Venom Snake posted:Another Trademark Venom Snake Hot Take is that Hillary should have doubled down and acted like a huge rear end in a top hat. She was at the height of her popularity when she was blowing up people in Libya and laughing at bengazhi panels. Nobody likes a nice grandma. I agree people want assholes

I liked when a reporter asked her about Schumer's opposition to the Iran Deal and she gave a fake rear end smile and walked away

SKULL.GIF posted:The "basket of deplorables" comment probably was a critical hit to her from both sides like you describe, too. It is never a good idea to attack voters. The dumb thing was we got a candidate who couldn't exploit that angle because they themselves would be under the same scrutiny. It's kind of those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones thing for Hillary. She's too entrenched in the upper echelons to be immune from blowback on that angle.

zegermans posted:well, here's a good substantive one Reducing your opposition's power is a win in most books, and there's likely to be another election next year for them for even more seats to win. Unlike some khaleesi that will remain unnamed who funneled DNC money into her spectacular loss. Thank god many Dems are going with Bernie in the direction of progress with DSA and Our Rev (and other movements) that are doing the right thing.

zegermans posted:dunno seems like Bernie had the chance to win and didnt Lets put it a different way: Unknown old socialist from Vermont comes out from his cave and contests a primary against the 'most qualified' candidate ever. Bernie Sanders doing so well against Hillary Clinton was a huge win for the movement. His 'chance' shouldn't have been as successful at being an opponent, but it was very successful despite his stumblings. By all metrics he shouldn't have even come close to contesting Hillary. Turns out Hillary... is bad!

its still bernies fault for not trying to appeal to people sooner. he was a nobody and that was his fault. it was likely the single largest problem he had during the campaign besides having a doofus run it early (but that was almost certainly because he had no money and no perceived chance).

Getting some vintage zegermans up here in this zone this afternoon~~~ Zeg, there's more to British elections than who ends up as prime minister, and taking away the Tories' outright majority when the reason they held the election at all was to increase it was a victory. Bernie's primary campaign was not a victory obv because it had exactly one goal, to get him the nomination, and it did not achieve that. But that is not relevant to the question of the British election.
