As per AP, Hillary Clinton’s lead in the popular vote is now almost 1.6 million votes.
Since the election, Hillary and her campaign have been second guessed and vilified as weak and incompetent. Some Bernie supporters have been very generous with their I-told-you-sos.
Did she run a perfect campaign? No, of course not. But the biggest cliche in the world, hindsight is 20/20, is such a cliche because it is very true.
Thanks to a relic from the 18th. Century, twice in the last 16 years, the people of the United States of America did not elect the President.
People argue that if the President were elected by the popular vote, the campaigns would have behaved differently, so you cannot guarantee that Hillary would have won that way.
Yet the simple fact remains: More people voted for her. It’s her misfortune, and the world’s, that those people live in the “wrong” places.
They’re still counting the mailed-in votes in California. Who knows, maybe my vote has not been counted yet. But the message is unmistakable: My vote is irrelevant.
