I am going to block anyone who brings up the long debunked claim that Clinton lost because she did not go to Wisconsin. It's an excuse to not critically think or engage in why the 2016 election turned out the way it did.

By now, you should know that Russ Feingold who DID campaign in Wisconsin for months lost by a bigger margin than she did. You should know that racism played a huge part in 2016 because Cheato said the quiet parts out loud.

You should know why she did not go to Wisconsin (Pulse shooting) and stop being that insensitive to the death of so many LGBT people for being LGBT. And also know that going to a state has little to do with increasing turnout.

You should have the basic math down: Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes. She would not have won if she had won Wisconsin. Or Michigan with 16. She needed those two plus Pennsylvania where she had moved for the last three months.

You should know by now that sexism also played a huge role. Not in that Americans wouldn't vote for a woman. They wouldn't vote for that woman. Who always changes.

Looking at one union in particular, you can see the sexism: Firefighters (95% or so male and 85% or so white.)

You should know that Walker and his merry band of fraudsters in the state legislature imposed new requirements on voting that stopped up to 200,000 POC from voting. The lawsuits were not resolved in time and the polling staff had no idea what was going on so went with the law.

You should know that Clinton was doing fairly well in the midwest until Comey decided to show *his* sexism and send a letter to the Republicans claiming nonsense about new emails since he never bothered to talk to his bosses.

And he wasn't the only one in the FBI that sexist or arrogant:

You should know all of these things.

And if you don't, you aren't worth engaging with because you are either 1. a liar, 2. acting in bad faith, or 3. stupid.

PS: That's leaving out the Russian interference where they attempted, and I think they possibly succeeded, to break into the county registration list and deleted registrations. After all, you don't need to change the vote at election time. You can change it before then.
