The 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses were a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select the 4,051 delegates to the Democratic National Convention held July 25–28

... Yes? She mentioned those issues constantly on the stump, and those were easily the issues she was the most passionate and consistent about.

There are many good reasons why Hillary lost, but "not being passionate enough about womens' and childrens' issues" isn't one of them.

Yeah, honestly this was probably the thing Hillary believed in the most.

I just want to add about those mean Hilman posters; the Bernie poo poo posting was bad enough that it contributed to me switching candidates in the primary. Reliving the bile of the primary is the last thing we need for building up the new party.

You just sound a bit retarded tbh. I mean lmao I poo poo on annoying Bernie posters like nobodies business but switching candidates? Pffft.

Clinton posters were just less self-righteous about being assholes. That's all.

Alright, let me clarify. Most of it was sorta milquetoast asshollery. Zoux/fishmech/etc where like in a whole different league unto themselves.

Could be, I tended to ignore the worst Clinton posters just because it was obvious they were totally worthless. So I might have ended up reading more annoying bernie posters my comparison.

Were Bernie posters just way worse outside the Bernie thread than they were in it?

In addition, I don't mean to rehash the primary - especially on this forum - but I've been dying to understand why the Bernie thread moving super fast and having low to no content posts as a majority bothered people that wouldn't have even posted in it.

Eh, its hard to describe really. There was something about the posting that really rubbed me the wrong way and I fuckin voted for Bernie and never considered voting Clinton in the primaries. Maybe it was an expectations game sorta.

Fishmech was one guy who nobody liked. Tatum Girlpants, A Winner is Jew, Zoux, Deteriorata, and pals ran the democratic primary thread and jerked each other off by ganging up on people who liked Bernie, continuously straw manning the worst of Bernie supporters so that they never had to address reasonable criticisms of Hillary. They were by far the worse posters.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about em since they all hung out in the Hillary GE thread. Not surprising it was a sad shadow of the Trump thread. I guess I always kept a low profile and generally never butted head with retards too much.

I do miss defending Hillary and her fuckin weird love of Kissinger in the Hill Primary thread tho. fuckin lol at her insane love of him.

A lot of them just simply disappeared. Sites like Something Awful and the like were known for being hard left in discourse for some time. Then out of no where centrist and establishment Dems began invading during the primaries shouting down everyone who disagreed with them. Then after their ideology and strategy went up in flames they disappeared back to the jungles in the internet where they came.

Mitt Romney possibly being a CTR shill is the most lol thing.

the way he engaged with people was really strange. he'd only come in to link something negative about sanders, or quote someone and state a talking point, and then never respond again.

also the date thing i pointed out lol

he was the only person i actually suspected of astroturfing tho.

Yeah, I always wondered about it during the primary too. Dude always had a link ready it was uncanny.

So, what's the chance the long-term takeaway for Democrats will be "We won the popular vote, stay the course!" instead of "We lost, time to fix poo poo." Seems like plenty of people have been flocking towards this talking point of "Actually, Hillary did win", and it would be heartbreaking if they managed to capture the discourse.

In the end, now that the centrist-wing basically got mega-owned the progressive-wing can just threaten to sit it out. I mean what can you try and whip them with now? A trump presidency? whoops

One thing I still struggle with is why exactly the Clinton campaign poured so much money into advertising in the Los Angeles area, and California in general. While sheer incompetence or kickbacks to friends seem more likely, I can't help but entertain the small possibility that someone in the campaign actually predicted a Trump victory and made a choice to pour ad money into California to run up popular vote totals for a counter-narrative. It seems incredibly unlikely, and why attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity, but attempts to run up the popular vote total are the only logical reason I can think of to spend big money in California.

It was probably bleedover from Nevada, I live in San Diego and we got ads for a couple months at least. Also got some Trump ads near the end there lol.
