The Popo 01/12/21 9:19:22 PM #24:	Riev posted... Because she's female Sexism is 100% an issue in this country and in politics, but I question the degree that it factored into her losing. She won the popular vote by 5 million+ votes, after all. I think people were tired of legacy presidents (12 years of Bush, and the 8 years of Bill Clinton, followed by two intense presidential bids by Hilary in 2008 & 2016, not to mention another bid from another Bush in 2016), and Trump had a way of suckering people in with his stupid nickname of Crooked Hilary, during a time when her name was in the news a lot during that time for the email controversy. People are stupid and easily swayed by stuff like that. Sexism had to have played some role in her loss, but I dont think it was the factor by any stretch. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:949437305] in Why didn't...

ElatedVenusaur 01/12/21 9:37:32 PM #28:	To expound on one factor: its my understanding Hillary ran an extremely top-down campaign. Nothing was done without the say-so of the Brooklyn-based HQ, which was run mostly by analysis of demographics and polling data(internal and external). They were generally dismissive of outside orgs and even local Dem parties, and insisted on running things themselves. This led to them, for example, ignoring the warnings of local party officials and organizers about Wisconsin, because their data said everything was fine. One of the problems with their approach is that they were, essentially, always seeing the race as it was a week or more ago, rather than where it was in the here and now. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:949437887] in Why didn't...

dameon_reaper 01/12/21 9:43:13 PM #30:	Think of it like this: No one expected Trump and a lot of people didn't realize how terrible it was. After 4 years of it, almost everyone sane realized that it was a huge mistake and the turn out was better. It was less about supporting Biden and more about getting rid of Trump.
