    Does this mean they've given up on the petition asking Electors to vote Clinton into office?

    Is this Plan B? Did I miss any plans? I wasn't paying that much attention this weekend.

    YF, you have to acknowledge the Steve Bannon hire is pretty out there.

    Yes that's true. My point is he didn't beat her, she lost. She didn't get the numbers Obama got. She gets Obama's numbers, she wins. Voters did not turn out for Clinton. Trump got over all what Romney got. Romney scored 80 in a game but Obama scored 95. Trump scored 80 but Clinton scored 76. Trump didn't shoot very well but got away with it because Clinton shot worse.

    Basically this started because it was pointed out Clinton got destroyed in the county vote. She did slightly worse than Obama in the county by county results.

    I find that to be a horrible combination when trying to continue this nonsense of policing a world in which ---- surprise! --- not everyone thinks like you do or has the same values.

    But the consensus beforehand pretty much said that accusing an election of being rigged against you only serves to drive down the vote total.

    Impressed by how quickly Democratic Party leaders are pivoting to the concerns of white working class voters.

    But not at all surprising. He was campaign chairman, and a top advisor to Trump.

    It would be like expecting Podesta to have been frozen out of a Clinton presidency.

    True, if Podesta were a noted white supremacist.

    YF,

    The Bannon thing is disgusting. There's no other way around it.

    Wait, so was it about the economy or not?

    Your opinion doesn't count unless you prove you're an ally.

    Stipulating that that's the case, did the progressive obsession with framing all social battles (e.g., same-sex marriage) as our latest Civil Rights Movement play a role there?
