Pokemon go to the polls!

I mean Trumpists don't care about facts, they will lap anything up.

But Hillary was hated all over the spectrum.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, and what was she hated for?

[–] msage@programming.dev 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ignoring several states in her campaign.

Being absolutely unrelatable.

Her policies very conservative.

Generally acting like the world owed her the position.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Politicians always skip states.

No candidates are actually relatable, they're just lying

Conservative policies are par for winning democratic candidates

Every candidate has to act like they're going to win. At what point did she seem like it was owed? Was it after she won the popular vote but lost the electoral?

What do you have from before 2015? Follow up, was Bernie your pick for 2016? Genuine question, not using it as a punchline

Yes, Bernie has been my pick since forever, he's the backbone of progressiveness in the US politics.

And I do believe he is an honest man, if not always absolutely on top of every topic (like the nuclear closure).

Politics may be a popularity contest, but personally I felt like Hillary got more votes because she wasn't Trump. But I believe anyone else would have gotten more votes than her.

I firmly hope Kamala will energize voters even more than Biden, even though her 2020 candidacy wasn't very convincing.

Hillary wasn't acting just like she was going to win, she had that demeanor of 'of course I win, what else could ever happen', and that made her even less likeable.

The whole email thing was absolute BS though, and I can't believe people hopped on that train.

Attacking victims of sexual assault. I'm sure there are a lot of other genuine reasons for not liking her. I was not brain washed into hating her. I still voted for her.
