so many times i hear she didn't address this, she didn't address that. She had the most comprehensive, sensible, realistic platform, and it was laid out for people, and she spoke about it ceaselessly until she literally collapsed. yet the rancor continued and it really defies common sense.

plus, she did win. more and more i believe that leftist pundits who bashed her incessantly are partially responsible for the outcome of the election. it was just close enough to steal and it should have been a blow out.

during the election, Jimmy Dore, on the young turks, went on a rant about Hillary and yelled that he wasn't afraid of trump being president. how many listeners said yeah! let's just make sure hillary loses and it will all come out okay...well it didn't goddamit and i cannot forgive this person, who has influence on people's actions, for making those reckless statements.

but again, water under the bridge. that it's still being litigated is really fucked up right now, when we need to elect democrats. like it or not there are 2 viable parties. they are not the same. we need democrats.
