"Clinton’s advisers have explained to the stunned candidate that she lost the race of her life in large part due to Comey’s October Surprise — they said their plan of winning college-educated white voters and turning out record levels of Latinos was working until Republican-leaning supporters shifted back to Trump in the wake of Comey’s bombshell letter, 11 days before the election, and the necessary enthusiasm among Latinos and African-Americans could not hold. By the time he released his clearance letter on the Sunday before the election, it was too late to re-energize voters."

lmao, do everything you can to dodge consequences and responsibility

eh there's reporting that the Trump camp saw it the same way

this is a late-rear end reply for the pace of this subforum but gently caress it :justpost:

trump camp wasnt' the one who completely ignored what should have been a core component of the democratic base during the campaign

or hell for the last decade or more

this campaign wasn't lost with one event, even a goddamn letter from the FBI chief

it was lost because apparently bill clinton (and maybe obama?) are the only two people in the upper DNC who wanna burn shoe leather to save a working class voter's job

and bill was told to sit down and shut up

she needed like 100k votes

plenty of things that she did do or didn't do that cost her that margin

comey letter seems to be one of them

and no comey letter + clinton victory and we're having a much different conversation today

she lost 10m votes from obama 2008, and what? something like 6m from obama 2012

those votes didn't go away because of a goddamn letter

"Comey letter" is an pathetic excuse to ignore significant tactical and strategic errors in the campaign, and the DNC's operation at large

Watching the GOP going "... gently caress. This is... how DO WE CHANGE THIS?" in regards to the ACA is making me happy though.

pretty sure a few of them have already figured out the solution to their immediate problem:

jan 20th they're going to pass a timebomb bill that kills it in 2 years with the plan to work out a replacement in the mean time

if it looks like they'll keep control of congress in 2020 2018 they'll pass the replacement law, who knows what that looks like between some of them wanting to go full granny murder, some wanting hsa+block grants, while others will smell that sweet lobbyist money and try to keep the mandate

if it looks like they'll lose control of congress they'll just let it die and leave democrats holding the (empty) bag

I am having serious difficulty accepting this world where objective verifiable truth no longer matters. I'm basically having a panic attack over it with pounding heart and left eyelid twitching.

He can just lie and if called on it he can just keep telling the same lie. No one can stop him and a lot of people will believe him.

I mean spin is one thing. Massaging the data. But voiding facts?

What if bad things start to happen to journalists? What if no one cares. Would they even hear about it? Half of people don't believe in media in the first place.

How can I find common ground with someone who doesn't accept the very concept of verifiable fact? :psyduck: They are, for all intents and purposes living in a different reality.

an important thing to remember is that we only recently rounded the corner on this, but we had been heading towards it for a long time

the narrative-based paradigm of reality was something that had been bearing down on us ever since fox news realized they could lie on air: as long as it was in service to people on the republican team, or the republican brand as a whole; then it was okay to lie, they were allowed to do that

unfortunately while they were learning to make swords out of their lies, and to sharpen them, we were busy playing with ourselves over the idea of a world so tolerant you could tell someone your gender was "urinal ghost" and they would nod respectfully

you've been living in this world for years, it's time to learn to adapt to it

tell a few lies tomorrow

I mean, does trump probably seriously absolutely want to do sex with his daughter? I mean, we could look at it objectively like a nerdlinger, or we could look at it like a narrativist and say:

hell yes he wants to gently caress him daughter, look at that bird statue they got a picture next to

But seriously though, what happens when Trump publicly threatens to fight some foreign leader forever on something, and then quietly capitulates later, like he just did with Trump U, like he has always done? I don't know where to look for previous examples of that.

nothing will happen over any spat with any foreign leader because trump will be in the honeymoon phase for his active/overt supporters, and the protest voters who voted for him won't give a poo poo as long as their personal life doesn't get worse, and even after that honeymoon phase ends no one will care if their individual existence isn't altered

as soon as things start getting worse for the working class and rural americans their tune will start to change, and god help trump if he fucks up the economy enough to drop the value of houses to the point that all the professionals in suburbia start to feel it

he'll always have hardcore and unbreakable supporters, but 2006/2008 were real bad years for republicans and even the high-octane reality distortion of modern fakenews won't be able to compete

it doesn't matter how much you tell someone things are good overall, if their situation is getting worse

what will be the "WORST" thing to happen w/ Trump? Even in the nothing-matters, post-fact world, there will be at least one or two things in 4 years that stick.

i.e. invades Iran on sloppy pretense, directly causes an economic crash, blurts out an ethnic slur on a hot mic, etc.

ugly meltdown at white house correspondents dinner when no one laughs at his vindictive jokes

ditches his press pool so many times they stop following him, then he goes on twitter and threatens to have them killed if they don't start chasing after him again

I, like her father, often forget she even exists. What does she do? Does she have a company, is she married to anyone of note? If she's found some fuckin life hack to coast by taking her family wealth without ever getting involved in their madness can we make her the fuckin president instead?

she was trump's kid with marla maples so she probably has some kind of payment deal that was negotiated in the divorce, but details of that aren't public record so who knows

i mean she's still technically in a dogshit position because she's trump's kid, so like if trump becomes god-emperor she's his hated child, not good

if trump becomes a historical laughing stock and self-exiles himself to russia in shame, she's still, like, trump's kid which is not good
