I don't think it's outrageous to suggest that it was irresponsible of the media to uncritically report about "EMAILS!!!" regardless of the actual merits of the claims, the case, and the facts of the investigation.

or Trump's billions of dollars worth of free air time was a factor

I don't think you can ignore how the media affected the result, but since the dems couldn't have done much about it they should look to things they could have done better

People have been saying that Hilary should have focused more on her firewall states but wouldnt a 50 state stategy imply that the messaging would by necessita be more broad and appealing to working class people?

She didn't visit Wisconsin at all, which in hindsight did not help either option.

Doctor Spaceman: Jul 6, 2010; "Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."

it's not quite as simple as people switching to Trump

in Michigan Clinton was 300k down on Obama in 2012., but Trump was only 170k up on Romney. In Wisconsin Clinton was 230k down on Obama, and Trump got within 1000 votes of what Romney got. In Ohio Clinton was 380k down, Trump was 180k up. Similar in Iowa (Clinton down 160k, Trump up 80k)

if people switched from D in 2012 to R in 2016 then a lot of former R voters didn't bother at all (which is a real possibility)

Slamhound posted:

Serious question: Is there any election post-mortem wherein the people who voted for Trump are in any way, at least marginally responsible for Trump winning?

They are responsible, but it's incredibly depressing (and probably wrong) to think that it was an inevitable result and that nothing could have been done better by the Dems.

lol you know how he got a higher % of african-american voters than Romney

yeah, and worse than Bush did in either of his elections

Agreed

and yet 2 weeks ago we were all exchanging lols at the "DJT says 'my african american' to the 1 black dude at his rally" and at the "DJT polling at literally 0%" in detroit

maybe the truth is somewhere 👏in👏the👏middle

that's all completely irrelevant to my point, which was that Trump's message was "things are poo poo and I can fix them, what do you have to lose?" and he was most open with it when he was (nominally) talking to black people

a lot of american coal is really lovely coal too from my recollection, though i am no expert in coal

yeah, I know our (export) coal is pretty high quality which is why it get used a lot in steel production, but I wasn't sure what else was a factor

And why is Christie still on the outs, again? I thought he was promised AG but apparently that's going to Rudy? It can't just be Bridgegate, can it?

Kuschner hates him because Christie prosecuted his father for being massively corrupt (because he was massively corrupt).

They won't be concentration camps, they'll be "immigration processing" camps where they languish for years without legal representation because DHS is conducting "background" checks.

you call them detention centres and you put them on some island away from the mainland (ideally some tiny country you can bully), then you bribe other countries to take them off your hands

trust me, my country knows its poo poo when it comes to this

Did you read the book before watching the movie? I think that made me enjoy it a lot more than I would have otherwise.

ironically the movie changes a few scenes to make alex much less irredeemable and then changes the ending so he isn't redeemed
