Or maybe voting against something that you don’t personally like is not a strong strategy for a nationwide election?

Suggesting that there was “nothing” at all she could have done to inspire voters is a cope. And refusal to listen to the reasons people vote the way they do.

No. Y’all did this exact same mental gymnastics routine in '16. We elected a senile con man instead of a qualified woman because America has a deeply rooted misogyny problem. That’s all. Well, that and because pressures from climate change have made people afraid and easier to con.

I mean she also had a 20+ year smear campaign against her, that probably shaved a few votes I gotta imagine.

Right… It’s everyone else that’s the problem that the same tired tactics aren’t working over and over again.

It’s just those darn voters who need to be taught a lesson on how to vote properly. Those people that are hungry and poor just need to listen to what’s good for them and their disagreement is obviously because they are shitty people who hate women.

Great talk. Can’t wait to see all the outpour of support for that now and the 3rd victory in a row for Democrats. Because nothing need change and it’s everyone else that’s doing mental gymnastics.

If someone requires dispropprtionate convincing to do the obviously right thing, I do hold them responsible for being wilfully ignorant, yes.
