(841 posts)The media wants to make every election a close horse race for views and clicks so they had to amplify Clinton's supposed negatives to match Trump's. That is how you heard about the dumb e-mail "scandal" as much as or even more than Trump's misogyny or his stiffing contractors and other problems.

(1,717 posts)Of course she erred badly, as did some others, but that had
very little to do with the outcome of the election.
THIS (below) is why Ms. Clinton lost, and DU should be spending time
and effort on how to deal with it in 2018 and beyond . .

(3,322 posts)NO, a vote for Nader to make a point since after all, there is no real difference between Gore and Bush and the 2 Establishments Party's.
Um, Alito and John Roberts, 2 illegal Wars, Economic disaster later. Um, YES there is a Difference!!!!

(6,908 posts)I NEVER said that, nor anyone with half a brain here. Go seek out the offenders and stop ragging on your friends.
We are already angry with the mess, and don't deserve generalized complaints. Muhammad Ali said "the first thing I do to unnerve an opponent is to get them angry". (paraphrased)
Anger is like starting fluid. one squirt can start an engine, but it won't power it for more than a second.

I'm speaking to the people who saw fit to start their own bullshit site but can't help but come over here to gloat. Fuck them! They ARE watching!

(3,598 posts)That's why "A vote for Anderson is a vote for Nader is a vote for Stein which is a vote for Reagan is a vote for Bush is a vote for Trump." Do you still think "There is no difference?" Between Carter and Reagan, Bush and Gore, Clinton and Trump?
If you do, you are a fool.

Who are you preaching to?
Who here really thought there was no difference?
And even if there had been some who thought that, what is the point of this now?!

(5,042 posts)Do you know what a lurker is?
Anyone posting here and on a site that's referring to President Obama snarkily as "Mr Hope and Change" TODAY should get the fuck out of here.
FiveGoodMen
(20,018 posts)If there are lurkers who STILL think there's no difference, this won't change their minds.
If there are those who know better now and lurk anyway, then 1) they know better now, and 2) they're not going to come out and apologize.
Meanwhile, we all have to waste our time on these rants.
