(70 posts)To think that Johnson the dunce and Tofu Palin are going to cost us fifty years of progress is beyond sickening.
I would rather have gotten blown out than to lose like this.

(3,814 posts)just wish they would join the alt-right in the GOP and get it over with, then they can spend all of their time focusing on white populism, no more pesky PoC/women/gays/guns etc to worry about.

(50,254 posts)The things Trump attacked HRC about would have been just as potent if Bernie hadn't run.
We weren't to blame for the emails and we weren't to blame for the administration refusing to let HRC put a "No TPP" pledge in the platform.
Nor were we to blame for the Clinton-Kaine campaign not having enough canvassers in WI, MI, and PA(as the campaign organizations in those states kept saying to the national HQ, when they begged for more resources and were repeatedly refused).

(1,643 posts)How can the votes less than 80,000 carry more weight than over 2.5 million? I know...the stupid Electoral College. But I don't think we've EVER had a situation like this...that the "winner" loses by more than 2% and visa versa the "loser" has more than 2.5 million votes.
Absurd...absurd...

(2,829 posts)I guess they decided to start fixing their counts before they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
I wonder if they would have "found" those extra votes for Hillary if there wasn't a recount/audit pending

(1,643 posts)Anyone from WI or PA that can give us an accurate update?
