Welp, that poo poo happened.

I finally recovered from my hangover and wanted to post in the Baloogan thread but it's already gone.

My two cents is that the people saying the Democrats lost touch with too many middle class white males is probably correct. Also, peepaw Bernie was not the answer. Socialism does not sell in the U.S., never has and never will in our lifetimes.

I'm glad C-SPAM is sticking around. Can't wait for the novels written about this.

Hillary lost because she came off goofy. She acted all friendly and it came off stilted. Like, look lady, we know you're a hardened career politician -- act like Margaret Thatcher and be an enormous tough bitch. Her image loving sucked and came off disingenuous. Looking forward to Chelsea 2020.

hmm i wonder why hillary lost

quote:

A New Hampshire voter asked: "As president, would you sign a bill, yes or no please, in favor of allowing they Keystone XL pipeline?"

Clinton responds:

Well (four second pause), as you know, I was the Secretary of State who started that process. I was the one who put into place the investigation, I have now passed it off, as obvious, cause I'm no longer there, to Secretary Kerry. This is President Obama's decision, and I am not going to second guess him, because I was in a position to set this in moition and I do not think that would be the right thing to do.

So, I want to wait and see what he and Secretary Kerry decide... if it's undecided when I become president, I will answer your question.

Back in 2006, I was angry. Angry at the Republicans, angry at the weakness of the Dems. I was hard left, and wanted to destroy the current government.
Then later Obama happened. Yea! He was a good person. I started to calm down.
We got piddling reforms, and I supported the Dems and blamed Republicans for not getting more done.
And by the the 2016 came around, my personal life was more secure, therefore more of the same was a great idea, right? So I supported Hillary.

Never again. Burn the loving DNC to the ground. I want a socialist, and I want him to force his agenda on America, Stalin style. Letting Trump win is disgusting. Democratic hubris will destroy years of progress, and hurt millions.
gently caress weak willed centrists. Never again.

The rust belt was just as lovely economically in 2012. Republicans put up someone who came off like everyone's rear end in a top hat boss, sang his praises about what a skilled technocrat he was, and told people to hold their nose and vote for him.

quote:

The ferocity of the attachments between Clinton and her staffers has been part of the story of her campaign; at times it has made them more defensive and probably (in the case of her private e-mail server) helped to trap Clinton into some bad choices. Her concession speech suggested a reason for that intensity: she believed that she and her staff represented a movement, even if her opponents to her left and right never saw her that way.

it's called being delusional. she was high on her own farts

remember when hillary refused to release her wall street transcripts and her faithful gave her a pass? remember when it came out that hillary was indeed in bed with wallstreet and her faithful blew it off because they were blinded by sunk cost fallacy?

quote:

Touching on her view of developing financial regulations, Clinton declared to a crowd of Goldman Sachs bankers that in order to �figure out what works,� the �people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry.�

At the Goldman Sachs Builders and Innovators Summit, Clinton responded to a question from chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, who quipped that you �go to Washington� to �make a small fortune.� Clinton agreed with the comment and complained about ethics rules that require officials to divest from certain assets before entering government. �There is such a bias against people who have led successful and/or complicated lives,� Clinton said.

Here's a fun little article: Hillary Clinton�s strategies cost Hillary Clinton the election

quote:

Democratic clustering didn�t start in 2016, but it lost Hillary Clinton the Electoral College because she thought it would energize her base if she put half the country in a �basket of deplorables.�

�You cannot write off half the country,� Dayen wrote, �much less spend an election cycle deriding it, and expect success.�

What Clinton needed � and failed to offer � was a cogent platform and a �change�-based slogan. Trump won the presidency with only the latter.

In short, it�s hard to read a room you�re not even in.

Clinton twice took Michigan for granted � in the primaries and the general � and twice lost in what were later called upsets. Had she even bothered to visit Wisconsin during the general, she might not have been so dead sure the state was a lock.

Even in Democratic-heavy cities like Detroit and Milwaukee, she trailed President Obama�s 2012 numbers by 50,000 and 27,000, respectively.

Beyond the Obama coalition, Clinton � whose tangential relation to NAFTA and flip-flopping on TPP Trump reiterated in near-daily rallies across the country � made no attempt to reconcile with labor union members. And, according to exit polling, paid for it.

Hillary Clinton ultimately lost because she didn�t market herself where it mattered. What she called a platform was a steaming pile of pathos that played well on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts but drowned in the Great Lakes.

one interesting perspective this article made me think of:

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/796222841612042240?ref_src=tw

if you supported hillary as the safe candidate over bernie sanders you literally are responsible for trump. it was hillary's bright idea to make trump her opponent and she couldn't pull a win off him. if people had gone all in on bernie, it might've been JEB! vs bernie instead of idiot vs trump and we would almost certainly be in a better position today.

Her status is well above working class people who have to deal with sexual harassment or racism on a daily basis or even frustration for not being able to have a meal on their plate for dinner and it showed through out her campaigning, having private dinners and 500 dollar tickets to see her speak etc. We can appreciate the fact that thirdwayism is completely dead and its time for a democrat populist movement, speaking of which

I hope they consider his opinion instead of bringing Howard Dean back on board because he's pretty insider and it won't represent the leadership the DNC needs right now after the DNC pretty much strongarmed people and padded Clinton's nomination to her favor.

While yes, some people were pretty smug about it, I'll ask you to try not to incite some lovely flamewar over some grudge. The election craze will die down and C-SPAM will have some changes, so please consider this moving forward.

doing that in oklahoma and texas formed a lot of the reason I was so anti-hillary this campaign, cause I saw these people working their asses off every day and trying to do their best and getting poo poo on endlessly because they didn't have the right parents, connections, or genes.

Schumer backing keith confirms what venom snake is saying about the party being completely leaderless and broken. It's really difficult to overstate how much of the internal power structure of the democratic party has been violently upeneded with the collapse of the clinton faction, with hundreds of party apparatchiks completely giving up and leaving or having an extreme existential crisis

congressman keith ellision has put his name foward for dnc chair and is supported by bernie. he is the second in command of the congresional progressive caucus and basically and third way/clintonism as you can get.

senate minority leader chuck schumer is a vile snake who does what is best for schumer and was a major force supporting the clinton faction. him running to the progressives like a dog, where he would be viewed with suspicion by the new locus of power of progressives and left-liberals is a weathervane that he think this is only way to avoid getting eaten by the mob

What did Trump do other than promise to bring coal and steel back? Retraining people to work in the manufacturing jobs of the future does not appeal to anyone, and that's probably the only way out for these communities. Why do these voters vote so heavily for a Republican party that explicitly runs on all of the things that would hurt their communities even more?
