Interesting analysis of where Hillary went wrong
"The average Clintonian understands why the Right disliked their candidate but has no clue whatsoever why so many Progressives wouldn't support Hillary. Don't take my word for this. Ask them to guess!"

Now justify and rationalize that outcome.

I wonder if it is aimed at those who have been thrown off Facebook or Twitter for hate speech?

(24 posts)Tremr seems to be very lacking in the kind of hateful stuff clogging up Twitter and Facebook. Mainly pretty reasoned progressive posts and debate from what I've seen.

(18,040 posts)helped put Trump in the White House. The only miscalculation was the expectation that the average progressive who went third party or didn't vote would actually do the right thing on election day. Each of those average progressives made one catastrophic mistake on November 8. We will all have to live with the result of the aggregate of those single catastrophic mistakes. It was narcissistic self indulgence at its very worst.
Weaponized votes, like elections, have consequences. One of those consequences is the abject contempt of at least some the 63,000,000 people who they let down. The average progressive who voted third party or didn't vote needs to learn to live with it. They can't spin their way out of culpability.

(10,173 posts)"That required nothing less than the single most egregious and ridiculous error in U.S. political history. Not only had no one else ever made this unthinkable gaffe; Hillary herself didn't consider it in 2008, even in more desperate circumstances, against Obama. Ignoring all advice, with executives resigning in protest, without a vote or a precedent, Hillary shocked and enraged feminists by getting her friend, Cecile Richards, to have Planned Parenthood--until then a rallying point for all liberals--endorse a candidate during a Democratic primary. "
So this is why the white women didn't vote Hillary? What about the other colors of *progressive women who value planned parenthood and voted Hillz? ???
Look, not today eh. ..

(18,040 posts)I'm not particularly interested in hearing the spin of the average progressive who voted third party or didn't vote. I feel abject and complete contempt for them, just like I did for the Naderites in 2000.

And how far have they gotten with their pure vision of how the world should be, what's Jill's record in public service? Has she ever spent a day facing the challenges of your average public servant..
I can't take lazy critiques.

The Michigan voters were angry. It may turn out she actually won there though. Well see when Stein files.
