Asking the Wrong Questions Never Reveals Correct Answers

As the postmortems of Hillary's still alive and unwell corpus corruptus are still running rampant, especially amongst the smart people, it is once again noting that asking the wrong questions never reveals correct answers. From definitive, awesome list of excuses authored by Jazzenterprises, many reasons for the political death of Medusa remain unanswered, at least to the satisfaction of the erstwhile "smart people".

The Progressives in our midst well-realize the numerous flaws which sabotaged Killary's Kampaign and have often commented on those factors, the inmates of the Great Washington Bubble (GWB--kinda like President stupid's initials) still cannot see through past the golden walls masking their isolation from external reality, to perceive that reality from the 99% viewpoint.

First, an accurate analogy by my new Hero, Jimmy Dore, of Democratic party idiocy: (13:18 duration, all of which is worth watching)

"...in spite of it all, for months on end, Clinton denied violating any policies or laws -- when the investigation revealed that she violated them repeatedly. She has her own primary role in that debacle. Secondly this is Obama's FBI."

And this is only the tip of the iceberg that sunk SS Hellery. Without reiterating so many of the fine points made in the above referenced article, it should suffice for those of us still burdened with enduring reality to understand
what really went wrong here.

Here is an early post-mortem by a Progressive, Jeff Waldorf of TYT Nation, commenting on the blindness on the billionaires who miserably failed to get any return on investment. On a positive aspect, Jeff suggests some reasonable, but unlikely to be realized, actions to reverse the process of Democratic disintegration. Much of the analysis is spot on.

My interpretation of the progressive post-mortem is that the billionaires bought a lot of subprime commodity (AKA HRC) and the bubble popped.

Another of our very own astute commentators, Henry Wallace made some pertinent observations:

If the left wants to get anywhere ever, one of the first things it needs to do is face reality: (Failing to acknowledge the existence of a problem greatly increases the odds that we won't fix it.) In my opinion, the first reality it needs to face is that neither of the two largest two U.S. political parties is dead; and, together, they have a carefully-crafted stranglehold on U.S. politics. They may go through cycles during which one loses to the other, but they are still Number One and Number Two in almost every election in the nation. That has been the case for a very long time, despite the fact that many, many new parties have formed during the last 162 years. And, for a very long time, Republicans and Democrats have worked together to ensure that they remain Number One and Number Two, freezing out newcomers (with the help of establishment media).

With due respect to HW, I must diagnose one of the Duopoly as moribund at best, and the prognosis is grim as I shall elucidate in a future essay. The Democratic Party may truly be likened to a person who repeated hits his/her head on a brick wall. You may ask why but the only logical outcome is at least a headache--or worse.

In the words of the great Muddy Mississippi Waters: The Democrats got their mojo workin' but it just don't work on you.

...a bumper sticker I saw just yesterday.

Self delusion is a religion with these people. They will NEVER own up to the reasons why she lost because introspection and self reflection is anathema to their hubristic philosophy of materialist narcissism.

In their minds, she will always be the great martyr for the cause.

IOW: Hillary is never wrong. She can only BE wronged.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

hubristic philosophy of materialist narcissism.

Unfortunately, this was not on my philosophy curriculum in the dim past when I went to college. Thank you for your heuristic phrasing, NHK.

I went to an ultra preppie college during the 80's.

You didn't need to go to class to see it all around you.

And Hillary is the Reverend Mother.

That's why we see all the excuses as to why she lost. Democrats just need to change their party's name to The Pity Party.

Hillary is never wrong.

so the need for her and her followers to lay claim that they were to blame is not going to happen. They will forever blame the left/liberal for her lose.

Their are two words that should forever seal the deal as to who is to blame for her lose, those two words are "Hillary Clinton".

I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish

"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Heard from Margaret Kimberley

This is who to blame for Trump.

Apparently the guy's name is Jonathan Pie -- sort of the British equivalent of George Carlin (from my very limited exposure).

Well worth your 5 minutes!

but what he says is a lesson unlearned by the so-called liberals of the D party. Both funny and maddening at the same time.
