LOL I have yet to put forth a single excuse as to why she lost. But you go ahead and keep proving me right.

"And this just shows how easy it is to manipulate Democrats" your first sentence in your first reply clearly infers Democrats were manipulated and that's why she lost. Fuck right off kthx.

That's literally your own projection. All I commented on was how easily you are being manipulated still. You've made every argument against things that I haven't said. But not made a single argument against things I have said. Any of us are susceptible to misinformation and being misled. Which you clearly are. That was my point and you have made it for me over and over better than I ever could have on my own.

As to why Hillary lost. People can and have written whole papers on the subject. People like yourself spreading disinformation definitely did a lot to discourage people. Or drive them away. But is that really your ego speaking there that you think you are all that important? You are all just cogs among cogs. And not even very big cogs at that. Probably the single biggest factor that led to Hillary's failure was Electoral College followed by 30 years of propaganda among Republican fascist circles. And yet you bear some personal feelings of guilt and resentment for for your participation. But an unwillingness to let go of things that put you in that position.

Don't think that I don't find ironic humor at the fact that you're accusing a socialist of being a Hillary apologist though lol.
