Not really but nobody’s created a thread for them yet, and everybody calls anybody younger than them a millennial anyway.

In just a few hours, the first people born in this millennium will be able to vote.

I liked it.

I don’t get it.

I think that’s one of them YouTube reviewers I don’t care about but beyond that I still don’t get it.

I do not like YouTube reviewers.

I always thought you were smart, glad to see I was right.

I’ve never watched YouTube reviewers.

Sure; yes, you could put it that way. Threads that cover the same topic as other threads and older threads that did not generate a lot of activity are typically excluded.

I think there was an old thread about this.

The thing is, this story covers a vast cross-section of issues. Police accountability is one, but there’s also things like gaming culture in there.

The dossier didn’t lead to the Russia investigation, as Trump has said.

Also, I don’t think we knew about the London meeting before.

This is big.

During a night of heavy drinking at an upscale London bar in May 2016, George Papadopoulos, a young foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, made a startling revelation to Australia’s top diplomat in Britain: Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.

About three weeks earlier, Mr. Papadopoulos had been told that Moscow had thousands of emails that would embarrass Mrs. Clinton, apparently stolen in an effort to try to damage her campaign.

Exactly how much Mr. Papadopoulos said that night at the Kensington Wine Rooms with the Australian, Alexander Downer, is unclear. But two months later, when leaked Democratic emails began appearing online, Australian officials passed the information about Mr. Papadopoulos to their American counterparts, according to four current and former American and foreign officials with direct knowledge of the Australians’ role.

The hacking and the revelation that a member of the Trump campaign may have had inside information about it were driving factors that led the F.B.I. to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired.

All while some dwell on perceived secret motivations.

That post was non-serious.

On the “Michigan-Wisconsin-Pennsylvania” ppoint, yes, that’s true, but even if Clinton had won Michigan and Wisconsin, she still would have ended up short in the Electoral College. And, to my memory, she did campaign pretty extensively in Pennsylvania, so, in order to win, she would have had to win either that or, say, Florida.

And there are solid critiques of her failings in Florida too. There are ample examples of how Clinton really tried to appeal to an ideological constituency but took all kinds of non-ideological demographics for granted.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but Clinton’s campaigning decisions is just one part of a multi-faceted lost that cuts deep into American society. Yes, one apart of that is that Clinton didn’t play in enough states. But there were other factors at play.

California isn’t a monolithic hive mind. No states are. That’s the problem. You can’t just arbitrarily remove one to make a point.

Nice try, Massachusetts liberal. You just wNt to protect your own interests!!!1!!!
