If we believe falsehoods, we are no better than the Republicans.

Hillary lost the 2016 election. She won the popular vote but under the rules that has no value. These rules are stupid and unfair, but those are the laws, unfortunately.

It was indeed Hillary's focus on willing the meaningless popular vote that led her to campaign over and over again in California, ignoring the five midwestern states that actually lost her the election.

This was a terrible unforced error. At the time she did this, I literally groaned and put my hand on my head. WHY. Crap, I just did the same thing thinking about it!

My wife and I had other options. We moved to a social democracy. Now we can vote for socialist candidates who win elections. It worked out for us.

But I still resent that deliberate mistake, one which had such terrible consequences for America.
