Easy for you to say, coming from the cushy liberal confines of California. But these Rust Belt people have experienced financial hardship, unemployment, closing of factories, corruption, etc. AND, Clinton BARELY covered them; she spent more time in purple states like Nevada and Arizona than in Ohio or Michigan. She sent a message: "I don't care about you." BILL Clinton, a guy who WON (twice) as a populist candidate from the South, WARNED the DNC about their neglecting these areas of the country, but they told Bill to fuck off.Originally Posted by Jinsai
Ultimately, the DNC and voters who didn't bother voting are why we have Trump.
Obama AND the new Democratic Senator of Alabama were elected by black women.
Present an ELECTABLE option and ... there ya go.
Clinton lost due to her placing her focus on two incorrect areas: She's a woman, and Trump's an asshole.
So she ignored all of the ways she could help people in need or without jobs or without healthcare, etc.
We have to stop pointing at the Cheetoh in office as something we have to get rid of, and see, instead, how we got to this point and how to avoid it.
Bernie Sanders should have run as an Independent. But, he still wasn't likely to get the minority vote like an Obama.
