5. The media deserves a lot of the blame for this one.

The media wants to make every election a close horse race for views and clicks so they had to amplify Clinton's supposed negatives to match Trump's. That is how you heard about the dumb e-mail "scandal" as much as or even more than Trump's misogyny or his stiffing contractors and other problems.

17. I just don't get the obsession on DU with Ms. Sarandon .

Of course she erred badly, as did some others, but that had
very little to do with the outcome of the election.

THIS (below) is why Ms. Clinton lost, and DU should be spending time
and effort on how to deal with it in 2018 and beyond . .

23. Why are you telling me?

I NEVER said that, nor anyone with half a brain here. Go seek out the offenders and stop ragging on your friends.

We are already angry with the mess, and don't deserve generalized complaints. Muhammad Ali said "the first thing I do to unnerve an opponent is to get them angry". (paraphrased)

Anger is like starting fluid. one squirt can start an engine, but it won't power it for more than a second.

27. Because we have to "Send them a message".

That's why "A vote for Anderson is a vote for Nader is a vote for Stein which is a vote for Reagan is a vote for Bush is a vote for Trump." Do you still think "There is no difference?" Between Carter and Reagan, Bush and Gore, Clinton and Trump?

If you do, you are a fool.

33. And what is accomplished by filling this site with such messages?

If there are lurkers who STILL think there's no difference, this won't change their minds.

If there are those who know better now and lurk anyway, then 1) they know better now, and 2) they're not going to come out and apologize.

Meanwhile, we all have to waste our time on these rants.
