(23,138 posts)that Hillary won the popular vote, and IMO, the election was tampered with, and up to 5 states have results that don't pass my smell test. Hillary won the popular vote in spite of the vitriol flung at her for years and decades. It was like she was the bullseye for every single cause liberals and progressives want and conservatives and feudal lords hate. And she rose above it all. Then she hit the gd MSM and they did their damnedest to ignore her experience, her message, her intelligence and on and on. It is pretty bad when outright lies prevail and cause politically naive people to vote for a candidate that can't possibly win or worse, stay home, or worse, spread the misinformation that made this election artificially close.
And as I mentioned, if Hillary and Bernie hadn't sparred, hadn't had interactions which the media hoped would draw blood, Hillary's campaign would have been assiduously ignored. As it was, her message was marginalized, although people who voted for trump probably couldn't hear anything over the voices in their heads.
