2016 Postmortem

(725 posts)56. BINGO!
There's no logical way to reconcile the huge numbers who attend and support Bernie at his rallies and the discrepancies in the numbers voting for Hillary.
We have all watched the media ignore crowds and events for Bernie - I think we've all come to expect that.
But now there's a ton of recent articles reporting fake twitter followers and we know the money David Brock has poured into fake and purchased social media opposition. I think Hillary has really hurt herself with her alliance with him. I know she had to feel like she had no one to stick up for her and I guess he did (read his book Blinded by the Right) but that didn't change him into a nice guy. He's a snake from the same family as Karl Rove.
I'm so disappointed in Democrats if they are engaged in voter fraud!

I don't understand how you cannot be concerned because the GE is just around the corner.

No, I don't blame the victim, the victim is the registered Democrats who had long lines

Because we don't meet international standards for elections. It's an unfunny joke. nt

We do need international observers, and a standardized system of verified counting.

Probably the most important thing we could do is to stop the "as-fast-as-possible" vote reporting.

The 182,000,000 that Clinton has spent fighting his liberal message is just chump change

The convention in Nevada today is shaping up to be another prime example of illusory Democracy.

More like fiction. Just because numbers appear on CNN and are made "official" doesn't make them true

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. I haven't seen any real-world evidence of such support.

It's not that big a leap for these guys to go from fake twitter followers, to fake voters.

K&R- It's conspiracy theory in the Dem primary, but when the GOP wins somehow it's not here.
