But this election, she was up against Bernie, a non-millionaire ant-establishment independent populist from Vermont who funded his primary campaign without corporate help, and Donald Trump, the sort of republican anti-establishment to the point he's been disowned, who mostly self-funded his primary campaign.
Just bad luck. If she were up against Ted Cruz, or Jeb Bush, none of this stuff would be particularly effective. But contrasted with Bernie and Trump, to a group of voters ready to try something different, it hits 3x as hard.
Because it's like this in reality
Obama first 4 years
group a. He could be a good president.
group b. were waiting on change
Obama second 4 years
group a. he is a great president.
group b. where is the change??
Now with presidential elections
group a. WHOO ESTABLISHMENT
group b. fuck your establishment we want fucking change <- the people she needs to win
May I just say, and I'm being completely honest, you're being a lazy dumb-fuck. Obama never said "I got this, you all chill now". He said "yes we can". And we could have but not without more we. You want change, work to throw republicans out of office. Change out the republican state legislators while you're about it.
If all you have is a shrill whine for some sugar daddy politician to come bring you all the candy and fix everything, you're never getting served. The problems are tough and there is no magic wand. If Bernie had gotten in, he'd have been up against the same limits. Being elected president isn't the same as being king or emperor.
