(1,901 posts)Razo thin loss due to people not voting, people who still claim that Hillary was the same as Trump, people that keep repeating this lie they were fed that the DNC somehow rigged primaries, people who still don't have a clue who runs primaries, people who don't understand how government works, people who literally threw their vote away by filling in an invalid candidate and leaving the ballot blank, people who still attack the ONLY qualified candidate that was on that ballot, people who bought the BS Jill Stein was selling, and so bought into the lies they were fed during the primary that they didn't listen to Bernie when he said anything to them when he showed up in the general.
Razol thins loss that's still a loss, and that was a loss for all those reasons you keep blinding yourself to. Why do you reject simple facts? The fact is that people were hoodwinked, by the same sort of vague nonsense on both sides, fed to them by a complicit media, and online propaganda that was aimed from both sides at a single candidate, that was not true, and found a receptive, ignorant audience eager to feed their bigotry and bias. Own up to what happened, stop rationalizing, stop excusing and stop deny facts and projecting your own behavior. That's not how we move forward.
We need to start with education apparently a whole lot of people are deeply ignorant an susceptible to believing whatever lies cater to their ignorance and bigotry. That needs to be addressed. Denial isn't going to do it, nor is attacking the DNC, Democrats or anyone who points out the obvious.
