Gray, Susan Sarandon, etc., and much of the "liberal media", giving those people much more airtime than they deserved to undermine the Hillary campaign pushing the false memo there was no "difference between Democrats and republicans, Hillary would be worse than trump, etc.", and of course Jim Comey, who 11 days before the general election sent a memo to the republicans in congress, who with the help of the MSM paraded right wing pundits across the various media outlets pushing the LIE that the "email investigation was reopened", until late Friday, the weekend before the general election, Comey quietly coming out saying no new information was found, and the email investigation would not be reopened.
Everyone with half a brain knew the SC was at stake, and those anti-Hillary so-called progressives still refused to vote for Hillary by either voting third party, or not voting.
In every swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, while in those swing states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote. It didn't take much.
My point being, the same actors are presenting themselves this time also, such as RFK jr, Cornell West, Jill Stein. The only thing that is different is there is a counter that the MSM does not regularly talk about, and that is the never trumpet republicans. They are a very real wild card.
Of course you are correct, getting the vote out is key, but we sure as heck cannot depend on those so-called self-identified progressives who refused to vote for Hillary in the 2016 general election. They are not reliable, and frankly, they have demonstrated that they are a bunch of losers, not unlike the orange menace.
