Thanks so much for giving us the credit.

Now would be a good time to pen the op ed about the new direction the Democrats need to take in order to attract those voters so it doesn't happen again...

Guilt? I'm sorry, you want the Catholic School down the way if you're peddling that crap.

We should wear it proudly. One of our many articulate and camera-friendly 99-ers needs to call up her producer and offer to come on her show. Maddow has probably heard of our little branch of the Manson family (according to TOP legend) through our publicists at GOS.

Of course, if three representatives of C99 went on Maddow, it would qualify as a movement.

You might as well blame Trump supporters, because you had more chance to get their vote than mine.

Stein and Johnson voters were never going to vote for Hillary. No way. No how. Hillary would also be President if 2% of Trump voters voted for her.

Wasn't the worst candidate ever, carrying enough baggage to sink the Titanic, she would have won in a landslide, and her supporters wouldn't resort to blaming everybody but Her.

on full display. Rachel is fairly quivering with fury at the very notion that some voters dared to take issue with her construct that Hillary and Donald were the only "viable" candidates in the race, and anyone not favoring Trump was thereby morally obligated to vote for Clinton.

It's quite clear from her haughty and belittling tone that she knows better than us "little" folks, and to defy her dictates is an act of rank sedition that instantly lands you a spot in that ever-expanding "basket of deplorables." And just why does she know better? Why she was a Rhodes Scholar, for heaven's sake! She's obviously smart as a whip, and knows about all of this political stuff backwards and forwards.

Plus, she inhabits the political world, and has absorbed its intricacies at a level of complexity that mere mortals can only begin to conceptualize. And last but not least, she's fantastically wealthy, famous, and successful! Having done so exceptionally well for herself, just where do all these peons get off refusing to be guided by her sage wisdom?

Truly, the face of the Democratic Party today. Makes you really scratch your head as to how its candidate could possibly be beaten by an opponent who, with only slightly more body hair, would be almost impossible to distinguish from an orangutan. Just too many damn deplorables out there these days, I guess. Poor, pitiful, abused, put-upon Rachel. Next time, I think she's going to have to remember to scold just a little bit harder.

Always punch left

why they do not blame those who stayed home refusing to use their vote? because they hope to woo them next time and for the mid-terms? She failed to GOTV and fire those folks up, but blaming them would keep them from voting for them, also, the mainstream parties have a vested interest in never allowing the 3rd parties to gain power and voters. I say it is what it is, a trick to keep folks from voting 3rd party, amongst the other tricks, such as "Don't throw your vote away" that they like to use all the time too. That the fault lays at Hillary and the DNC's very own feet is something that they can never do, and I don't expect that they will clean their own house, just attempts made to "pretty up the mess" like one does with a house in a sorry state with Spackle and paint to hide the problems.

Karma is a bitch, isn't it. You lie, you cheat and you steal something, then it is ripped away from you. Shall we call the WAMBULANCE???? LOL To many more people than they realized, integrity is still something of importance, no matter what Bill Maher said, no matter what Liz Warren said, no matter what the man himself, Bernie Sanders said. I am proud to have been one of them. Nice thoughts, Sam!

liberal political analysis from msm? It's patently absurd. Why does anyone even pay any attention to it? But come to think of it, I suppose fewer and fewer people do.

going to have to deal with a couple of weeks of these people shouting at their dogs before they realize they were duped.

maddow, however, is one of the ones responsible for the duping, and i'm not sure we'll ever hear the end of it.

Scholars such as Maddow and Nobel laureates in economics such as Paul Krugman, who laid Clinton's loss of Florida at Stein's door.

I refer them all to Steven D's piece here: http://caucus99percent.com/content/effect-third-parties-clintons-loss-nu...

The real problem--too obvious for a brainiac to address (see The Intellectual Yet Idiot: https://medium.com/@nntaleb/the-intellectual-yet-idiot-13211e2d0577#.nbt...)--is that Hillary Clinton failed to motivate enough people to vote for her. Also that this election's two main entrees failed to motivate millions of Americans who voted for Obama to vote at all.

As I keep saying: Give us a candidate worth voting for, and we do. Don't, and we don't. Maybe if I rephrase that with polysyllables, the Very Smart People who 'splain things to us will understand?

EDIT: We have to be wrong--someone else has to be at fault--or they'd have to consider the possibility of error on their part in backing the wrong candidate and misjudging the entire electoral landscape when they're paid for their insightful prognostication. Another angle: They're all still shilling for Hillary and their own status quo.

called Trump voters bigots and racists on election night. Without qualification. Just no clue what happened. But how can you expect otherwise? Personally, the Stein numbers are actually very disappointing. I expected at least double that. Would have left the establishment in a much greater tizzy of course.

FYI: Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar too.

Whenever you hear someone making that argument, the fact that 300,000 registered FLA Dems voted for Bush is conveniently left out.
