Jul 2022

The winner of the presidential election is determined by the electoral college. Hillary won the popular vote but lost the electoral college. That's not negative, just factual.

I hope you're correct. maxsolomon Jul 2022 #6

I don't either. Haggard Celine Jul 2022 #7

I don't trust the folks in red states and locales to handle ballots. jaxexpat Jul 2022 #50

As qualified as the VP is, she has low favorability ratings, which GOP would exploit Fiendish Thingy Jul 2022 #8

We will never have a woman as president Bettie Jul 2022 #10

We shall see - it's possible the first woman president could be a Republican Fiendish Thingy Jul 2022 #16

Clinton won the popular vote, so did Gore I am ok with that. delisen Jul 2022 #59

It is also factual that James Comey repeatedly destroyed her campaign. StevieM Jul 2022 #27

So you're saying she lost Doc Sportello Jul 2022 #31

It seems unreasonable to doubt the dramatic effect that Comey had on that race. StevieM Jul 2022 #33

We are women. Dividing us is to support patriarchy which divides to conquer. delisen Jul 2022 #57

Those men are lost; and it is minority women that are doing the heavy lifting. Marcuse Jul 2022 #64

Convenient for the patriarchalists that "minority" women cannot win elections delisen Jul 2022 #65

Harris (or any Dem) will need more than Clinton's 42% of the European-American female vote to win Marcuse Jul 2022 #70
