ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri Clinton lost because she was a worst (barely, imo) candidate than Trump. Really? And there was me thinking that she lost because the left refused to vote for her as they'd been hoping that Bernie Sanders might get the democrat nomination instead. In other words, Hillary wasn't even good enough to vote for against Trump. So, even some Democrat voters preferred Trump over Clinton. That kinda lines up with my assertion. Uh, no, actually. Unfortunately, your lack of basic reading comprehension, as it turns out, seems to be representative of the situation at hand during the recent voting process. The poster you responded to said nothing of the sort, but rather was alluding to (generally) those who voted for the Libertarian or Green Party candidates or Bernie write-ins, or, that Democrats, in large numbers, boycotted the whole thing and just stayed home. But even after all that, it's hard to explain how 'Democrat voters preferred Trump' when she won the popular vote by 3 million. So given your take on the outcome, apparently there were a number of Republican voters who 'preferred Clinton over Trump.' Wowie zowie. To state it plainly: none of the above could in any way be considered as 'Democrat voters preferred Trump over Clinton.' If you are presented with two movies to watch, and you don't like either of them and decline to attend at all, does that mean you 'preferred' the film most attended by others? You seem to be lacking in logic skills here. Democrat Voter1: I want Bernie to win the nomination! DNC: Hillary is the nominee. Democrat Voter1: I wanted Bernie, so I'm not going to vote for Hillary, even if that means Trump wins. Thus, Democrat Voter1 chose to not support the Democrat candidate - Hllary Clinton - even though in doing so, it could easily mean the Trump wins the election. Apparently, that was preferable to Hillary winning. That has nothing to do with third party candidates, either.
