Hillary Still Salty Over 2016: She's On Netflix Calling the Electoral College a Straight-Up 'Abomination'
Ten years after taking that massive L to Donald Trump, Clinton is back complaining about the rules while regular folks are just trying to survive.

Look, Netflix just dropped this new five-part documentary called "The American Experiment" executive-produced by Tom Hanks, and guess who’s back on our screens crying about the rules? Hillary Clinton is out here calling the Electoral College a straight-up "abomination," and honestly, nobody is surprised. It’s been ten years, but she’s still holding onto that 2016 grudge like it was yesterday. In the trailer for the show, which drops today to mark 250 years of this country doing its thing, Hillary says she thinks the system is trash "for obvious reasons." Yeah, the obvious reason is she won the popular vote but still got her pockets run in the swing states.
This doc is packed with elite politicians—from Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi to Mike Pence and Ted Cruz—all talking about how the country's democracy was built, challenged, and redesigned. But for regular people living block to block, all this high-level talk just sounds like politicians making excuses. They love the rules when they're winning, but the second things don't go their way, they want to flip the whole board. Directed by Brian Knappenberger, this series is basically the political class arguing about how the game is played while regular folks are still dealing with the actual consequences.
The Electoral College was set up way back in 1787, and progressives have been hating on it ever since Hillary lost. Representative Zoe Lofgren from California gets on the track in the trailer too, saying the founders themselves weren't even feeling the system and that the whole setup was "defective from the beginning." She’s pointing out how a minority of the population gets to rule the majority, which is something people in our communities feel every single day when decisions get made over our heads by people who don't know us.
But let's keep it real: Hillary has been on this anti-Electoral College campaign for years. Back in her 2017 book "What Happened," she called it the "god-forsaken Electoral College," and then went on CNN to tell Anderson Cooper that the system is an "anachronism" that is way out of date and needs to go. She keeps screaming about "one person, one vote" and how we need to move past the old ways, but it's hard to take these elites seriously when they only start caring about fairness after they lose the crown.
Before the 2024 election went down, Hillary was back at it, telling The 19th that Democrats are always the "underdog" because of the Electoral College staring them down. But that excuse ran straight into a brick wall when Trump went out and beat Kamala Harris in both the Electoral College and the national popular vote anyway. No excuses there—it was a clean sweep, proving that sometimes the problem isn't just the system, it's that people aren't buying what you're selling.
It’s wild because while she’s complaining about the constitutional rules, she’s also pointing fingers at her own team. She recently did an interview calling Joe Biden’s 2024 run a "terrible mistake" and saying he should have passed the torch, even after she endorsed him earlier. It shows you how these politicians change their tune the second the wind starts blowing a different way. One day they're standing together, and the next day they're throwing each other under the bus.
At the end of the day, whether you think the Electoral College is an abomination or a masterpiece, the game is the game. The elites are going to keep arguing about the rules on Netflix and making expensive documentaries, but out here on the street, people just want a system that actually does something for them. While Hillary is still fuming over 2016, regular people are still out here trying to survive under whatever system is running the show.
