    It was a bad decision to even put her up as a candidate. She had been demonized by the right for years prior to the election. They literally polarized the entire right to vote against her.

      That’s completely irrelevant, they demonize every Dem. It was a bad decision to put her up as a candidate because she’s a giant asshole and not a talented enough liar to cover it up.

        Exactly. Trump didn’t win by courting centrists. He energized entirely new voters (albeit with racism).

        Democrats insist that perpetually leaning further into corporatism and imperialism and abandoning marginalized groups like trans people and immigrants will win the “likely voters”.

        A real winning strategy would be to have policies that actually inspire people and turn out new voters.

        That would assume they actually want what they say they want though, instead of being controlled opposition.

      They demonize zorhan as well, the problem is Clinton (like 95% of the republicans) simply believes whatever her donors tell her.
