    And I’m sorry but this just hit me.

    she would have lost outright.

    She would have lost outright…

    She. Would. Have. Lost. Outright.

    Compared to… (check notes) Lossing!?

      An outright loss means she would never have a chance of winning. Taking the much less popular view would not make it more likely for her to win. Did you really need that clarified for you?

        Outright

        So you’re saying you know exactly how greater her loss would have been if she didn’t stand up for human rights? If you know that since outright loss means, never had a chance. So since she didn’t outright loss what did she need to do to get more votes from the right or left?

          2nd definition- instantaneously was that really hard to placein context?

          Do you need someone to explain to you that taking the less popular opinion will not make it more likely for her to win?

              Did you mean first past the post? That’s not as much of a factor as the pro-Israel position was the more popular position and thus more likely to gain votes.

                Popular on the right and center. Not the progressive base. So she would have lost by now votes is your unsubstantiated claim. Okay… So by losing more and would have lost more of the presidency? Are you saying winning by 1 vote or 1 million isn’t the same in our system?
