2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)In this election there was no ambiguity where trump stood or what the republican agenda was [View all]
The issues were NEVER more clear.
Everyone knew the Supreme Court was at stake. Everyone knew the candidates position on civil rights, women's rights, the environment, etc.
There WASN'T A GREY ZONE.
Those such as Jill Stein or any self-identified progressive who refused to vote for Hillary in the general election ARE RESPONSIBLE for trump, and they deserve FULL credit for this bullshit. It is in the numbers.
In Michigan Hillary lost by .3%. Jill Stein received 1.1% of the vote.
Wisconsin, and other critical states a similar result.
Let that just sink in.
You can talk all you want about 2018 or 2020, but the facts are the results of this election represent a generational event, and those self-identified progressives who refused to vote for Hillary have just F**KED it for a hell of a lot of people, for a hell of a long time.
