I agree. Clinton wasn’t a bad candidate, but she certainly wasn’t populist and her campaign team was comprised entirely of idiots.

She was bound to get hammered in Ohio. As a Michigan native ...well...fuck OHIO!

Hillary Clinton did not go to Wisconsin once. She basically took the whole month of August off to do fundraisers. President Obama, who won two Presidential elections, was right on the money when he brought up how getting out and meeting people is what won him those races. Hillary lost and it’s her own damn fault.…

Yeah. I’m pretty over the wagon-circling and doubling down on tribal politics in the fall out of all of this, tbh. I don’t get why admitting that things could’ve been done differently somehow negates the very real sexism and double standards she faced during this campaign. Both things can be true my friends! Hillary…

Each day I’m more and more convinced that the commenters on Jezebel have never met anyone that isn’t like them (except their uncle or in-laws that they hate). The inability to grasp we lost is astonishing. The majority of people don’t find identity politics appealing. Most people vote for what they perceive to be the…

Eh, I’ve been around. I was browbeaten into submission during the primaries, fought the good fight for Clinton in the general, worried about each mistake and called them out in turn, but ultimately stayed loyal to the party. Of course, if you even thought about voting for a socialist in the primaries, you’re among…

“You tanked her and Obama’s platform with Bernie’s education plan for your dogwhistle bullshit.”

The flavor of Jezebel lately has been “circle the wagons” and “we ran a perfect campaign”. As goes our comments’ section, so goes the nation, I always say.

interesting, i hadn’t heard that. who was saying we should abandon pushing for equal rights and police reform?

Here’s our plan, from what I can tell:

Oh my God. Congratulations on being 16 years old and pouting. He ‘used’ the DNC because he votes with them like 99% of the time and because it’s the only viable path to victory in our country. Also, don’t know if you’ve read anything in the last two months, but the DNC absolutely sabotaged him from the very beginning.

So you’re ‘kinda over’ all the progressive values that he’s been espousing for 30-40 years? Jesus Christ, dude. Fuck off.

It’s possible to be deeply humiliated by a lot of things.

“Talking to the working class” doesn’t mean “appeasing racists”.

I think it’s worth saying. Taking them for granted was their greatest hubris in this election.

Of course Bernie would have won; does anyone doubt that Bernie would have kept the working class white men in Ohio, WI, PA and Michigan that voted for Obama twice but then switched to Trump? WI, PA & MI were the whole ballgame and they’re Bernie territory. We could have had President-elect Sanders instead of that fat,…

Those are things that were known to come along with having Clinton as the candidate. It didn’t have to be her, and I’m not just talking about Bernie. She was a top down candidate.

If Comey wanted to throw the outcome of an election, all he had to do was recommend charges against Clinton at his July press conference. Even if the DoJ would have declined his recommendation (verly likely), the damage would have been done. He didn’t, so blaming Comey for the outcome of an election, where 53% of all…

I’m so pissed that James Comey forced her to set up her own email server, in defiance of the rules.

People want to blame everyone but Clinton and the democratic party for the loss. Typical punching down instead of up. I wish dems would take responsibility for doing a poor job.
