until Biden, Hilary Clinton won more votes than anyone else in US presidential election history.
She didn't lose because barely a percentage point of votes went 3rd party.
She didn't lose because too many people "got lazy and didn't vote for her"
She lost because she lost the electoral college. She lost because she didn't even try to appeal to entire states worths of people she felt she was owed simply by those people living in "safe Blue states" or because she thought fear of Trump was enough to get people to vote for her.
She lost because despite the democrats deciding to portray her as the safe nominee, she had over the course of Obama's presidency become one of the least trusted and most hated women in the government . She lost because her party torpedoed the campaigns of far more strategic and better candidates because they were too progressive and she had seniority.
She lost because she was never a strategic candidate until they forced her to be the only option and thus the lesser evil.
She lost because no one, not her, not her canvassers, not even her own campaign could come up with an answer other than "but Trump!" To the question far too many voters had "Hilary Clinton is directly responsible for killing many members of my family, and she has said she will mostly continue the policies that killed them, can I really trust her not to kill us more?"
She lost because this country was and is FAR more racist than people want to admit
#us politics#hilary clinton#Running a woman who was instrumental in some of the most unpopular and tyrannical policies and some of the worst crimes the US committed#Was not a very good strategy turns out#racism#joe biden#Trying to minimize the Clinton's many crimes and controversies as a roundabout way to try supporting Biden is also a really dumb idea#Literally all evidence points to the most strategic decision being Biden not being a genocidal fuckwit and instead of wanting him to stop#People want people against his shit to stop criticizing their god Democrat president and make open genocide an acceptable part of US policy#They'd rather call people faced with the horrible unwinnable choice to 2 guys who'd kill them fascists racists instead of the actual racist#Their idea of fighting racism is calling every non white person who dares criticize Dems foreign agents#Meanwhile the racist fascists in their own family are just the annoying relative who shows up to Thanksgiving buzzed and thus are fine
