Dems will basically always win the popular vote because they have NY and CA.

Honest question, what makes you think those votes would have gone to Hillary? The few Johnson supporters I know probably would have gone Trump. But that’s a small sample size so I don’t know what the norm is.
The current result of the election is due to rhetoric like this, and half the country telling the other half what they can go do, much like you have.
On to Elizabeth Warren.
Millions of people didn’t read that article. Do you honestly think that prompted people from rural Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to vote in absurd margins for Trump?
Jesus fucking Christ.
This reductionist argument is why nobody saw this coming. Years of not addressing working class whites, ignoring their legitimate worries about cities growing while their communities failed, and attributing all their dissent to racism gives you one hell of a spite vote.
Well those white women voters don’t seem to mind it. I don’t ever want to hear anything about white women being feminists again.
Don’t be so quick to let women off the hook. White women anyway.
If this election, along with the Brexit vote and the 2015 British election, has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t do shit (politically speaking) without the support of middle-of-the-road white people. You can’t advance feminist causes without wining over men and women who aren’t self-identified feminists. You…
...or maybe that Hillary was an overwhelmingly unlikeable clam who couldn’t be trusted with something as simple as classified e-mail?
True enough. Trump supporters voted for issues that had nothing to with the ones democrats were concerned with. The neo-liberal philosophy of free trade and open borders has gone from being a good thing to a recognition that sometimes relations are a zero sum game. It’s no longer acceptable for the world elites to…
Keep up with the mocking and snide remarks. You guys will never learn.
But mostly, fuck you and fuck your fucking misogyny.
It’s the democrats fault. This is the equivalent of an election when you’re down by one point, steal the ball, run down court and perform a layup to win.
That’s been the narrative all along, but there’s zero evidence to back it up. In fact, in key places like Michigan, Wisconsin and NH Bernie beat Hillary head to head. Places where Trump is now contesting for the first time.
They somehow couldn’t see the writing on the wall that the big issue was globalization. Trump and Bernie both made huge inroads on opposite sides of the spectrum on that single issue. But still democrats thought it was safer to maintain a status quo. Try to please everyone, end up pissing off everyone.
Umm, this is absolutely Hillary Clinton’s fault. She colluded with the DNC to win the primary by pushing negative stories about Sanders and holding debates during NFL playoff games. She got debate questions in advance because she never answers any questions off the cuff. She never connected with voters but it was ‘her…
He’s worse. Doesn’t make her good. (And of course she got my vote, for the record.)
