Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Hillary Clinton fought like hell to get nominated against Trump and then shat the bed in the general election. She is as responsible as anyone for the orange pall cast over our country the last 8 years.
She made some mistakes that absolutely cost her tye election, and cemented the paradoxical blue collar support for a party that wants to make things worse for them in particular. It was a catastrophic misstep by an intelligent and experienced politician, and to this day, I don't understand it. Hubris was always a problem for her, all the way back to the primaries, so maybe it was hubris that was responsible.
Yes, the Right already hated her, and she always had an uphill fight because of her sex. But it was still her fight to lose, and she threw it.
Still, she is a smart person, and capable of learning from her mistakes, and has had a few more years under her political belt, so discounting her just because of one disasterous loss might be its own kind of mistake.
She didn't learn anything. She thinks she was wronged and has only doubled down since 2016.
She blamed anything and everyone for her loss but herself. Still does.
