Bernie Sanders wins Democrats Abroad primary

CNN) — Bernie Sanders has won the Democrats Abroad presidential primary, defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 69% to 31%, the organization announced Monday.

Sanders received 23,779 votes from American Democrats living in more than 170 countries. Clinton received 10,689 votes. He picked up an additional nine delegates, compared to four for Clinton.

The contest marks the Vermont senator's 10th win so far this campaign season and his first victory since winning the Michigan primary on March 8. Clinton, who swept the primaries in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio last week, has won 19 contests overall.

The nearly 35,000 votes cast in the global primary exceeds the 23,000 votes cast in the 2008 primary, when Barack Obama defeated Clinton 66% to 33%.

Half expected as they're not living in the political bubble, 24/7 propaganda cycle that the rest of us have to endure. I am also glad that there are a lot of Americans here in the US that don't fall for the establishment propaganda.

Please folks, teach your children well and make them understand the elite's mental war that is constantly bombarding the American people.

It's not just about this race, we need the future to think hard and use critical analysis of the propaganda/information theyre carpet bombing us with else it's more......

Go Hillary/Trump !!!!!!



This the long term goal that we will reach, political revolution. Forget about short term losses, we can make this country a better place for our kids and their kids and their kids. A better America and a better future for us all!

AKA pay no attention to the conventional wisdom that was being put out prior to this recent victory and what should happen at the upcoming primaries. We have two choices in our party:

1 Shadow money or

2 Individual contributors

Know I'm preaching to the choir here but everyone has to pump it up and get out the vote tomorrow, we can turn this tide!!
