Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumGood News .....Bernie's and Hillary's FACEBOOK statistics.
Between April 30th and May 9th Bernie Sanders has had an average of 17,766 Facebook shares per post reaching a total of 100,000,000 people on Facebook. Within the same time, Hillary Clinton has had an average of 225 Facebook shares per post reaching a total of 1,000,000 people.
But what do the data show when you compare Clintons post-announcement 'shares' to those of Sanders? Does Sanders still win?
During the 10 days following Hillary's announcement she had an average of 3,700 Facebook shares per post. So Bernie had an average of 14,000 more shares per post following his announcement.
interesting metric is "talking about this".
Hillary Clinton (~800k likes) has ~50k (~6.25%) talking about this.
Bernie's page (~400k likes) has ~250k (~62.5%) talking about this.
Bernie's Senate page (~1m likes) has ~955k (~95%) talking about this.
Phenomenal engagement there. Many articles I read simply mention Facebook likes and ignore "talking about this" which is a lot more useful to show engagement & reach.

(17,796 posts)there's just two things I worry about. The MSM and corporate political system will manage to convince enough people that this race is un-winnable or that a 'Dean Scream' moment will be found/created that worries folks.

(62,325 posts)to find something, ANYTHING, to smear him with. Because they cannot allow THEIR choice of candidate to simply debate him.
Now WE need to have a strategy to counter those millions of smear dollars.
I think there should be an Quick Response Team strategy set up by Bernie's campaign to handle the smears.
First thing they should do is send out an alert to their millions of supporters telling them what is going on. Eg, MSM is promoting a FALSE smear against Sen Sanders.
Second, start the phone calls, millions if necessary, DEMANDING that Bernie be on their program to counter the lies.
Third, important, find out who is behind the smears, who is paying them, and expose it.
If necessary infiltrate the enemy camp.
And every single supporter should be all over Social Media slamming the lies, exposing them if possible, but don't wait one extra minute to start the anti smear campaign.

(9,126 posts)I think it's very funny that Hillboosters all assume that everyone who voted for Obama last time will switch to Hillary. To be honest, I think she was much stronger in 2008 than she is now. The beginning of her campaign is just one misstep after another. And the marching orders to be silent on issues and to get her to run as a populist may just be her undoing. It's so stupid.
