that's true, but hillary would probably still have lost a popular vote election against trump b/c she's that bad of a politician

The next level beyond people who use the greengrocer's apostrophe is people who think an apostrophe means "look out, here comes an s!"

The actual best part of that dumb saga is the idiots like Marcus Johnson who had been using the term trying to make it a thing promptly reversing course after Trump used it, claiming they were the alt-left, and that the people they had been calling alt-left up until that point were actually centrists (because horseshoe theory :downs:)

I will never disagree with this and it's why it's not something that I've given lots of thought to, but it's absolutely fuckin' crazy when you just let it dwell in your mind for a while that no only is it possible that the loser can have millions more votes, but that it's happened twice in the past few elections. It's mostly gerrymandering, districts are supposed to be representative and they've been meticulously crafted to give the republicans an advantage. But it's WILD that the loser not only can, but has, gotten not only just more votes, but millions more and isn't elected.

uh just always keep in mind that people change their voting strategy (which includes just not voting) when they know they're not in a battleground state

you can't really say someone lost or won a popular vote when there was no popular vote to begin with and when campaigns would change their strategy in reaction to it

While serving as DNC vice-chair in January 2016, Ms Brazile forwarded to Clinton's staff an email revealing the Sanders camp's plan to court African-American voters.

I think it also shows how these people entirely treat politics as a parlor game for the "right people". While there is an element of race involved here, more then anything politics is suppose to be about a style of acting, and because Cortez doesn't act correct, not to mention she talks about issues that no "self respecting" politician does she is therefore bad.
