    I do too, which was why I fiercely advocated for literally any other candidate in 2016. I held my nose and voted for her, but I absolutely called it. Too many people just ignored the base, and it bit all of us in the butt.

      She did win the popular vote, for whatever good that does us. But what prevented a Clinton presidency was Russia seeding propaganda about her on the internet topped off with the FBI being used as a political tool. The 2016 Green Party candidate flying off to Russia last year is still a funny little sign of how absolutely fucked we are when it comes to asymmetrical information warfare.
