Why did Hillary win the popular vote but lose the election?

Did the Democratic Party ignore the white working class?
Did FBI Director Comey's letter have a devastating impact?
Did Russia interfere?
Wikileaks?
The corporate media?
Trump and surrogates offering constant corruption and consistent lies?
30 years of anti-Clinton propganda?
Weak, ineffective Democratic Party leadersip?
Vote hacking, large or small?
Bill Cinton's sexual peccadilloes?
Barack Obama?
Gerrymandering?
Gross, unconstitutional, voter suppression?
Corruption?
Benghazi?
Email sever?
Fantasy over fact?
Drama over reality?
Sensational over our very survival as a species, or planet?
Fossil fuel over climate change?
Jill Stein?
Bernie Sanders?
The desire for change?
Fact restistant bubbles?

Which one of these, or any other thing caused a devastating, world changing loss on November 8, 2016?

Not one. All to some varying levels. The biggest thing to point at is inequity, unfairness, and now that will only get worse. I blame evil. I blame greed. I blame the moneyed and sheltered elite.
