I don't delve deeply into the details of every state's method of counting ballots. But there's a lot of votes out there, especially in big states like California, and it takes time to count them. Some might be over seas votes, military votes, or provisional ballots. I just look at the numbers in the news articles and they don't go into much detail. For example there are still 2.8 million uncounted votes in California the vast majority the pundits think are valid and they also think most will go to Hillary.

How are the uncounted votes being counted? A million votes still sitting somewhere? I don't get it.

It's more aspirational - if the 1% are controlling things, we can push for the lower 99% to have a say. If the 1% really aren't controlling things that heavily, then it's a meaningless or overwrought phrase.

Yes, and it goes beyond just Hillary. Occupy Wall Street might have a good slogan, "We are the 99%" but it's not true in any meaningful sense. I doubt that even a majority supported OWS or it's goals.

Amazing they same old talking points live on like the walking dead - she had no reason for running (aside from a career that seemed to advocate activism and public service since she was a teenager). There was no reason to vote for her except to stop Trump (aside from her well-detailed progressive platform that got only marginally adjusted by Bernie's minions). She's an *EGOMANIAC* (which she oddly displays with shy, reserved, self-deprecating humor, as opposed to all the non-egomanacs from Sarah Palin to John McCain to Bernie Sanders to Rudy Giuliani to Ted Cruz to Barack Obama to Tony Blair to Jesse Jackson to Ronald Reagan to practically anyone in the whole fucking world who's ever run for office).

The tautology lives on - we whipped her and hobbled her and held her to a million standards that no one else has because she's so flawed as a candidate, which she utterly showed by failing in an election where she gained 51%+ of the vote. That even shows her flaws more perfectly - she thought she was so entitled that she didn't even campaign hard enough in Wisconsin and Michigan (even though the polls said she'd easily win there). She spent all her time whooping it up in major galas and concerts in Pennsylvania and Florida and Ohio (replete in her lame excuse that these were tight races to contest and resting on laurels with Hispanics and blacks who she didn't lavish enough money on to get them to the polls, while ignoring her potential white male suitors who though they'd hated her through training for 30 years might have been persuaded by a sincere cynical or is it cynically sincere last whistlestop push through the Rust Belt like Sherman through Georgia to lay the Trump campaign in ruins).
