3 million +

[arely staircase]

That is how many more Democrats have voted for the next president over her Quixotic opponent.

Let that sink in as you dream of contested conventions and indictments that will never happen.

Democrats prefer Clinton.

Overwhelmingly.

[Peacetrain]

1. That is a number that no one can get around..

[arely staircase]

5. They really fantasize about delegates thwarting the people's will.

Not very good Democrats or democrats.

[Peacetrain]

9. Not going to happen..

[arely staircase]

10. Not in a million years.

Pure dilusion.

[geek tragedy]

13. They talk like Trotskyites not Democrats.

And that goes for the High Sparrow as well.

[rhett o rick]

29. Except it's entirely false. You leave out the states with caucuses. Typical distortion.

Seems the Clinton devotees are willing to sell their souls for a victory. The People will prevail over the Rich and Powerful and their minions that are terrified to fight for their freedoms. I don't mind it you want to grovel before your chosen authoritarian leader, but please think about all the people that will suffer if we have a Goldman-Sachs sponsored presidency. How can you turn your backs on the 2.5 million American children that are homeless? Oh I know, Clinton will give them cake.

[Tarc]

31. If caucuses were added, it would at most drop it to 2.8million.

So, not really much of a difference,

[hrmjustin]

2. Contrary to popular belief here second place is not the new first place.

[grossproffit]

12. +1

[geek tragedy]

3. Votes don't matter if they're not for Bernie.

He makes Snott Walker look like a champion in terms of respecting the sanctity of the vote.

And he makes Ted Cruz look like a humble team player.

[rhett o rick]

30. Well so much for unity for the general. The hubris and arrogance will be the downfall

of the Clinton Aristocracy.

[AtomicKitten]

4. An inaccurate accounting as they don't add in caucus states, but you knew that.

[LonePirate]

26. Except the caucus states don't overcome 3M+ votes. Maybe 300-400K at most.

Would a 2.5M number be more accurate for you?

[reddread]

6. crowd control

such modesty from the Clinton campaign during the 2016 campaigns closing moments demonstrates

something.

[msongs]

7. yeah but EVERY one of those votes was fraud, cheating, rigged, voter suppression says the bernie

crowd. of course there was NO fraud, cheating, rigged, voter suppression where bernie won. how odd that.

[arely staircase]

50. or from the south (AA)

White flight Bernie thinks those votes are worth less.

[Jack Bone]

8. Caucus votes don't count...is that what you're saying?!?

How VERY Democratic of you....


Carry on...

[Peacetrain]

14. You might not want to go there with that one.. caucus voter here.. IA

I live in a district with thousands of voters and only 250 people at caucus.. just saying

[Jack Bone]

16. Just sayin...is the 250 in the count, or not?

Thought so..

Carry on...

[Peacetrain]

19. Hillary got 125.. Bernie got 125

.. even in caucus states.. Bernie is not getting all the votes..

[Amaril]

37. And neither is Hillary (n/t)

[annavictorious]

22. Votes are not cast in a caucus.

Group preferences are measured in a caucus.

But if you want to somehow calculate how many votes a caucus represents and count them, Hillary will still be winning by millions.

And while we're counting hypothetical votes that can't be counted, maybe we should also count votes that don't yield delegates like those in non-biding primaries. In Nebraska and Washington where Clinton lost the caucus, but won the primary, tens of thousands more people participated in these contests by voting.

I sure hope that the super delegates in Nebraska and Washington respect the choice of the primary voters.

[Peacetrain]

23. Yep.. in the republican caucus in IA they do a straw poll

vote.. but on the Democratic side.. we stand and are counted.. and in order to be viable you have to have at least 15% of the people there.. so we are counted individually to gt that percentage.. If you don't have 15% you have to disband.. you can join another group.. or leave..and then by the number of individual in your group they figure out how many county delegates the nominee gets.. they spit it at my caucus..

[Jack Bone]

39. You made my point...total vote count is irrelevant.

Thanx...

[AgingAmerican]

11. Irrelevant in our system

popular vote doesn't count in our 'Democracy'.

