Sorry, Bernie but the Democrats know whose side they are on and whose side they have always been on

340. I'm reading as best I can

Off-topic, but your lack of paragraph breaks and punctuation makes what you write rather difficult to read - it takes me two or three tries to get your meaning...

" Some people forget they aren't special and they certainly don't own the democratic party which has existed long before they come along." - yes, that is what frustrates me about BS.

"And nothing is static it's dynamic. " - yes, and part of the problem with the 'purists' is that only they can evolve on an issue, but if a candidate is "establishment" like HRC or Ralph Northam, they are incapable of evolving on an issue, even if they are running on the most progressive platform ever.


"Sorry but most people think the democratic leadership didn't represent the majority of Democrats and it's why we had historic losses in the House and Senate for years." What do you mean by "democratic leadership"? The DNC has very little input into who runs for office outside the Presidential elections. Can you specify who you are talking about when you say "Democratic Leader?" Obama? Carter? And don't you think that the very real and widespread voter suppression aimed at Democrats has had a significant effect on elections?

"It would be asinine, absurd and beyond stupid to try and convince anyone to not vote for Hillary and I pity people too blind or agitated to see that." I saw that ALL over the Bernie Sanders FB pages. I saw bots posting "If you must vote for a woman, vote for a REAL woman, Jill Stein" hundreds of times. I know that Bernie's staff was told about this, and the fact that Bernie never addressed it publicly contributed to people in those discussions deciding to vote against Hillary as a protest.

Exit polls are more heavily weighted towards Democrats, those voting for the first time, and low income people.

Here is some information on exit polling:

"Here’s how exit polling works: In most states, Edison conducts phone interviews before Election Day to capture absentee and early voting. Then, on Election Day, they send staff to between 15 and 50 polling places per state, and they ask between 500 and 3,000 voters to fill out questionnaires indicating which candidate they voted for and what issues are important to them. In order to account for those voters who refuse to fill out a questionnaire, exit pollsters have to adjust their survey data. Lenski says that about ***50–60 percent refuse to participate.**** When someone says no, the pollster notes the person’s rough age, race, and gender. They then weight their data to match the population that voted at that location."
