fucking ...alabama... just voted for a trans canidate, the idea clinton or harris lost because they were woman is nonsense. they lost because they were very obviously establishment stooges. one a career parasite most well-known for not having enough self-respect to leave a cheater, and the other flipflopped on all their big rallying cries within 24hrs. it was immediately noticable when harris was brought back on script...not too mention not having a primary and running a fucking Cheney endorsement at the DNC.
they lost cause they sucked ass and swallow. for the average person, if you have to choose between a corrupt pos smart enough to hide it and someone whose so goddamn proud of their corroption they brag about it...the latter is a known factor and therefor easier to work around.
Hilary lost because of the electoral system ,she won the popular vote
But on the other hand, she neglected key battleground states and Trump didn't, so this is less a failure of the system (which sucks anyway) and more Hillary actively choosing to play the wrong game.
She would have won the electoral college if she won more states, which she would have done if she wasn't an establishment Democrat but actually had a popular platform.
If there was no electoral college she would have won. You are proving my point
If she was actually running on a popular program, she would have won even with the electoral college. She lost because she alienated the people, it really isn't difficult to be better than Trump.
@IronBird nonetheless. Still Better in every way than the Orange #pedophile
According to post-election polls Harris would've done much better if she had promised to withhold weapons from Israel. Her own choices led to her defeat.
