2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCould all the horribly biased polling be HURTING Hillary, by making her supporters complacent?
I'm beginning to wonder if the brainwashers in the mainstream media are overplaying their hand. They meant to demoralize us Bernie supporters with these terrible, almost crazy, poll numbers showing Hillary up by 20, 30, even 40 points in certain places. But it didn't work, as time and again, we keep turning out to vote.
Hillary's supporters on the other hand, may have been lulled into a false sense of security, thinking they had this made in the shade, so they couldn't even be bothered to vote. In Nevada, her delegates couldn't even be bothered to show up at their county conventions!
Something to think about MSM... you might want to start publishing accurate polling... for Hillary's sake!

(3,660 posts)that there is a definite enthusiasm gap between Hillary followers and Bernie supporters. There's also her high unfavorables, and trustworthyness issues.
Just judging from DU, her followers are in a bubble about her record, and even then don't promote anything positive, it's generally more discrediting anything negative as a "right wing smear" and saying ridiculous stuff about Bernie. Given that those participating in a political forum site are probably somewhat more informed than most, that would kinda indicate that these were the more informed of her followers. If that's what they put out, it doesn't speak very highly of Hillary at all...
