In reply to the discussion: Why Hillary Lost: An Exhaustive Look [View all]still_one
(96,530 posts)Let's also ignore the fact that 11 day before the election Comey released a letter to the republicans in Congress where MSNBC was the first to incorrectly report as "Breaking News", that the FBI had reopened the email investigation, and then for the next hour paraded every right wing politician across their screen to propagate the LIE, with other networks soon following suit
Let's also examine those self-identified progressives who refused to vote for Hillary by either voting third party or not voting.
Let's also observe that in Michigan Hillary lost by .3%, and Jill Stein received 1.1% of the vote. Similar results in the other swing states.
Let's also observe that every Democrat running for Senate in those critical swing states, lost to the establishment, republican, incumbent.
and in spite of the media's double standard coverage, misinformation, and falsehoods, Hillary still won the popular vote by more than 3 million.
