      No, this is the voter she pissed off Dem voters for…

      It didn’t work out well if you’ve already forgotten.

      If someone says trump is Hitler but they voted for him anyways…

      Then he was already going to vote for trump, and chasing his vote just led to losing traditional Dem voters with literally no gain.

      Moving to the right is political suicide, yet we keep doing it because that’s how you max donations. And that’s all the people running the party care about.

        Not sure why you said “no”, since you’re making the same point I was. This is who the party asked her to sway, and now the party is blaming her for not working hard enough to win the votes of complete fucking morons.

        I could have told you that ignoring these morons and running a campaign focused on the working class, social justice, and economic fairness would have gone 1000% farther than trying to win over fence-sitters during the most divided election in U.S. history. Not sure why the Democrats ignored this, I assume they have at least one competent advisor that said this…

          I think I interpreted it the same way the original commenter did, but I see now we’re all on the same page.

          Maybe instead of saying she was “supposed to” it would be more clear you meant her campaign was “trying to”.

        Well if the right are the only ones who constantly vote then yes they well change their views. Doesn’t matter if 2/3 of the country are Democrats if they can’t be bothered to get off their asses and vote.

          Yeah, the people running the party didn’t see that they lost the left wing vote, they only care about who voted and not for them.
