(1,353 posts)polling stations, wouldn't let them be registered, or forced provisional ballots that may or may not have gotten counted, and then made the counting machines not work properly in such a way that they couldn't be recounted?
Weird how voters were so apathetic, but showed up in historic numbers despite all of this and still gave the candidate 3 million more votes than her competition, earning her the most votes of any candidate other than Obama.
You seem to have embraced this odd notion of "voter apathy" despite hard, concrete proof that there was no such apathy, and you reject the hard, concrete proof of voter suppression, including what happened in WI, so you can continue to hold on to false beliefs and fake news, and parrot the same lines that the Dumpster fire keeps using, but there was plenty of economic message there, actual policies, for those who had the eyes to see, the brains the process and the ability to actually "see" what was in front of their faces and coming out of the mouths of the candidate herself and ALL of her surrogates.
When one's "identity politics" causes one to blind themselves to reality, hard and concrete proof and facts, it's unfair to blame anything other than the willfully ignorant voter (or non voter) and their fixation on denying their failure to reject their identity politics, which many white voters failed to do, and embrace policies and economic messages that were very much in evidence to those not so blinded or stupefied by simple facts.
