There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

At least the Wisconsin recount went well. Trump increased his vote tally albeit slightly.

The system was rigged against him.

And people of color whose votes are wildly more likely to be excluded

How about if Hillary set out only to secure 271 electoral votes. Instead she attempted to gain as many yards as possible while ignoring the final score.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Yeah but I think there was a two fold thing that happened here... Trump voters were not likely to say they were going to vote Trump in polls (at least partially) because the media made it seem so stupid to vote Trump. Even if you agreed with his ideas (or some) you didn't want to defend why you were voting that way because it was going to take two hours to explain it all. That added to the national poll favors Clinton by x% probably kept some Clinton supporters in key states from bothering to vote and boom, you have Trump as president.

She ran more ads in Los Angeles than Milwaukee.

It would've been more fair if Russia hadn't hacked voting machines and tampered with the election!

In results that narrow, Clinton’s loss could be attributed to any number of factors — FBI Director Jim Comey’s letter shifting late deciders, the lack of a compelling economic message, the apparent Russian hacking. But heartbroken and frustrated in-state battleground operatives worry that a lesson being missed is a simple one: Get the basics of campaigning right.

Clinton never even stopped by a United Auto Workers union hall in Michigan, though a person involved with the campaign noted bitterly that the UAW flaked on GOTV commitments in the final days, and that AFSCME never even made any, despite months of appeals.

The anecdotes are different but the narrative is the same across battlegrounds, where Democratic operatives lament a one-size-fits-all approach drawn entirely from pre-selected data — operatives spit out “the model, the model,” as they complain about it — guiding Mook’s decisions on field, television, everything else. That’s the same data operation, of course, that predicted Clinton would win the Iowa caucuses by 6 percentage points (she scraped by with two-tenths of a point), and that predicted she’d beat Bernie Sanders in Michigan (he won by 1.5 points).

“I’ve never seen a campaign like this,” said Virgie Rollins, a Democratic National Committee member and longtime political hand in Michigan who described months of failed attempts to get attention to the collapse she was watching unfold in slow-motion among women and African-American millennials.

Rollins, the chair emeritus of the Michigan Democratic Women’s Caucus, said requests into Brooklyn for surrogates to come talk to her group were never answered. When they held their events anyway, she said, they also got no response to requests for a little money to help cover costs.

Rollins doesn’t need a recount to understand why Clinton lost the state.

“When you don’t reach out to community folk and reach out to precinct campaigns and district organizations that know where the votes are, then you’re going to have problems,” she said.

Michigan operatives relay stories like one about an older woman in Flint who showed up at a Clinton campaign office, asking for a lawn sign and offering to canvass, being told these were not “scientifically” significant ways of increasing the vote, and leaving, never to return.

ANOTHER article about how much the stat jockeys utterly fucked this up.




dear lord

I wonder just how much effect the "Latinos are mindless drones" leaks had on the election.

The problem apparently isn't the horrible thoughts and scummy behavior of Hillary and her supporters. It's that Russians exposed them. Remember when liberals loved Wikileaks?

How dare someone reveal how scummy our candidate is while not revealing how equally scummy the other candidate is.

What concerns me the most about the push to stop fake news is it feels like its the start of state sponsored media. If people want to be blissfully ignorant with their news, they have that right. Also, if the dem's do push through some reform on "fake news", they do realize a Republican majority will soon be in charge. Do they really want to be giving them the first crack at shaping that control.

I know you're kidding but I guarantee you most Americans who are only half paying attention think that's what this is about rather than the simple fact that leaked emails- regardless of how they came to light- showed Clinton and her cronies as the scumbags they are. And now some of them want a do-over.

CH, your post makes it seems as if the Dem campaign authorities were Bernsie saber zombies bent on proving old school wrong.
