2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIsn't it interesting that Democrats Abroad overwhelmingly voted for Bernie 69% - 31% for her?
Since she is the former Sec of State and known world wide, you would think it would be higher
Interesting.
btw - that included Israel - so much for all the Bernie bashing for him not showing up at AIPAC.

Compare them to the many dogmatic, cult of personality Hillary supporters on DU who are willing to forgive any Clinton shortcoming and seem to care more about parry identification and personality than the future of the nation.

(11,945 posts)The American media fears what Bernie will to their monopoly, so they hide him. Americans who get their news from the MSM, particularly TV, don't know much at all about Bernie and they only know what the media wants them to know about Hillary.
In foreign democracies, the media are freer and less censored than ours. People living abroad get a more accurate picture of what's happening here than we do.

(27,275 posts)The US backed a at coup here in the 50's. Most of the Americans I've met here are not Hillary supporters, but I am sure there are a few. I see Wendy's, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald's, Dominos, Little Ceasars, Office Depot, etc. Here, you really see the real purpose of regime change. There is a video of Hillary gushing about the emerging consumer market in Iraq for American corporations, after her vote, but before she evovled to it was a mistake.
