When an election turns on as few votes as 2016 it may well be true that Jill Stein's extra 1%, or a relatively small percent (compared to the % of disgruntled PUMAS who abandoned GOT POTUS Barack Obama in 2008) of Sanders supporters who didn't vote with us, or Russian propaganda which wouldn't have fooled anyone other than the feeble, or Wayne County voters who wanted a better reason than a sermon, or Comey that pushed Trump over the edge.
BUT it wasn't them that pushed that election from what would have been a slaughter if Obama were running right up to the edge.
If only someone, someone, on our side understood that 3 million votes in California weren't worth 60000 votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsyvania and acted like it.
