(98,883 posts)equivalency coverage of our illustrious media, who go out of their way with their false eqivalencies, thinking it will give them the appearance of objectivity, when in fact it does just the opposite
Hillary was was ahead in the polls when 11 days before the election, Comey sent the lettter to the republicans in congress, and the media, including MSNBC then proceeded to parade every right wing politician across the screen telling us how the 'email investigation was being reopened". That was a lie, but it didn't stop the press, and The NY Times was right up in front propagating that lie
It was no coincidence that the lead Hillary had was completely erased, and Nate Silver leaves no doubt that event was the catalyst
Of course there was other interfering factors also which contributed to deliberately planting false stories and lies, along with Russian involvement in that
and last but not least there were those self-identified progressives who refused to vote for Hillary because the believed the bullshit that there was no difference between republicans and Democrats
Every Democrat running for Senate in those critical swing states lost to the incumbent, establishment, republican, and most of those Democrats were quite progressive
Well this country made its f**king bed, and now they are going to have to sleep in it because it is highly doubtful impeachment will occur, and if it did, those next in line are just as bad or worse
and to those 47% who couldn't be bothered to vote, they are ultimately where the blame lies. women's rights, labor rights, civil rights, social security, medicare, healthcare, and the environment are now in serious jeopardy because of their actions
