2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I am of the opinion that Clinton ran a solid campaign. [View all]
She contrasted the stark differences between herself and Trump. She had detailed progressive policies that resonated with people such as myself and had excellent one-liners for those with the attention span of a gnat. She put forward a progressive message and destroyed her opponent with shots(contrary to popular belief, Clinton was the more popular one).
This is, without a doubt, the fault of the people of this country.
Trump publicly asked Russia for help during his campaign. The writing was on the wall. He put his hate on display for all to see. He refused to release his tax returns and will go down as one of the least transparent people to ever win the modern Presidency.
As rights and support for those who need protections most are eroded, there will be no secret as to what happened. The American people showed up in enough numbers to elect Trump.
The current state of society in this country is what is wrong. It's like we are sick. It really wasn't the Clinton campaign. Claiming it was is an extremely simplistic view.
(Clintons campaign was not flawless and you don't see that promoted in this op. Just cutting that one off at the pass.)
