"Everything he ever wrote helped the Republicans with their Great Clinton Dick Hunt…"

Excuse me for being blunt, but what a crock of shit. He loathed Bill Clinton and called him out on being a right-winger who consistently delivered on enacting a Republican agenda, and that makes Hitchens a Republican?

Why take slaves out of Africa when you can just colonize Africa and call it 'governing' instead?

"Deplorables." Ugh. Another gift to Trump. Just like "fake news."

"Me see no evidence Stuff White People Like Candidate would have won national election."

I hear ya on the vote suppression, less so on the other stuff. (I think Comey was in an impossible spot. Many within the FBI wanted to indict, and with good reason. He was damned if you do, damned if you don't - a position Hillary put him in - and he tried to split the difference.)

I must say I admire your commitment to not breaking character.

I was evaluating her record based on her positions as a direct counterpoint to your "yeah but she cares about the kids" apology.

One of the main problems with the ACA, other than its whole market based premise in an area it doesn't belong, is that the burden of subsidizing the sick and the poor (which I support) falls most heavily on an already struggling middle class (which I don't support). It is far from a simple rich vs poor issue. If it…

Nice of her to think of the poor kids whose moms got kicked off welfare and whose dads got thrown in prison due to her husband's policies that she supported.

Also, "rigged" is not the same as a cynical, repellant strategy that is within the law.

Yeah I acknowledged above that vote supression is a real issue in contrast to some of the others floated as being the cause of Hillary's loss.

Ok, vote suppression is a real issue. I thought you were talking about Russia, Comey, etc., which in no way rises to the level of making the election "rigged," though many out there are probably convinced they do.

Yeah clearly they're doing a great job and don't need to change a thing.

Keith Ellison for DNC chair would be a good start.

You really think it was "rigged"? You are delusional.

It will be interesting to see if any third parties do gain traction at the local and state levels. The Democrats have been so thoroughly routed in so many places at these levels that it's not even a binary system at this point. In a huge, huge amount of jurisdictions, they have about as much chance of winning as a…

Who, Hillary? Nope - it was Putin, James Comey, Jill Stein, fake news, and Susan Sarandon.

Ugh.

I mean, clearly, as others have pointed out, the answer is "depends on the soup."
