You missed basket of deplorables which is likely the exact moment she really lost.

Pokemon Go to the polls. That campaign had a death by 1000 paper cuts. Yet she still won the popular vote.

Hell, she's STILL out here working to tank democrats in the name of status quo corporatism,

"What do you say to voters who are upset that those are the two choices? Get over yourself."

Democrats need the boogeyman of Trump but they will 1000% take Trump before they give an inch to the left, but they'll be happy to blame leftists for their loss after 4 years of telling em to eat a dick.

You’re right.

There’s not nearly as much as Trump but it’s still a lot, grrr

I'm no Hillary fan, but I thought the consensus was she lost because of Comey's bullshit October surprise.

Her Basket of Deplorables remark is actually the moment she MOST energized her base and grassroots coalition. That was a blip of authenticity I and many others appreciated.

You know, the people who actually go out and do the door-knocking, phone-banking, fundraising, and pushing back against Uncle Bob and their parents while dragging their friend to the poll out of voter-enthusiasm.

And she was fucking right, like she was about everything, and I suspect that deep down you people know it, and are ashamed, and that's why you lash out at her.
