      Also a big reason Hillary lost to Trump. Her & the DNC said that they’re more loyal to corporate donors than voters.

        Hillary got 3 million more votes than Trump though.

          …and still lost because for all her vaunted experience, she didn’t bother to take the electoral college into account.

          Who got elected? Swing states is what matters in elections the most. Hillary was not a strong candidate and neither is Joe Biden in 2024. Voters already were forced the same hand with the same candidates in 2020. Progressives & youth will stay home feeling their vote didn’t matter cause they never liked Joe Biden. Swing voters will see Trump as a stronger candidate.

          She could have gotten 20 billion more votes. That’s not how we tally elections in this country. It’s not a popularity contest. It never has been.
