So many libs are gonna be down and out after this, like they’re not gonna believe that wandering shouting VOTE at random people couldn’t get them the win. We need to have like pamphlets and memes we can spam literally fucking everywhere to highlight the failures of the dems and give people resources to learn more about communism

    The current system isn't fair, but when you run you're agreeing to the terms. She had the opportunity to overrun her polls but she didn't--she took the last few weeks of her campaign to fuck around in Arizona like a dipshit.

    And the narrowness absolutely counts. Ballot box bullshit really only impacts (only, I say, as though percentage points aren't reflective of hundreds of thousands, but still) maybe 1 to 2% of the vote. Which is a lot, but if it's not a narrow race, that doesn't matter. The American electoral system is fucked, absolutely, but the only times Republicans have won in the past 20 years are when they were in a narrow race where they could throw their weight slightly in one direction or in Hillary's case, watch her spit up on herself.
