In reply to the discussion: White People Want Trump (The Root Article) [View all]Delarage
(2,467 posts)7. I'm not sure it matters, though
Hillary won the popular vote and, without election interference and voter suppression and God knows what else, would've won the electoral vote, too.
It's like saying Gore lost because of Bill Clinton. He lost because of Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Palm Beach County, and the Supreme Court.
Maybe many/most white males are mouth-breathers who watch Faux News (not THIS white male voter) but there are enough of us educated progressives to win every national election---if all of our votes count and our election is clean. But I guess enough of them did vote for 45 that it made it easier for Putin's finger on the scale to not be as obvious as it should have been (ALL the polls were wrong?!?!).
