How many people participated in Maine? Renew Deal May 2016 #5
So what you're saying is that in 'reality' Sanders is winning? anotherproletariat May 2016 #6
Nope. I'm saying throwing that number out is propaganda. The number means nothing. TalkingDog May 2016 #11
So, it's kind of like Sanders telling his people to keep sending money, he's going to win? anotherproletariat May 2016 #14
And you guys got that lie wrong too. Bernie doesn't ask his supporters to send money pdsimdars May 2016 #86
The popular vote of the people voting in Dem primaries or caucuses does though. brush May 2016 #15

You clearly have no idea what the word "propaganda" means. TwilightZone May 2016 #23
You clearly have no idea what the word "facts" means. samson212 May 2016 #64
Would you prefer they use a number like 2M? Is that closer to what you perceive to be reality? LonePirate May 2016 #57
Sanders would get 100,000 to 150,000 votes more. hrmjustin May 2016 #8

She is winning the delegate vote, by much larger margins than Obama. Agnosticsherbet May 2016 #16
The popular vote is one measure. Hillary is winning every measure, Bernie losing by every measure. tritsofme May 2016 #17

Bernie has 10 million that she will want, and the money also. Just wait. oldandhappy May 2016 #19

PREPOSTEROUS disinformation ProgressiveEconomist May 2016 #39
So, because caucuses are bad, so are caucus goers' votes? samson212 May 2016 #67
Pretty sure this lie was debunked a month or so ago, but I'll do it again Tarc May 2016 #40
Did you read the article? samson212 May 2016 #68
Yes. The article writer is lying Tarc May 2016 #74
It's not a lie. At worst, he's doing the same thing you are. samson212 Jun 2016 #93
The point is, correcting for all the caucus-goers results in at most +200k for Bernie Tarc Jun 2016 #95
That's your point. You're ignoring my point and the point of the article. samson212 Jun 2016 #99
It isn't a useful metric TO YOU because it looks bad for Sanders Tarc Jun 2016 #103

I think Washington is a poor example Trenzalore May 2016 #42
Didn't Washington have a non binding vote and Hillary won? Using your theory say Thinkingabout May 2016 #43
Replace caucuses with primaries and I bet Clinton surpasses 2383 without any superdelegates. Garrett78 May 2016 #48
Yes since most of Sanders wins is in caucus states, caucuses suppress the senior Thinkingabout May 2016 #50
Caucuses get romanticized, but the fact of the matter is they suppress turnout in a big way. Garrett78 May 2016 #44
Why is the total population of a state used? It is not relevant. LiberalFighter May 2016 #47
Washington is a really bad example considering 700k voted in the non binding primary vs. 230k in the tandem5 May 2016 #49
She's closer to "winning" than Sanders even if it only 2.8 million, rather than 3.0 million lead. Hoyt May 2016 #51
