Hillary's underlying message\assumption was "Hello adult kids and parents of adult kids, remember how wack neato stupid the mid to late 90s were? Well, let's all pretend it's still like that, and vote accordingly! Catch you on the flippity flop, my fellow matrix heads!"

Her stated message was an unbroken hum, like the kind a compressor on a refrigerator makes.

Judging from this thread it seems her campaign messaging was a little muddled. Hopefully be 2020 she will figure that out, and will be able to defeat Trump once and for all.

By 2020 her message will be "I have potable water and will share that potable water with your children if you call me Boss Hill."

HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN: Hey, idiots, you feel stupid yet, stupids? Well we're givin' you another chance.

They're really missing their opportunity to appeal to millennial nostalgia if they don't have a big ad that's a shot for shot remake of the Tales From The Crypt opening but at the end, instead of the Cryptkeeper, it's 73 year old Hillary just having a hell of a time.

Hillary Clinton lost to a guy who literally tells children that he's going to gently caress them and bought a modeling show for underaged children so he could walk into their dressing rooms and see them naked.

If Reich is to be believed then even the most milquetoast left-liberal or populist critiques of the economy and its role in Trump's victory are not just dismissed by the Democratic party's elites but in fact are such alien and bizarre concepts that they elicit reactions of mute incomprehension.

I can buy it, considering the liberals on my Facebook are currently waging an epic battle with no one, since they've purged their feeds of ornery relatives post trump, over homophobia vis a vis Beauty & the Beast. It's the only "political" thing I've seen anyone talk about there in at least a week. An elected official is only going to care about what they can't get away with ignoring because their constituency won't let them, so in this case television and movies.

I honestly don't understand why the Drumpf meme had such a weird backlash.

Trump is bad. John Oliver got people to call him a funny name for a week and moved on.

I was mildly annoyed because a lot of my family are German and I really don't want the first time a German American gets to run the country since, like, what, Eisenhower, to end with him going fash and maybe bombing stuff. Like, whenever America thinks of us now they think "smug fastidious sex pervert" or "sleepy town that I fled from that is full of laid off dock workers, bowling alley rapists and lovely sons of used car dealership owners" or "the boring Protestant family down the road that digs holes for some reason"; Drumpf could connect it to "nazinazinazinazinazinazi".

Easily one of the most baffling and tone deaf campaign slogans in history. It takes a special type of arrogance when the guys running to the left AND right of you can't stop talking about how the American worker is getting screwed, and your response is "excuse me, but AMERICA is doing pretty well thank you very much." :smug: Granted, Hillary lacked the firmware to feign empathy with those former factory workers concerned about how to support their family. But you'd think someone on the campaign staff would have stopped to wonder why Trump, who ran his campaign like he was trying to lose, had such a fervent base of support among lower income Americans. Could it be that Trump took a page from Democratic politicians of the past and actually vocalized their concerns about economic insecurity?

Nah, the people in Rust Belt states who supported Obama in 2008/2012 probably just got super racist in 2016.

It's not a slogan, it's a comeback a random democrat pundit would make on Real Time when a republican counterpart said Trumps slogan. The republican would be silenced by the audience freaking out because the applause sign told them to. Hillarys campaigns big mistake was thinking the voting booths have the same kind of electric signs in them & herd stress that tell the hoi polloi how to react. You communicate with people exclusively in one sided, controlled and shaped venues your whole career as a public servant and, whoa, what, you end up not knowing what they're really like?!?!?!

Well, the cops would run them over with APCs first, maybe go shoot some of their families while performing illegal searches of their homes for evidence of terrorist organizations, then the regulations, then we'd talk about how bad it was and how this was going to being the big moment when people wake up, then the public would forget about it.

Then a little while later "Hey, what if WE tried getting MORE guns?"

What's with this need to have losers concede quickly?

I get that we need peaceful transition of power. But is the world really going to burn if a politician says something like, "Every vote matters. I'm not going to concede until the states finish counting all the votes?"

It makes them look more stately. American politicians have (up until now, I have no clue what's going on now) valued prim decorum over their constituency.
