(11,213 posts)Yes. The election was quite clear.
Hillary won the popular vote (emphasis on popular). She did this despite an avalanche of dirty dealing that anyone paying attention knows about now. There were about a dozen (not one as you say) reasons that she lost the electoral vote. She had still overcome then all. She was cruising to an election until comey stepped on the constitution. She would have overcome that too if any one of the other crooked (or stupid) things not happened.
Maybe in the dorms at Berkeley or the streets of some parts of San Francisco, there is a call for a people's uprising, a roiling proletariate rife for revolution. All hundred or so strong. But that just ain't what we have here in the rest of the country.
I was a kid once too. I manned the rhetorical battlements of my college. I sat in the young bars and saw that all those around me wanted giant changes, wanted them right damn now. Or else.
Problem was the the next morning I had to go to work. Whether it was in the rows of desks or with the crews unloading the trucks, no one wanted a revolution. Those that wanted change, wanted it slow and easy to digest.
Something you need to find out. Just because a newspaper says something you agree with doesn't make it so. I can find a lot of anti-Hillary press. We know a lot of it was filled with russian propaganda at the time. A lot of it still is. That is one of things that Hillary had to overcome. Don't be one of those propagating the propaganda.
