    Those one-liners don’t come close to describing the reason voters rejected those candidates.

    Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz backstabbing Bernie Sanders had to be a huge part of why people hated her.

      Accuracy is not the goal, smug indignation is. You never have to examine your beliefs if you just blame someone else for the loss.

      She won the most votes so not sure how much of a difference that actually made. The problem is our dog shit electoral system.

      Well “those voters” made the country and the world much, much worse than it could have been. So fuck them. Thanks a lot “those voters”. Shitheads.

        I understand the sentiment but it’s a little more nuanced than that. I was one of “those voters” because fuck Hillary. However, I also live in a state that her win was guaranteed and therefore I could toss a vote to Gary Johnson and not worry. We definitely need ranked choice voting.

          So you’re happy trump won. Okay, i mean, fair enough. Lots of dudes really hated hillary. I know more than a couple. But I’m in a shithole state, so. It’s more . . . pungent.

            Hillary won my state and that’s my whole point. My vote for a 3rd party was a safe vote because Hillary was going to win. I’m not sure if you understand our system and how the electoral college works.

              No, no fair enough. Living in a state where dipshit racists don’t openly cheat and win every time just seems like a magical dream.
