You seem to think that there is something ethically and morally wrong with people drawing attention to concerns they have about Hillary here at DU. I reject that.

Sure there are some bogus stories and accusations, but there are plenty of those aimed at Bernie as well. It goes with the turf.

Her super-PAC bought Blue Nation Review to use as a propaganda outfit. Same for the site you listed I'm assuming. The goal is just to pepper out pro-Hillary crap, and have it picked up and recycled like you demonstrated.

Pure propaganda, no better than Joseph Goebbels using news media, cinema, etc... Here its just David Brock and Peter Daou acting in the place of Joseph Goebbels.

I asked a very simple question. You said "and yet voters are not flocking to" Bernie. My question implied that "low information" voters could be the difference. I genuinely wonder about that. It strikes me that Hillary voters are in large part less concerned about her record when it comes to economic policy (neoliberals/Third Wayer Dems) or they just don't know about her economic record, or there are other social issues that capture their support for her. ... In this light, I wonder, and I think legitimately, whether "low information" Dems make up the difference. There are plenty of low information voters to go around -- in both parties and across attribute groups.

Is that clear enough for you? Instead of jumping to faulty conclusions, try doing as you suggested to me -- think before you insult with accusations of racism.

I think an affirmative positive expression of who we are as Democrats, what we as a party stand for (as in concrete policy, not just meaningless poll tested aphorisms) and where we would like to go in this century would help with Millennials, who she is not reaching very well currently.

There are even RW sites and Russian propaganda that's swallowed whole with not a single person bothering to question them, even when the authors are the same and have a 100% anti-Clinton stance, they're treated as if they were "real" journalists and not highly partisan folks not doing much to pretend that they're practicing journalism.
