If she had been a contender, I bet Jill Stein would have conceded way better than Clinton did.

For all her virtues, Rachel Maddow makes 8 figures in her contract with MSNBC, and she isn't going to feel an ounce of real hardship during the Trump years.

She also has an INCREDIBLY skewed misogyny detector, because I remember her getting pissed at Bill Clinton for referring to Hillary as a "girl" in his convention speech.

I still can't believe Clinton ran away and refused to face her loyal followers.

Like of all the bad things I thought about her, I never thought she would do that.

I think we should try to pick candidates who would not actually do that.

Would be funny if the election was overturned. I cant see how the GOP could obstruct any more than they have already since 2008, so not sure what Hillary has to lose.

In fact, Stein in no way endorsed Donald Trump or opined that "Donald Trump is better" — rather, she said she wouldn't "sleep well at night" if either Trump or Clinton were elected, asserted that both candidates were "promoting lethal policies," and averred it was "fortunate [that] we have another choice other than these two candidates." The most positive thing Stein said about Donald Trump was that she found Hillary Clinton's foreign policy to be "scarier" than his:

At the very least there should be a thorough investigation into how much voter suppression measures ended up affecting electoral outcomes. How many ballots were discounted based on bogus voting fraud laws?

I think some genuine investigation and studies, not aimed at overturning the election results but at really understanding them, would be worthwhile in a lot of different ways.

But she was happy to host a platform to anyone interested in making GBS threads on Bernie Sanders, her network giving more voice to an empty podium than a fellow self described progressive, a guy who most certainly would have raised their taxes. It's almost like she and her network are entirely full of poo poo.

Does Stein even have a chance of having a judge go forward with a recount when it is so obvious that she didn't win? I know she's doing it for Hillary's sake but that can't be her legal reasoning for her, as a candidate, to get a recount, can it?

I didn't say Clinton didn't have a history with women. Calling Hillary Clinton a "girl" when telling a story about when they first met, however, is not part of it.

i wasnt surprised. she was never a strong figure, she was always in it for herself, and even her staunchest supporters knew it deep down.

in the end, she gave her morning after concession speech (showed up v. late) to ridiculous applause. she didnt even sound mad. she didnt promise a fight. it was a pathetic spectacle, but quite fitting

Look, Trump won the election. Anything is possible now. Nothing is forbidden.

We are clearly living in a simulation run by a bunch of teenagers who want to see how nuts they can make things go.

Stein is going to prove that the Russians stole the election, it'll force a constitutional crisis, some stuff will happen and Hillary wins in the end.

In 2018 the Democrats take the Senate.

In 2020 Stein runs again but having her image completely turned around by her saving the Republic she wins a decent chunk of electoral votes causing no candidate to win. The Republicans still hold the House and vote in Trump. The Senate votes in VP candidate Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders dies one month into office from natural causes. Speaker of the House Dave Brat ascends to the VP position.

Trump realizes that he hates being president and fires the US as a client and resigns.

Hail President Brat.

Election is over, don't try to change the past. I'm really annoyed that another round of this recount stuff is coming up. Although I guess it is a good sanity check to see how fascist our regime really is.

Moving forward, dig up all of Trump's speeches saying he's going to bring the jobs back and hold him accountable. The ones where he got everyone to rally together under the lovely factories that left America? Make your platform a platform of accountability. Jobs! No one cares about what Trump said about Hillary, the people at his rallies cared about what he had to say about jobs.

Now that your platform is about job equality, when the voting population realizes that a republican majority in all branches couldn't deliver on that, you have given them the perfect platform to defect to.

Oh yeah, we should also be pro gun as hell. Guns own. Now that a bunch of loving nationalist fascists have shown up the left wants guns to. Everyone wants guns. The more you idolize guns the more votes you get next election, straight up.
