Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

What errors from 2016 exactly?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)
  • Unsympathetic candidate from the depths of the establishment.
  • Focusing on virtue signaling "how can you not want a women? And now she is asian and black too!" instead of real life improvements for the affected demographics. Especially after 8 years of Obama have shown that a black president doesn't mean much in that regard.
  • Focusing on who they are not, instead of focusing who they are.
  • Not opening up for a full primary, instead pushing the establishment candidate through.
  • Not addressing peoples economic concerns and offering a progressive solution for that, instead sucking up to the billionaire donors
  • Having a candidate that is currently involved in a war/genocide or advocating for more of it (Hillary)
  • Establishing a culture of looking down on "stupid" or "backwards" rural and rust belt voters
  • Sending contradictory in or mixed messages on various issues, depending on who they address/what the latest poll said to be important
  • Sending a message of a sure election in their bubbles, demotivating some of their usual voters.
  • Focusing on endorsements by high profile celebrities, further giving the image of a party of elites, rather than for the normal people.

Those were the bunch that came to my mind and what i remember seeing in various election streams.

So the exact same things the Republicans did

You're getting down votes because the truth hurts. People in the echo chamber don't want to hear anything except "Trump bad".

To sum up your comment succinctly it can simply be said that the democratic party failed to relate with and engage the electorate, something that Trump did successfully.
