(56,203 posts)we had the most qualified candidate in ages, she ran a solid campaign, and with the backdrop of an improving economy, a near tripling of the stock market, unemployment cut in half, the longest period of job growth ever, etc.
the problems that need fixing do not include that we need our candidate to be superhuman.
the problems that need fixing involve the media, the money in politics, the frames and narratives, the voting laws, the voting machines, the foreign influence, and so on that allowed maybe the worst candidate ever to claim victory over one of the best candidates ever.
it's simply crazy to play a completely unfair game with referees on the take and rules slanted in favor of the opposition and then insist that the problem is that we needed a better player.
fdr would have lost, jfk would have lost, bill clinton would have lost. please, enough of telling us we needed a better candidate.