[Ned_Devine]

15. I remember when, as a liberal, it was great to have big dreams for progress

Now it's called "quixotic" as a way of saying "fuck you" to anyone that dares stray from the status quo of incremental nothingness. Well, fuck that.

Overwhelmingly

[Fast Walker 52]

18. Seriously-- fuck that

[Ned_Devine]

20. We are surrounded by turds! Cover your head!

[LonePirate]

28. Quixotic is used to describe a pointless endeavor doomed to failure.

Bernie's campaign could not be considered to be quixotic until April 26. Before then you could argue he had a chance. Since that date, he has had no chance to win, hence the use of the word quixotic to describe his campaign. He has lost and everybody can see that except the hardcore Bernie supporters. Perhaps they will see light on Tuesday once the media officially declares Hillary the winner and pressure mounts on Bernie to concede.

[Fast Walker 52]

49. his campaign is not pointless, nor is it completely hopeless

thank you very much

[LonePirate]

52. If he is campaigning to win, then yes.

If he is campaigning to spread ideas and information, then no.

[Fast Walker 52]

17. what an obnoxious post

"quixotic"? Obnoxious.

"dream of contested conventions and indictments that will never happen"? Obnoxious.

No need to be arrogant.

Bernie is really really popular with a LOT of Dems. Please respect that.

[joeybee12]

27. And Hillary is really popular with a lot more...nt

[arely staircase]

34. Think of how popular Bernie is.

Then add 3 million.

Now you are talking popular.

3 fucking million Democrats more.

[MoonRiver]

21. BoBs don't care about the people.

Everything is about the Superdelegates, cause...

[geek tragedy]

25. Here is how we deal with that.

13 million > 10 million.

Any other requests?

[MillennialDem]

32. Yeah, how about Hillary and her supporters stop pissing on the 10 million?

[geek tragedy]

33. Hillary is not pissing on Bernie's supporters.

That's nonsense.

[MillennialDem]

35. Yes she is.

[geek tragedy]

36. Why, because she's winning against Bernie or because

she's attacking Donald Trump, or is there some other imaginary grievance you're not telling us about.

[MillennialDem]

45. She is not doing anything to appeal to Bernie supporters other than saying "fuck you, I won,

vote for me if you're not assholes. Oh and I'm not Trump"

[geek tragedy]

47. That is not "pissing on Sanders supporters"

She is running against Donald Trump.

She is not your therapist.

[MillennialDem]

48. No, but she doesn't have my vote yet.

[Amaril]

38. Getting it out of your system yet?

The June 16th moratorium on asshattery can't get here fast enough.

[Waiting For Everyman]

40. Your numbers are worthless.

Because of primaries counted differently, and the incessant vote tampering.

Nobody thinks it's valid, so I don't know what you think it does for you to keep repeating it. There is no point you're winning with it. Although it is amusing to watch you keep thinking you are.

If Hillary was such a great candidate, she could have afforded to run a fair election without all the shenanigans.

There isn't anything we could do about it, but don't labor under the delusion that we buy it as a legitimate indicator of anything whatsoever.

[arely staircase]

42. Look forward to your support for the nominee.

No?

[SwampG8r]

46. No.none.never.

I will.disengage and focus on decent honest progressive down ticket dems
The rules.are clear. I am not expected to.support her here or for that matter anywhere as long as i dont make a big deal out of it or encourage others to.follow me in my complete quiet non support of hrc.
I will.say adios.to the potus election and work for tim canova.

[aikoaiko]

41. I wouldn't say overwhelmingly, but HRC has a clear majority of votes.

And this is why Bernie needs to continue to fight for every vote and every delegate. The winners will lord over every net vote as evidence of her superiority.

[Uponthegears]

43. While you're busting

At the seams over the fact that Hillary has 3 million more recorded popular votes and looking down your nose at Bernie's 10 million followers like they were following Jim Jones into the jungle, ask yourself this . . . Who was the last Democratic presidential candidate to win the GE by more than 10 million votes . . . How's that for Kool-aid?

[basselope]

44. And yet she has no path to the presidency.

She would have to win states she has no chance at.

[ThePhilosopher04]

51. Fake number. Not real, typical Clinton spin.
