No, she didn't technically beat him. Sure, I'm a bit bitter about a system that will award victory to a person who didn't win the popular vote. But I'm not stupid enough to keep crying about it, because she lost fair and square in accordance with constitutional law. She lost. She lost period. She didn't 'technically' win. If she had technically won, then she would be in the Oval Office right now.
The only elections that she has ever won were senate races that she pretty much couldn't lose. It is long past time for us to start telling the truth about this.

But yeah, if you pick a fuck up to be your champion, you don't have any right to whine if you lose.
Not this shit again.
If you want me to admit I was miffed at her not tapping Bernie as VP, I FUCKING AGREE. But I do not think it was a conspiracy as much as it was a bad guess.
I actually was impressed with Tim Kaine as a Virginia politician prior to any of this. But it did bother me that Hillary chose him instead of Bernie.
My point is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
Division is not an option at this point,
I really don't give a fuck that you don't like my arguments here and now. I do give a fuck that an orange bigoted bully can sink our democracy and kill our planet.
You need to get this through your head. Division is not an option according to you, so that you will get what you want. If you had it your way, then we would all have to vote your way every single time. Grow the fuck up. I consider division to be an option. Hillary felt entitled to the nomination. She got it. We backed her. She fucked up. Some of us aren't doing that again. No 'do overs'. No centrists. No intersectional ideology.
