79,000 votes decided Presidency by Electoral College while HRC received 2.5 M more popular votes.

HRC got more votes for prez than any white man running for Prez.

So please stop talking about how unlikeable HRC was or is

Thank you.

1. I am just flummoxed at some of the insults, and bashing there is of Hillary here. Still to this day

Even with the new jury rules... It is ok the bash the hell out of Hillary.

5. Does it matter if it's factual?

As in numbers of votes received as opposed to an opinion?

11. Me too

Some are acting like this was a Drumpf landslide. It's mind boggling.

2. If Stein voters had voted for Hillary instead, she would have won all three states...

....and the Presidency. If you don't like facts please don't reply with garbage.

3. It was the 79,000 votes that decided my future, not the 2.5 mil. I am trying to let that sink in ...

Not getting over this shit anytime soon.

4. Her win was in reach...that's the hardest part to swallow...n/t

6. NOW try to defend the Electoral College, Goddammit!!!!!

9. Hillary won a game nobody was playing.

The rules of the game was to win the most electoral votes, not popular votes. All candidates knew this going in.

If the game was to win the popular vote, it would've been played much differently.

7. K & R. A lot of OP's on DU right now could use a dose of this reality. nt

8. and w/o Comey, Hillary wins easily,

as most polls and prediction models predicted. Even with voter suppression (remember this is the first pres election in 50 years not protected by the Voting Rights Act.)

the berniebot alt-left (just like the trumper alt-right) is focused on white populism, and can't stand the Clinton/Obama Dems, who tend to focus more on social liberalism and the advancement of minorities, women, gays etc, and have more of an internationalist view of the world.

10. Sanders and his supporters aren't an equivalent to the alt right

Sanders focused on class/economics not as a part of a race based world view, but in viewing economic justice as key to rejuvenating the working and middle classes.

Yes Sanders' support was primarily from white Democrats, but he won the minority vote from young voters.

Calling his supporters the alt left is both inaccurate and offensive.

12. Clinton is definitely despised by a lot of folks.

And that may have induced greater turnout among Republicans.
