I Can't Help But Think How Much Different Things Would Be Today If......

[global1]

Hillary won the election.

[mopinko]

1. won the office, i think you mean.

there, i fixed it.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

2. She did win the election, she lost the Electoral College

[Lint Head]

3. Me too. So many hopes and dreams evaporated in one day.

[guillaumeb]

4. How much different would it be?

Instead of a Cabinet made up of climate deniers and predatory capitalists, who would Clinton have picked? That could be an interesting exercise.

In a parliamentary system of course, Clinton would have picked a shadow Cabinet.

[Coolest Ranger]

8. Based on what

please don't make comments like this. You have no evidence she would have done that

[guillaumeb]

17. I asked who she would have picked. And I engaged in labeling Trump's picks.

And that is all that I did. What did you read into my comments?

[niyad]

23. do you understand what a shadow cabinet is? a parliamentary system? what in the world was

wrong with what was said?

[LeftishBrit]

13. She wouldn't have picked a white supremacist as chief of staff at any rate.

And parliamentary systems are not a panacea. Ours isn't working too well at the moment.

[guillaumeb]

18. A parliamentary system is no better than the politicians involved.

But a shadow Cabinet at least allows a voter to see what an alternative could look like.

5. had HRC won, not just the popular vote, but the EC-- we would be counting down the days

with hope and optimism, not dread and dismay. we wouldn't be numb with disgust at yet the latest bs coming from the orange foolius or his people. we wouldn't need to be explaining to our friends overseas how in the hell this utterly incompetent, disgusting pretend human is about to sully the people's house.

[brer cat]

20. +1000, niyad. nt

[kimbutgar]

6. The attacks would be relentless

And the rethug house and senate would already have the impeachment papers ready on day one. It really would be a no win. But I would feel much safer knowing Hillary was our president. I feel doom and gloom everyday and my future feels like I know dread is coming. I am usually an optimistic person and hate feeling so pessimistic.

7. In Truth, Hillary Won the Election -- She Won the Most Votes

Hillary won nearly million more votes than the other guy. In most countries, she would be president-elect. In the U. S., her victory gets swept under the rug, like so many women's accomplishments.

[Horse with no Name]

9. Three million.

To be specific.

[ananda]

10. She won nearly THREE MILLION more votes than Drumpf.

..

[ffr]

11. Better. Hopeful. Reason to celebrate the hard work ahead.

But instead we get a lost opportunity to that and instead, sit on our hands while the rich take and take and take.

[LeftishBrit]

12. Indeed. Or to put it more accurately, if the Electoral College reflected the popular vote.

[WiffenPoof]

14. I tend to wonder...

What this world would have been like if RFK had lived.

[onetexan]

15. I refuse to think of the "what if's" and focus on

the "what we can do" to fight this illegitimate presidency about to befall our great nation. Hillary is still the first female POTUS in my mind whose presidency was stolen by the most horrific man and his ilk. The election is over, and this is isn't time to sulk. We need to band together and FIGHT!

[INdemo]

16. Since Donald Trump did in fact recieve the overwhelming support of the

republicans....I am convinced there is a strong possibility that we could in fact have a Nazi elected as long as that candidate had an R in front of their name...
Keep in mind Hitler was appointed and never elected...

Free elections as we once knew are just a thing for the History books unless Democrats in Congress actually lose that yellow streak......

[Martin Eden]

19. ... if Al Gore won the 2000 election. n/t

[lpbk2713]

21. The Trumpsters would be whining and threatening legal action.

All to no avail.

[coco22]

22. Its over..

I am tired of hearing about what if,it is what its is...

[edhopper]

24. The difference between the country surviving

or not.

Now it won't.

[lunatica]

25. Things would be exactly as they were with President Obama

Hillary is from the Democratic Party that's been running since her husband took office. And before you think I'm being critical or nasty let me tell you that it would be infinitely better for this country if she had won.

On the other hand, I'm a Progressive. I want to see issues like Climate Change, mitigating world hunger and peace being issues to actively work towards.

[BigDemVoter]

26. And the shit hasn't even hit the fan yet.

It hasn't even started.

I was just down to visit my parents recently, and they're liberal, but their goddamned friends are all homophobic tRump supporters. That is the LAST time I'll go to my parents'. . . .EVER. They don't get it. They don't understand why I have an issue with homophobes & tRump supporters, and they just don't get why I don't want to be around them. . . "You only have to be around them for one evening!"

Well. . . Even ONE second is too much when we're talking about mother fuckers who want to take my rights, my friends' rights, and my community's rights away.

This time I'm holding my ground. I have ZERO tolerance for these people, and I don't ever plan on being in the same room with them again. I am done.

[rug]

27. Whatever crawled out of the miasma would have stayed there.
