How did they run "literally the worst candidate possible" when she won the popular vote? It's no fault of her own that Trump's campaign spread fake news like wildfire.

And continues to (such as 'I really won the popular vote, all of Hillary's were from illegals!').

She won the popular vote because of New York and California, who seem to buy in to her particular line of bullshit. Middle America (you know, those willfully ignorant racist sexist homophobic blah blah blah folks in flyover country) did not. And therefore she was positively crushed in the Electoral College, which is the vote that matters.

Maybe the problem was Middle America. When you have sexist, homophobic, religious zealots who aren't into the idea of treating other people humanely and don't believe in science or facts, maybe it's not the candidate that's the problem, but that the voters themselves are douchebags.

Or maybe (I realize this is a stretch) those people are sick and fucking tired of being called "douchebags" and other names by smugly self-important progressives and just tuned you out because it's gotten old. I mean, they're an "irredeemable basket of deplorables" anyway. No sense in trying to persuade them that your candidate is good for America, so just label them and walk away.

That was super effective. Do it again in 2020.

I am sadlaughing at the blunt accuracy of this comment.

You know there are some of us here in middle America who voted for Clinton, too, right?

Yeah, and we went blue! #TeamMinnesota

Lucky you. My state of Iowa went red :/ (and we re-elected a crap governor and Steve fucking King, for reasons I can't begin to fathom).

But there were a few spots here that went blue, so...it's something, at least.

Of course I do. I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the Middle America who voted for Trump.

I don't understand this point of view that acts like states are homogeneous masses of ideology where everyone thinks alike. I can see how it made sense back when slave states were trying to protect their interests against free states, but right now it just doesn't match the reality I see.

Well, they're not, except as a sort of broad-brush thing. But Utah has a different culture than Texas, which has a different culture than California, which has a different culture than Mississippi, which has a different culture than New York.

Somehow, we make it work, but I'm really afraid that we're not going to be able to for much longer because the divide (at least from where I'm sitting) looks awfully deep and wide, and it's only getting more so. We're yelling at each other instead of talking to each other, at least in the public square. It makes me sad, honestly.

Well when it comes to New York, upstate is very different from NYC. I attribute my skepticism toward viewing states this way partly to being from New York and seeing the huge differences between different parts of the state. I just think it would be better to acknowledge that there are tons of conservatives in places like New York and California and plenty of liberals in the south and midwest. Sure, states tend to go either blue or red, but for every person who says that the electoral college is keeping the liberal elites in New York from overwhelming everyone else's votes, there's a conservative in a blue state (with the same opinions that the first person is claiming the electoral college is protecting) who feels like their vote doesn't count.
