One of the things I've learned in the last couple years is that "competence" as an abstract concept doesn't matter nearly as much to a campaign as the commentariat seems to think.

It was the main thing HRC had going for her -- she was seasoned, she was serious, serious people took her seriously, etc. She generated such an aura of competence that a lot of people didn't even care what she wanted to do with it. I heard so many Clinton supporters compare the election to a job interview attempting to find the most "qualified" candidate it was ridiculous.

But once you get outside the primary, which those same people tried super hard to remove policy and ideology from entirely, people care less about how qualified you are to do whatever you want and more about whether the things you want will benefit them. It's not a job interview. We can't count on them to act as we want, like a prospective employee, because the president's orders will not come from us. Otherwise political parties would be completely irrelevant.

Clinton wasn't actually competent at leadership though and the only people who thought she had that aura were people in her cult of personality. Clinton is really, really good at creating personal power networks in an organization. That's what she excels at. She's very competent at trading favors.

They've all fully internalized the logic of bourgeois affectation. They don't get that sharp, pressed suits worn by politicians are a sign that they're out to gently caress you.

Sexism is more insidious and subsurface than racism. We're just now getting around to having words like b---- and c--- being absolute no-go words, while n------ has been at that point for decades. Hell, Antonin Scalia didn't even think the 14th amendment applied to women. For every person that has extremely not racist opinions about affirmative action you'll fine two that have the same type of very serious opinions about feminism.

extremely Putinishly:] Ah but Hillary has been subversive and engaged in the very act of opposing herself as well, therefore she is an agent of Putin as well, singlehandedly giving the election to Donald Trump out of avoidable oversights. Hubris seems quite a convenient spin, da?

I'm starting to think that Russia actually did something really clever. (I consider this marginally more likely than the supposed American Deep State doing something really clever.)

A few rumors here, a few transparent failed 'hacking' attempts there, a few twitterbots and facebook ads over here, and suddenly everyone is accusing everyone else of having been subverted by the Russian Cybermenace and they didn't actually have to do anything much at all.

They done Monsters On Maple Streeted us.
