    Race and gender had absolutely nothing to do with it. Democrat voters as a whole was trying to tell the party they are tired of old white rich men making decisions for them, she did absolutely nothing to differentiate herself from those old rich white men. Voters by and large said we have a red line and that red line is genocide but she continued anyway. His administration went on day after day after day telling us that the economy is good, we are not struggling when we could see in our day-to-day lives that yes we are struggling. The only message that sends is that they are not listening to us.

    The DNC fucked around and found out

        Because there’s a vast and well supported propaganda ecosystem on the right keeping their enthusiasm for kicking the shit outta the queers up.

        Elections are won by getting your voters excited to vote for you. Republicans did, Democrats didn’t.

        Democrats have told voters for generations there are only 2 choices to vote for. They exercised another right, abstain. If the party thought trump was a serious threat they would have primaried the senile guy that refused to step down

          They exercised another right, abstain.

          They should have voted and left the Presidential race empty on their ballots. All those down-ballotnstate and local races could have really made an impact. And strategists only care about the policy issues of likely voters.

        Look. Everyone knows that there is nothing that Old White Rich Men want more than to elect a brown woman of asian descent. They HATE IT when you instead elect an Old White Rich (But Not Really) Man instead.

        Fight the power!!!
