In 2016 a woman won the popular vote over a man in the presidential election.

The numbers on Tuesday 8 Nov 2016:

Dummkopf Trumpf (male): 62,984,828 (46.1%)

Hillary Clinton (female): 65,853,514 (48.2%)

Hillary Clinton was cheated of her victory by the anachronistic Electoral College system which was designed to keep the status quo in power, as well as Russian interference and James Comey's unwise comments about her personal OPSEC procedures.

Michelle Obama: "Don't ask about me running for Prez because you (we) the Electoral College system isn't ready to have a woman President."

BTW: Democrats historically do better at national elections during peacetime.

Woodrow Wilson (1916) and FDR (1940) won their elections before entering the global conflagrations raging around them. After Woodrow Wilson won, he could decide how to steer the country. When he was advised that a British loss would cost American banks billions of dollars because of loans to their banks that the Kaiser would never honor being repaid, Wilson started tilting isolationist America toward the Allies for the sake of those mega-banks and the US economy

In 1944, more Servicemen identified as Democrats than Republicans and the US kept the course with FDR against fascism.

Look at all the presidential elections from 1948 to 2024.

LBJ knew VPOTUS Hubert Humphrey was going to lose weeks before Tuesday 5 Nov 1968 because of the Vietnam War (Source: Phone transcripts released from archives).

LBJ himself didn't want to run again, which he announced on national TV on 31 March 1968, two months after this atrocity was perpetrated on 1 Feb 1968 and the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo went viral:


"Why Bernie Sanders Lost"

fivethirtyeight.com

He couldn't beat Biden, either. This country isn't what we want it to be, it's what it is, and we have to account for that.

I'd love to see Bernie in the WH... or Michelle or AOC or Mamdani or maybe Talarico or a lot of others.

It may end up that Trump's BIG FAIL will change things, let's hope that's the way it goes.

- the DNC chose Hillary over Bernie.

The voters did that.

"The 2016 Democratic primary wasn't rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn't rigged against Sanders."

www.vox.com

What the "Rigged Election!" claim did was to make it possible for Trump to use that as vaulting pole and a Defense later.

I would have rather had the more liberal candidate, but Bernie was never going to win a national election... the reason he was even competitive was that he won 80 percent of the Caucuses.

And Hillary is and was a lot more liberal in her policies; she ran towards the middle so as not to lose swing voters, hoping that liberals could read her lips... and the polls.

But as Michelle Obama said recently, "don't ask about me running for Pres because you (we) aren't ready to have a woman President".

But this one is about trans, so it'll get all the posts from the trans obsessed Trumphumpers.

(from actual news source)

The antiwar movement in the US is as old as the American Revolution.

With progressive candidates on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, the Democratic Party can recapture the millions of pacifist voters they lost on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 (6,265,888).

We can oust the Republicans, warmongers, antisemites, fascists, Islamophobes, and status quo dinosaurs this year by enlarging the "Big Tent" once again like we did on Tuesday 3 Nov 2020.


But candidates that receive AIPAC money or support ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank won't get the support of these millions of voters in future elections.
