Current Events > Why Hillary Clinton lost.

(+) Yeah! (+)

She was a smug, entitled, unlikeable grandma who ran a terrible campaign where she just assumed she would win.

It was really a perfect storm that led to her losing.

But if I had to pick one thing that really fucked her, it was Comey reopening the investigation

Cool.

Imagine still but Hillary!-ing

"If you work in the coal industry, I'm gonna lay you off! Right, Tim?"

There are more reasons than we could all list if we tried. The people did not want another Clinton vs Bush runoff.

She literally won't go away. Two years after losing, she's STILL complaining.

Because she lost a political race, she should suddenly drop off the face of the planet?

Deflect more, friend-o

If she can complain about losing for two years, I can discuss why she lost.

She's a sore loser, and she has no one to blame for her loss but herself.

Some people are still listening to her. There are still some people who care about what she has to say. The election was a massive thing. For people to expect her to never speak about it, or to never speak about current politics despite her having been a politician for years and years, is just silly.

Did people complain about McCain daring to show his face after Obama became president?

She chose a bad time to run. Anybody stands a better chance to win when the opposing party is in power. Her best campaign was to say that she would continue obamas campaign, so that pretty much sealed the deal for everybody who didnt like the way he did things.

That put her at a disadvantage. The methods used to ensure her victory in the primary divided the party and many people did not want her as their partys candidate; despite the poll numbers, Bernie Sanders had more enthusiastic support and more supporters.

Anthony Weiner didnt help, but he really didnt do any more harm than she did to herself. Her campaign managers ran a bad campaign, but she oversaw it. Taking so much money from private donors essentially pledged to sell off power of the executive branch to the highest bidder, just as everybody else has done recently (except President Trump).

The democratic constituents constantly said, throughout obamas term, when is he going to legalize weed? Why is weed still illegal?

It was because he took money from the pharmaceutical industry. Most people know they are responsible for keeping it illegal, but they dont mind essentially voting their CEOs into power. People woke up and saw that.

Her last name played into it, as well. The people are sick and tired of the Bush/Clinton dynasties and the way that they disagree and squabble, but always give us the same thing: mediocrity, at best.

Democrats have sworn for decades to make a better life for the African American community, but what have they really done? They have not been making good on their campaign promises and they began to lose support of People of Color and Hispanic Americans. They also lost support from MANY of the LGBT community.
