Personally I want it to be because Hillary is an establishment shill, and so that's the real reason why she lost.

Suburbs have flags? Do they enforce borders?

My suburb couldn't even agree on whether dogs should be allowed leashless in the park. I think if someone tried to float a flag design some section would rally behind a different flag and eventually things would spiral into a little civil war.

My neighborhood is in a civil war right now because basically flags. It's gang tags and shootings but same thing really.

In my neighborhood gang tags and especially gangs are forbidden by the homeowners association. Maybe you should have thought of that.

In my gated community gang affiliations are codified by the number of family member stickers on the rear windows of our crossovers. Dog and cat stickers count. If you see a 2 adults 3 kids 1 dog slow rolling near the gates in Heritage Harbor, run.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

quote:

Michigan operatives relay stories like one about an older woman in Flint who showed up at a Clinton campaign office, asking for a lawn sign and offering to canvass, being told these were not “scientifically†significant ways of increasing the vote, and leaving, never to return. A crew of building trade workers showed up at another office looking to canvass, but, confused after being told there was no literature to hand out like in most campaigns, also left and never looked back.

[...]

Most importantly, multiple operatives said, the Clinton campaign dismissed what’s known as in-person “persuasion†— no one was knocking on doors trying to drum up support for the Democratic nominee, which also meant no one was hearing directly from voters aside from voters they’d already assumed were likely Clinton voters, no one tracking how feelings about the race and the candidates were evolving. This left no information to check the polling models against — which might have, for example, showed the campaign that some of the white male union members they had expected to be likely Clinton voters actually veering toward Trump — and no early warning system that the race was turning against them in ways that their daily tracking polls weren’t picking up.

[...]

Brooklyn’s theory from the start was that 2016 was going to be a purely base turnout election. Efforts were focused on voter registration and then, in the final weeks, turning out voters identified as Clinton’s, without confirmation that they were.

On the morning of Election Day, internal Clinton campaign numbers had her winning Michigan by 5 points. By 1 p.m., an aide on the ground called headquarters; the voter turnout tracking system they’d built themselves in defiance of orders — Brooklyn had told operatives in the state they didn’t care about those numbers, and specifically told them not to use any resources to get them — showed urban precincts down 25 percent. Maybe they should get worried, the Michigan operatives said.

Nope, they were told. She was going to win by 5. All Brooklyn’s data said so.

In at least one of the war rooms in New York, they’d already started celebratory drinking by the afternoon, according to a person there. Elsewhere, calls quietly went out that day to tell key people to get ready to be asked about joining transition teams.

If the book isn't entitled " How to lose a election" then I will be disappointed because it seems she lost just because of sheer arrogance and egoism which is strange considerin who she was running against.

She lost because she was bought and paid for running against a guy who presented himself as too rich to be bought and paid for.

i had a dream about being in the twin towers on like the 290th floor but i was the one guy who had a parachute that i kept under my desk just in case. so when all the cnn cameras and stuff were filming people jumping, talking about how horrible everything was, and looking at the smoke pouring out of the windows, a guy with a parachute popped into the picture, and on the top of his chute it said "later rubblelords." then afterwards all the national news people wanted to talk to me about how to survive things and be a badass at life, and i went on their shows to give horrible life advice, all of which is prefaced with "if you don't want to die in a smoldering heap of mangled metal and flesh," that scarred millions of children forever.
