Sure Hillary was not the perfect candidate. She perhaps made some mistakes in her campaign. Sanders candidacy did not help in some ways. The media played its ugly role as well as Comey & the Russians.
The problems was that we have too many boneheads who voted to blow their economic brains out. Their hatreds and deranged thinking "trumped" voting for their well being. Trump supporters are not the kind of people you would rescue if they were dying. That is because they will kill you in the end in some way. Now we all suffer.
In spite of it all we all know that Hillary actually won the election in every way. And we know in our hearts that the voting and counting was corrupted. Damn it we know it. But we cannot do anything about it. The GOP itself was NOT elected either in such great numbers.
What we see now is a nation in crisis because we have oligarchs, racists, the KKK, white supremacists and genocidal evangelical Christians et al holding power. I say genocidal Nazi Christians because they want the LGBTQ community and transgender individuals dead or in jail. They hate Jews, atheists, humanist etc. And they are just as crazy and murderous as ISIS in the long term.
So here we are with a big mess.

(30,733 posts)Sure Hillary was not the perfect candidate? I am not going to let that pass again. She was the most qualified person to run for the Presidency - EVER.

(89 posts)They had to steal it from her.
She would have been a fine President.
The fact that so many people were willing to vote for that asshole to make it close enough to steal is disturbing.
This was a character test. The country failed.

- Voter suppression
- Misogyny and racism
- A media more beholden to ratings than to truth
- An electorate who thinks reality TV has anything to with reality.
I'm not at all sure how she (or anyone) could have been expected to overcome all that.

and I can't understand why everyone's wasting their effing time and energy on HOW anybody voted who got to vote.
