She won the vote. She lost the election. It's important to win the election.
Elections don’t win votes, however….
Seems like votes don't necessarily win elections, either.
The fact that this happened should tell everyone that the US political system is completely broken.

I agree that it should be improved to better reflect current population and demographics, but she entered the election Knowing the rules and system. She lost due to bad electioneering, bad strategy, hubris and a decades long negative campaign against her.
