Ladies and Gentlemen... this is what you have been waiting for!  For your entertainment tonite... a dump conflagration of epic proportions!

Wow - the concern trolls were right.
Turns out that those DU posters who were so quickly and condescendingly labeled as "Concern Trolls" if they dared express ANY doubts about Hillary winning... were quite right to be concerned.

Unrealistic optimism noted, people.

=====================

And aaaaway we go!

2. Well, I'm still in shock and don't know what to yet believe.

I felt this way 2 times before: 9/11/01, and after the Kerry loss in 2004.

And this time is much better!!!!

8. I felt worse 2004.

Maybe it was because my non-political boyfriend cried when us gays where blamed for the loss.

My sister in law was driving our car with a rainbow flag on the back and some douche pulled up next to her waiving a "bush wins" headline newspaper. She cried too.

Maybe I'm numb anymore.

A couple days before this election I started getting that same sinking feeling I had in 2004, a couple days out from election, when I realized gay marriage bills were on several state ballots around the country.

*gulp*

This time it was Nate Silver's explanation of how Hillary didn't have it in the bag. I mentioned my nervousness and I received a "**** Nate Silver" reply. "Sam Wang is the man!"

When I started looking past the "Clinton 70% chance of winning" headlines and saw the slim margins that were involved in all Ohio, Florida, Michigan etc. I started getting that same sinking feeling.

Silver said Trump had a 1 in 4 chance. The same Chance he gave the Cubs of winning the World Series.

Half the country absolutely hates the Clinton's. I supported her in 2008 over Obama. But I know some repubs that would crawl over broken glass on hand and knee to vote against her. A couple points in key states was way too close.

Your pain makes me happy!

26. I know I wasn't a troll when I voiced concern.

I remember when I first became fearful that Trump had a good possibility of winning: when, in New Jersey, I saw maybe one or two Hillary signs amongst a sea of Trump signs. When I said this here and elsewhere, I was called a concern troll for voicing my fear -- which, sadly, turned out to be correct.

I remember this Dummie getting eviscorated for posting something along those lines before the election.

otherwise you'd be beaten down pretty quick and labeled a concern troll or worse.

It's called group think and you dummies are the textbook case for it.

Quote
Else You Are Mad (1,900 posts)
58. Exactly.

And that is the mentality that cost her the election. Hillary mostly only campaigned among the voters that were already going to vote for her. She ignored the Obama voters that weren't sure of her policies when she should have focused her campaign on them instead.

It is hillary's fault. That will endear this dummie to skins.

are wanting to paint a favorable narrative about this defeat rather than entertain what actually happened - so it sounds like you're still going to have the same problem.

154. I agree with you.

I found some others, but quickly realized they were cesspools of toxicity and so not a reasonable alternative either.

I don't like having to march in lockstep (sorry, unfortunate turn-of-phrase) with anyone.

Well then you definitely ain't at the right place, dummie.

74. I don't think we're done with that yet.

In many people's eyes Hillary lost because she was a woman. Period. It had nothing to do with the fact that she's a corporate Dem with ties to Wall Street and gave those $250k speeches knowing damn well she was going to run for president. Nafta, TPP, shitty decisions handling her emails and server, the list goes on.

Skinner is watching you.

Quote
revbones (3,660 posts)
78. Exactly.

 
And I agree, there'll be more blaming everyone else than letting Hillary take any. It's already evident here and will just serve to drive more people away.


You too.

140. Exactly

Those of us who were afraid that people were embarrassed to admit they were voting for Trump were shouted down and told we were creating negative energy and accused of not wanting her to win. I bet we all wish we had done just a little bit more - I know I sure do - and maybe we would have if we had been a little more nervous like we should have been.

That dude voted for Stein and was only here to sow division. His entire purpose was to create negativity and division, just like the majority of the concern trolls.

6. I think anyone who was not concerned after Comey's Friday note to Congress

lacks good political judgement. Take away that and I think Hillary wins a close election (state by state in the rust belt and Florida) in the electoral college. But of course, there was little to be done really at that point, but try to get out reliable voters on election day.

All your FBI are belong to us!!!


There is way more over there.  Well worth going over there and reading.

64. I feel that the barring of dissention is not good for a "Democratic" site...

but hey I'll follow the rules or else you get banned. But I would like to participate in a site where dissention is allowed. I too had concerns that I didn't voice because of this. I saw Hillary hate everywhere I went and I live in NYC. There was no reasoning with the Hillary hate...they may not even know exactly why they hated her...but they "just did".

