A heart filled fuck you

[apcalc]

To those who voted 3rd party ( or didn’t vote) in 2016. It mattered.

She was right about everything.

It is still playing out, but imo, the greatest tragedy to ever befall our country was the installation of the Slobfather.

Yup, I’m pissed.

[Thunderbeast]

1. Ditto to 2000 Nader voters

This whole shitstorm is on YOU!

Sometimes, democracy demands you vote as adults...not children believing in fairy tales.

[apcalc]

3. +100

[electric_blue68]

9. +200

[mzmolly]

11. YEP!

Some of us told you so.

[dixiechiken1]

15. +1000

[Hekate]

27. +2000

[paleotn]

33. Amen!!! Absolutely!!!

The beginning of all this mess. 97K idiots in Florida voted for Nader. Gore lost Florida by 537 votes. If only 1/4 of them voted for Gore and the other 75% stayed home pouting, Gore would have won Florida easily. Only 1% of Nader voters would have pushed Gore well over Bush. It was insanity.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Indeed! nt

[getagrip_already]

4. and they have the nerve to say she ran a bad campaign....

Lets not forget the house hearings, the senate hearings, the fbi press conferences detailing investigations that went nowhere, and wikileaks dumping edited documents on a weekly basis.

It wasn't just a drip/drip process working against her; it was BANG-BANG-BOOM process working against her from all branches of gov't.

Then there was the media and the faux crisi of the week.

She wasn't a bad candidate, and it was a well run campaign. Name one dem pol that would have stood up better. Certainly not bernie.

[apcalc]

6. You said it! Agree 100%!

[Hekate]

28. And she still won the popular vote

[mcar]

5. I will die being pissed about this

[apcalc]

7. Damn right!

[Chautauquas]

8. Me too

No doubt about it.

[GoCubsGo]

17. Welcome to the club!

You have lots of company on this.

[Paladin]

19. As will I.

And I will never forget nor forgive the insults directed at me by the anti-Hillary forces, here at DU. Goddamn them to hell for the stunning amount of damage they did to this country.

[mzmolly]

10. .. and to those who voted in 2000

for Nader. Life time appointments to the supreme court, matter for generations.

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yes, that is a huge part of why we are where we are now.

Although, I also blame those who installed Reagan, who was responsible for tipping that particular Supreme Court to the point where it corruptly handed that election over to the loser. Had they allowed the Florida count to continue, Gore would have won--as every version of the recount showed he did.

[mzmolly]

22. True.

[Baked Potato]

12. I'm not burdened with guilt from my voting past.

Ever since my first vote for Jimmy Carter, a good and honest Democrat, I have voted Democratic.

Not usually for any particular agenda or policy other than I knew deep down that Republicans were dangerously phony-baloney and I would never fit into any of their hateful and regressive cliques.

I’m pissed too.

[demigoddess]

13. I always vote dem especially women dems.

[Traildogbob]

20. Beware

Of the Senema’s and Tulsi’s. Some are plants in Dem clothing.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. am now pernamantly lo level angry. have to watch my ticker though.

[Lil Liberal Laura]

16. From May, 2017

Maher also briefly referenced the 2016 Purity Police last night.

[treestar]

23. he can be an ass, but that one was spot on

and stood the test of time!

[Hekate]

29. That's amazing, and I don't even like Bil Maher

[apcalc]

32. I'm not a Maher fan either, but he was spot on here.

[treestar]

21. it could have been Hillary picking that last 3 justices

[leftieNanner]

24. Obama should have had the Gorsuch seat

In fact, he DID have it - Garland should be there now.

Then there are the shenanigans involved with the Kennedy "retirement".

Oh, lordy. This is awful.

Go see the Elvis movie. It will take your mind off this crap for a few hours. It's wonderful!

[panader0]

25. I'm not sure if Kennedy would have retired if Hillary was elected.

I believe there was some dirt on Kennedy's son, who was a loan exec with Deutches Bank,
and had had dealings with tfg. Kennedy was persuaded that if he retired, there be no investigation
into his son.

[treestar]

26. yes, though even 2

could have helped. 5-4 rather than 6-3, plus Kennedy may not have voted to overturn Roe.

[Demsrule86]

30. That is an excuse...we would be way better off then today.

[panader0]

31. An excuse for what? Of course we would be way better off than today.

I'm merely stating my opinion about why Kennedy retired early and quickly. I don't believe
that HRC would have used that kind of tactic on Kennedy.

[JanMichael]

34. Do you mean people that voted for Stein and Gary Johnson?

Hillary Clinton did great Nationwide. She won. Sadly the electoral college nullified that.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/how-third-party-voters-influenced-election-2016-1479127224

But it is a lame argument to say that Stein AND Gary Johnson lost her the EC.

Very few scenarios had Hillary winning those old blue line rust belt states that swung towards Trump in 2016. Scenarios meaning every Stein voter would have had to vote for her and a huge percentage of Johnson voters would too. That just wasn't going to happen.

And I voted for Hillary Clinton. I also vote for her in the primary. I cried when she lost. But Jill Stein and Gary Johnson did not lose her those electrical college stakes that swung that should not have ever swung.

[W_HAMILTON]

35. "No single raindrop thinks it's responsible for the flood."

It was a torrent of bullshit against Hillary from ALL sides and it was just enough to cause her to lose by less than 100k votes spread across three states. Yes, Jill Stein mattered. Yes, the Russian propaganda trolls that self-proclaimed """progressives""" were amplifying on social media mattered. Yes, Comey mattered. It all fucking mattered, and none of it would have made a difference had people that claim they are for progressive/liberal ideals simply turned out and fucking voted for Hillary.

[apcalc]

36. https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/michigan/

Stein to Clinton….she would have won

[JanMichael]

37. That was the closest but winning Michigan doesn't win the EC.

[apcalc]

38. https://www.politico.com/2016-election/results/map/president/wisconsin/

Stein to Clinton…. She wins Wisconsin

[Hassler]

39. Susan Saranwrap must be thrilled by this decision.

[Skittles]

40. I will never stop saying FUCK YOU to those who voted 3rd party or didn't vote

FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU

*NOTE - FUCK YOU to repuke voters goes without saying.....

[apcalc]

41. Damn right!
