Naomi Klein: Neoliberalism is to blame ...

[LenaBaby61]

66. IMHO, NO Dem or Independent ...

Could have beaten a GOP that had the voter disenfranchisement/voter suppression train rolling along as it's had. Those 800 polling stations would have been closed down in North Carolina for ANY Dem/Indy, not just for Hillary Clinton. You had cross-checking & major purging from voter rolls going on in several key states done by the GOP. That would have affected ANY Dem or Indy running. You had a surge in racism, sexism and pure ignorance in understanding what tRump was about as a candidate, that crawled out from under their rock to vote. Did those folks who took a chance to vote for tRumputin NOT hear him saying that he thought the federal minimum-wage was too high @ $7.25 or that maybe we should just eliminate it all together? That Obamacare needed to be done away with in total and replaced with--well, tRumputin never said with what, nor has the GOP and now in increasing numbers, those who voted for him in states like WV and KY are scared to death that tRumputin and the GOP will take away their health care, Medicare and privatize their Social Security. I mean, voting in ones own worst interest (Like many seniors did) is fine if that's what they wanted for themselves, but their vote will affect the rest of us who knew better--we'll have to suffer right along with them. I don't see ANY Dem or Indy who could have beaten the "putin machine/interference," or the propaganda and fake news that was out there everywhere that too many low-info voters believed.

I didn't mention the media (Who GAVE tRumputin $2 billion in free air time), because most in the media no longer care about truth or fact checking. I don't remember which media person said it, but he/she said something to the effect that they couldn't/didn't bother checking to see if what tRumputin was saying was true or not, because there's WAY too much to check. Wow. Most in the press/media especially are more interested in ratings numbers and ad dollars from people watching the product they're selling (Moonves said tRumputin may be bad for the country but he's great for CBS's ratings, or something of that nature). Most in the "media" are falling in line with the media caste system and behind their president, Donald tRumputin Trump, because they don't want to endure his tweeting rampages, or his wrath against them. NO Dem or Indy has ever faced what Hillary Clinton has ever faced.