You at the wrong place dummie.

9. You get to say "I told you so"

And that's really what's important. So what if we have a fascist in the White House?

Anyone who was genuinely concerned should have worked on voter turn out. Of course they didn't. That's what I did.

I think you're confusing Hillary with the candidate who funneled his ads through Old Towne media and collected tens of millions in ad placement fees.

I think what You mean we should have voted how you told us to, because my vote and the rest of the Democrats are inferior to yours.
As for the rest of your bullshit, Eichenwald dispelled it. http://www.newsweek.com/myths-cost-democrats-presidential-election-521044

Yeah, it sucks Bernie faced a challenger and we didn't just hand him the nomination as was his birthright. Better yet, repeal the 19th amendment like the Trump supporters want so you can have the America you've always dreamed of.

Get out the vote campaigns aren't "gold plated." It's ****ing grassroots organization. That you treat citizen volunteer participation in politics with such contempt says everything about your worldview. Better a candidate who doesn't lower himself to work on GOTV for his own campaign or even register voters. Better someone who raises $200 million and spends the great majority of it on corporate media. Now that's democracy. No lowly volunteer organizing.

If you didn't want your friends to lose their medical coverage, maybe you shouldn't have worked so hard to smear the Democratic nominee? Maybe you should have actually volunteered to turn out voters? Of course popular participation is "gold plated." While treating politicians as infallible monarchs isn't. What utter cant. But hey, you now have a president who will strip away the rights of the undesirables who refused to follow the command of their superiors and dared to vote for Hillary. What are you complaining about anyway? You got exactly what you and the rest of the piners have been rooting for.

Look up butthurt in the dictionary and BainsBane pic is there.

39. Doesn't matter to them.

They're still crying that Bernie lost the primary, endlessly going over what ifs knowing damn well Bernie wasn't attacked like Hillary, even though he would have been had he won the nomination. They're only concern now is "I told you so's", which will only further fracture the party and ensure we lose the midterms as well. Good luck with that. But hey, at least they get to feel good about that protest vote...

134. Do you like Roosevelt?

Me too...of course we can kiss every bit of his policy goodbye now. Oh, and for old times sake thanks for your concern. Too bad some Democrats and those who call themselves Progressive (one can call oneself a ham sandwich doesn't mean it is true) or liberal didn't care enough about those policies to save them from Trump by voting for Hillary...the only one who could stop him.

Wait a minute, wait a MINUTE. 

You mean you can't arbitrarily self-identify?  It has to actually be backed up by facts?  Maybe in some instances biology?  Taken to its logical conclusion, you DO realize what you're saying, right primitive?

A note:  Apparently this thread was started last week.  Just noticed it. My bad. :thatsright:  Still being responded to cause it was at the top.

A couple more:

159. We didn't expect all the polls to be total shit! (Nate Silver's lost all credibility)...

and we didn't expect Hilary to surround herself with clueless people on the ground in the rust belt. I guess they pretended to walk the precincts!

All your Nate Silver are belong to us.  Dummie used to love them some Nate Silver. Now if Silver would have predicted Trump winning, I believe he had it narrowing in the last days, the dump would have dumped on him.

Oh and once again dummies... all your Nate Silver are belong to us.   :loser:

160. Nate Silver doesn't conduct any polls.

He was also the only prognosticator giving Trump a chance but nobody here wanted to listen to him.

This is true.

161. First of all I am happy DU is back. To be stuck in Ohio

with nobody to talk to about the election results has been tough. I am one of those
some labeled as a concern troll, all I can say is I wish I was wrong and I told you so.
As I said many times I could not believe the Trump signs everywhere you went in eastern Ohio
WV and PA. We were told signs don't mean votes. Then there was total absence of any
evidence of a Democratic campaign for President or Senate. I couldn't understand why the
campaign was wasting time in places like Texas trying to expand the map when anyone should
have seen we were going to have trouble in the rust belt. But it is what it is and we now have a raving
maniac heading for the Whitehouse.

All your Ohio, WV, and PA are belong to us!!!

The signs were there for a reason dummies. Those signs were a sign that you ignored.  Problem is you dummie lemmings listen to the MSM and did not believe your own eyes.

The great thing about that thread is - much like the '10 reasons she lost' thread - they are totally oblivious to her actual flaws and missteps, and $kins continues to actively suppress any dawning realization of her flaws as a candidate or campaigner.
