Too Big to Fail: If Hillary Clinton and 2 of Jason Kander (lost by 79,000 votes); Katie McGinty (lost by 87,000 votes); and Russ Feingold (lost by 100,000 votes) had won in 2016, Democrats would currently have a majority on the Supreme Court.

Why didn’t voting for the lesser evil stop this? And other questions for the liberal mind

I feel like a lot of people have memory-holed the 2016 election and everything we learned about it. Hillary won the popular vote. She lost because of Russian interference.

That just hurts. Comey. It all started with Comey feeling some sanctimonious urge to open his fat trap absolutely of his own volition. And I can stomach no more so am off for the day. No skeeting for me, I'm going to follow my own counsel:

May its memory be a blessing. But let's also remember the sage advice of Joe Hill: "Don't mourn. Organize!"

I'm constantly weirded out by "me voting in two elections didn't make everything perfect, so voting doesn't work" "Voting doesn't work" is literally a right-wing talking point. If it didn't work, they wouldn't be spending billions to make it harder to vote.

In the minds of a lot of people, history goes back about twenty minutes

It’s obviously not as clear as 2016, but even in 2020 the extremely close victory for the “lesser evil” is a big part of this. If Biden had won a blowout, with corresponding huge margins in the House and Senate, everything would be much different.
