(2,198 posts)Joe is wrong on this. All he has to do is go back to the tapes of HRC and Sanders primary campaigns and HRC's national campaign. The media simply ignored HRC and her message her plans and proposed policies while giving 45 the free air time with his bloviating, racist, sexist, xenophobic messages. The message that gets replayed is the message that is remembered.
And so is Bernie wrong when he says "The GOP didn't win the election, the Democrats lost the election." WTF. There is never an acknowledgement of how even the Bernie supporters were targeted and how many of them fell for the fake news and even help spread it.
It is up to the Democrats to now stay on the media and fact check them and challenge them every chance they get. The DNC must begin town halls where this message is made clear. Voters were sold a bunch of crap by the Russian bots, the GOP, the 45 campaign, and the media. And this must be followed by clear, simple explanations of facts and the Democratic party's values and proposed solutions to our problems.
