Hillary got destroyed in almost the same states that Bernie destroyed her in the primaries like Wisconsin, Michigan, etc, so yeah, pretty much.

T.S. Smelliot posted:Heh, you're a racist sexist bigot if you don't vote for the candidate we decided to do you the favor of selecting, scum. Man I loving detest the uneducated poor, especially whites because we can't use them to advance our agenda or call people racist for not voting for us. *loses catastrophically on election day* Actually, Hillary lost because she ran a mediocre campaign, the Voting Rights Act dismantling killed voting for poor minorities in key states, and oh yeah, white people suck.

Ron Darling posted:The factors of Hillary's defeat were numerous, and starting with her, but Sanders seems to think that as long as you have economic equality everything else will magically fall into place and we'll turn into this rainbow land of unicorns and dreams and lol that will never happen without first dealing with the very real structural and systemic racist issues that are ingrained within the American fabric The whole crux of Bernie's economic inequality argument is that racism, classism, and social inequality are always going to be ingrained into society, so why not repair the issues with our economy, health care system, social safety net, education, and overall quality of life? Then maybe we can start confronting the very real problems we have with systematic racism when it's much easier for all people to have a decent life despite those issues. It's certainly not some perfect utopian ideal, but it's a very good concept that many people were very interested in.

a bone to pick posted:*Jill Stein says she has several problems with the FDA but agrees that vaccines have enormous health benefits* It's like the total dang idiots who say "I understand the overwhelming health benefits of vaccines, but I don't trust my doctor's vaccine schedule." Doubting the efficacy of vaccines is identical anti-science bullshit as denying them period.
