2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)It's cute how Hillary's fans are acting like social media is silly and meaningless. [View all]
How much did her campaign spend to get people to post in support of her?
Face it, young people aren't buying into this two party, good cop / bad cop bullshit. They dominate social media and their dissatisfaction with the Democratic party's Republican-liteness is obvious.
Don't blame liberals if your candidate loses. As Skinner said, the amount of progressives who won't vote for her is tiny.
It's all the middle of the road, not so politically inclined, 'politics is bullshit so why bother' types who will be her undoing, should she fall to win them over in the coming months.
Fortunately she will probably be running against Trump. His vulgar awfulness will motivate some people to vote against him. Many, however, know that the real power is with Congress, which thanks to the two party's collusion to maintain a stranglehold on power is gerrymandered beyond hope.
We like to point the finger at Republicans and say how corrupt and all about power and money they are. This election will show how few people on the left are still under the impression that none of that applies to Dems.
