In reply to the discussion: If Hillary is the Democratic pick we will have very poor voter turnout and we will lose the election [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,835 posts)... you are apparently fabricating things in your own head.
I am simply pointing out the FACTS. Hillary is the front-runner. Despite DU posts about how "it's now apparent that Bernie will be our nominee" (and there have been quite a few), the FACT remains that he is a distant second behind the front-runner.
The FACT remains that HRC has the vast majority of Democratic voters supporting HER, not BS.
Reading DU over the past few months, I realize that BS supporters simply choose to ignore the FACTS. They dismiss every poll showing HRC as the front-runner as being inaccurate, or too early to be reflective of the attitude of the voting populace, or too - whatever.
The FACTS continue to be the FACTS; the numbers continue to be the numbers.
The assumption that Clinton supporters are "whatever, Clinton I guess" is, for the BSers, a simple-minded way of dismissing the FACT that the vast majority of Democratic voters are behind HRC 100%, and has little to do with "whatever, I guess".
How will HRC's numbers fare as time goes on? Well, time will tell. But pretending that Democratic voters will, en masse, suddenly have an epiphany and realize that Bernie is the Lord & Saviour they've all been waiting for is extremely unlikely.
But, hey, keep telling yourself that things are going to turn around any day now. Don't let the FACT that Bernie's numbers have stalled for the past month dissuade you from the idea that the Party's voters are just minutes away from realizing that the guy who can't even get within a mile of HRC in the polls will suddenly be acknowledged as the Democrats' best bet to beat the GOP in 2016.
Because that makes so much sense, ya know?
