Bro hasn't been introduced to the concept of demographic growth
Yeah, she lost in a historic fashion. Like, embarrassingly bad. And her sycophants are just like, "its opposite day!"
She outperformed George Washington by a factor of 2,678:1! How can you not respect her campaigning abilities?
"So, we got our asses handed to us pretty hard this election...clearly we need to change nothing except ramp up and extend the duration of our shame and insult 'get the vote out' campaigns"
hillary fucking clinton was an astoundingly unlikeable open warmonger and STILL beat trump in the popular vote
| save 2
The fact that one of those two had nearly 12 million more votes despite his brain leaking out of his ear seems somehow relevant, but who am I to 'opine'?
Apparently you only get to opine if you're educated in civics. Say, is Drew Comments educated in civics?
Did she get more votes than trump
Charlie Brown ass political party
Even ignoring the massive “raw number versus percentage” problem, her raw total dropped off by more than 6 million from Biden in 2020. There’s no amount of lipstick that can be put on that pig.
Probably like 95% of their votes are already baked in through pure inertia, it's possible she could have run no campaign at all and landed roughly where she did.
isn't that basically what she did?
She did tell anti-genocide protestors to shut up and also said, "Actually, I love fracking!"
She also told trans people, "I love laws", while her supporters were going around telling them that Trump was going to pass laws to round them up and put them into camps.
"I will wave goodbye when they put you in the caddlecar" wasn't the winning campaign message they thought it was.
Probably would have done better if she had done nothing.
Hell they'd make successful decisions then immediately reverse when they were shown to be good ones only to go full warmonger.
No. She ran a campaign. She was all over social media. She had commercials. She was doing rallies. She was pretty active.
In a way that was the problem because she was not giving the speeches and answering the questions that motivated people to vote for her. Her inability to move even a fraction left on some key issues just gave more fuel to the dumpster fire of apathy and resentment that the Democrats keep perpetually burning and really ended up suppressing turnout. People would rather stand alone in the cold than huddle around it anymore.
Nope, she tried her damnedest to run her election into the ground and still managed to get 63 million votes.
A paper bag with a smiley face drawn on it would probably have received the same number of votes.
This person is simply uneducated in the fact that people fuck each other and move, causing population to grow.
Let's do the same thing forever and expect different results. That's the sign of true intelligence
:vaz: Do you know what the definition of insanity is?
Just a reminder that if you hadn't cheated Bernie your precious billionaire CEO would still be sunning his balls on a yacht right now.
I like how they say that as if the democratic ticket, regardless of candidate, wasn't being relentlessly pushed for 9 months. If anything the switch itself generated more buzz and interested about the campaign than any other action.
you can't shame and insult people into voting for you ... but that wont stop us from trying!!
The campaign ended right as it was starting to plummet. In all likelihood, with a full 7 months, she would have done even worse.
got more votes than every other candidate in U.S. history
Which has never fucking mattered in a presidential election, it always comes down to electoral college votes. Popular vote means nothing and never has
except 2
lol
lmao
Imagine posting that L and thinking it's a win (Those 2 are Biden and Trump)
This is mostly a consequence of rising population numbers, and is a silly statement
In a democracy with a rising population you should hope for every election to have a higher turnout than the previous election.
Having a lower turnout should mean your democracy isn't very democratic.
We need some kind of tech where anyone who posts about an election that is more than 3 years away instantly receives an electric shock from their computer. It should increase in intensity with every infraction all the way up to death because I can't fucking take this shit dawg omg just shut the fuck up we haven't even inaugurated the guy from the last election yet
This is a killer app idea
Diode politics, the flow of blame can only go in ONE direction!
Losing an election makes you a bad candidate, I don't make the rules.
And she lost to a guy who lost his last election, so bad²
Maybe they can for once let primary run it’s natural course instead of pre-selecting candidates. Outrageous, I know.
There where states that had down-ticket Dems with more votes than her. Like people voted straight democrat except Kamala. This is a clear cut example of a bad candidate.
Really makes me think there might be something to the idea that Dems lose on purpose because it's better for fundraising
not qualified to opine
If I'm 'not qualified to opine' then I better be safe than sorry and simply not vote for her (a sentiment apparently shared by the 15 million people who decided not to vote democrat this time around)
Telling the democrats I can't vote for them because I'm just not qualified to.
employee of the year at the debasing yourself factory
bar two
which two lol
Dafuq is civics? From civ 5?
CIVIC5
If you believe in a democracy you should probably not use the word "mandate" so flippantly
Liberals really need to learn how to take an L, but I’m pretty sure their overinflated egos won’t allow that.
