It was Jill or not voting at all that the choice for those that got turned off. Hard to say what the HRC campaign should have done, but 78K votes in three states isn't impossible if you really work at it.

Just like shady tactics/butterfly ballots/SCOTUS in Fla gave us W, not Nader being a prick. In that case, Gore had the numbers if he got a full recount.

Now. I am seriously going to go into lurk mode if we stay stuck fighting over the same shit. To lose by winning 3 million more votes is just so.... Well, we are used to having to be a thousand times better to get the same job, so I guess I am not taking it as hard as folks who think life is supposed to be fair.
Now, Stein is shady as hell, with her lies about Hillary being worse than trump. Why can't we just be honest and say , trump ran as a xenophobe and that's what rural white voters wanted? Once they get their fill of him, they'll eventually stfu and go back into their holes. Why cant we just realize that the media reporting on every single tweet gave him a billion in free advertising?

Time to move on and use our energy to wreck trumps shit.

Some things I simply have to push back on, though...I understand that a lot of people are as frustrated about things as I am

I'm of the opinion that if we recount the votes by hand, trump lost regardless. Nothing we can do now except try to impeach that asshole. I think all of us who are left of center are simply enraged. We should be. It was a robbery.
Some folks are still trying to decide who to be mad at. I get that. I'm so mad I just cant stand myself.
