      The popular vote and $2 won't get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Dems performed well in last 2 years because Trump is widely hated. He was widely hated in 2016 too but Clinton managed to lose to him, which suggests a flawed campaign strategy.

      Yes, let’s totally ignore the fact that Special Counsel Mueller definitively stated the Russian government “extensively and systematically” worked to help Trump and Trump’s campaign manager gave a Russian spy 75 pgs of polling data on the battleground states.

      The winner of the election getting millions less in the pop vote: strange, but it happens. Polls being totally wrong; strange but it happens. Russians systematically interfering to help the electoral college winner; strange but put all the shit together and wtf R we stupid

      But the polls were wrong, and the point is that Jeet is just remarking about 2016 as if it was a level playing field in the face of all the evidence that it wasn’t.

      They weren’t wrong. Trump had a decent chance to win and he did (Russian interference may have had an effect; that was reflected in polls.)

      Uh, maybe you should A. Look at the dates of when those polls went in to & came out of the field B. Check out the date of the first Comey letter

      Also check out the date of the second Comey letter, which pollsters on both sides say provided the final movement to get Trump the win.

      I don't think you can decontextualize Comey from election strategy. Comey had a big impact because Clinton campaign demobilized many Dems & banked so much on suburban GOP crossover votes, the very people likely to be moved by Comey saying Clinton is crooked.

          That first sentence may be the dumbest thing I’ve read about the 2016 election. People who opposed the Iraq War blew it in 1999, because they should have planned for the stolen 2000 election and for the attacks on 9-11.

          Do you actually believe that? Would you have said it two days ago, before you decided to empty every chamber in to your foot, then reload & resume shooting? Or are you saying it bc you won’t admit you’re wrong—or that anything I’ve said is right—& you just can’t walk away?

          "demobilized many dems" *snort* The people she "demobilized" were racist-adjacent young men on the internet, appropriating the language and *the occasional policy* of the left, in order to weaponize it against multiculturalism and (((globalism))).

          I don't know why you feel so comfortable stating things you've just made up as factual assertions. Your political commentary would benefit a lot from statements like, "There's no evidence to support this point, but I have a hunch. . . . ."

          This pie has to die. Bernie mobilized so many people. I supported him then (like him) campaigned for her when he lost. I went out knocking doors in the Arizona heat, and more than half of the people who volunteered with me for her were his supporters.
