Well, I personally do not believe Russian actions changed the outcome of the election.
I know some do. I disagree.
It didn't. These are people just grasping at straws. Pathetic straws at that.
Clinton lost because she was a
TERRIBLE candidate. Period.
Clinton lost because for the past 30+ years failed neoliberal policies and corruption- in which she had huge hand in- have left millions of Americans behind.
Trump was able to tap into the anger and frustration of millions of people in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that have lost their jobs to out-sourcing and watched as their cities/towns crumbled.
Obama gave a bail-out to private equity landlords in his last hours of his Presidency only to come out of his short little public life exile to start doing speeches for $500,000 a pop to Blackstone- the largest private equity landlord in the entire f###king world. Clinton was part of the same political class and her and her husband have done that same sort of shit.
Reasons like this are why Trump won. He was saying I'm a billionaire- I'm rich, I'm so stupid rich- they can't buy me like they can Hillary or Obama. This is also a reason why he won. People are not stupid. They know Clinton, Obama, Biden, the lot of them are corrupt and have been bought and sold. The Republicans don't even try to hide it. The Democrats are evil because they pretend like they don't engage in this behavior, but they do- and in many instances worse than Republicans.
Hillary and Bill left the White House millions in debt. Not even 10 years later they were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And this money didn't come from selling books. Some of it did. But only a small percentage. No one makes hundreds of millions of dollars from selling books unless they are writing Harry Potter or Game of Thrones or unbelievably popular shit like that. The Clinton's weren't selling books like that. It came from giving speeches. It came from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks.
