I know the DU is only a petri dish in the big picture but


Last edited Tue Dec 15, 2015, 10:03 PM - Edit history (3)

if Hillary has so many supporters, where the hell are they?

I know that everyone says online polling is "unscientific" but its much more accessible than phone polls and Bernie always wins those. Where are the Hillary votes?

I know that everyone seems to think that rallies mean nothing when it comes to voters but... If Hillary is so inevitable, where are her rally numbers?

I'm just saying, all these polls would lead one to believe that the passion for Hillary is in landslide mode.

But everywhere I look, there are only blips. Poll results here and there. The few groups of volunteers.

I just don't see it. It really fits the narrative of information and media control in her favor. Because the media is the only thing telling me that she's winning.

Just about every other source I look into is for Bernie.

*shrugs*

UPDATE: Just wanted to add that I expected a few Hillary supporters to say that they're too busy to do online polls and such. It's 2015, we can multitask. we can volunteer for our candidates and be bothered to vote online.

And I bet Bernie will get that important DfA endorsement this Tuesday.

And another thing!! Why does Republican online activity match their pundit polls, while our online activity does not? Something is fishy. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251901232

Well, the retro primitive has to realize something.

Every time a supporter of the worthier candidate opens his mouth on her behalf on Skins's island, the Bernie bullies gang up on him, bloodying him, beating him up, pounding him into the ground.

While the supporters of Messalina Agrippina merely wish to convert others to their candidate, the Bernie bullies want anybody who's not for Methuselah liquidated.

I think that's why one doesn't see many Hillary fans on Skins's island; it's like, "speak out, and.....die."

I call it "caution," not a lack of numbers.

I really don't regard her as the worthier candidate, they are both quite horrible, although for entirely different reasons.  Sanders at least won elections on something besides being a former First Lady of a popular President, which was how she became a Senator (At which point the power of an incumbency propelled her to re-election in the same chair).  In the one contested race she's fought, all her advantages were overcome by a golden boy nobody, who could read well.  Her much-touted 'Experience' was as one of the most-disastrous Secretaries of State in modern history.  I still refer to her as 'Passion fingers' because she f&%@ed up everything she touched while in that office.

retro - that's what happens when you maintain such an insulated existence.  I suggest you look inward and try to realize why you are so detached from reality instead of wondering why everyone else is on that bigger island off in the distance.

5. I think soon after the elections are over, you pro-Hillary guys won't be seen on DU again

for a long time -- maybe until the next election? In the meantime, you are trying to create
as much trouble as you can. And you're not succeeding too well.

"Worthiness" is subject to individual interpretation, but remember, in my case, my deal is the supporters of Messalina Agrippina, although pompous arrogant self-righteous asses, are less pompous, arrogant, and self-righteous than the supporters of Methuselah.

And so I'm tight in their corner, hoping to God they manage to crush the Bernie bullies under the heels of their jack-boots; grind them into dust and spit them out.

Neither Messalina Agrippina or Methuselah are any of my dogs in this fight; for me, personally, it's about which group of supporters is more palatable, and the supporters of the lady win that one, hands down.

I would characterize that as 'The worthier supporters of a candidate' (Or more accurately 'Mildly-less-repugnant DU creeps') than 'Supporters of the worthier candidate,' myself.

I think, additionally, the retro primitive forgets something; it's called "the silent majority."

I'm sure that just as in 1972, when the silent majority finally spoke out after being so quiet earlier in 1968, this time around the supporters of Messalina Agrippina will respond with a deafeningly-loud roar--at the ballot box, not on message boards.

Wait, watch, and see if I'm not right.

That's the same as a DUmmie doubting the big support for Trump and Cruz due to a lack of bumper stickers and yard signs.

I'm a supporter of both of them, and truly don't care whether it's Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump but I would NEVER show support for either of them with a bumper sticker or yard sign.

1) I don't want my truck keyed by a member of the tolerant and loving left who disagrees with my opinion

2) I really don't want to scrape a bumper sticker off

3) I don't want my house egged or rolled or vandalized in some way by the peaceful, loving and tolerant left, therefore, no yard sign.
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I had a bumper sticker on my pickup (back when it had a bumper) that read:  "He who dies with the most toys,  STILL DIES!"

Had another one on my company truck that read:  "Road Rage:  Next 10 Miles."

Have yet to put any political sticker on a vehicle, I leave that up to the mindless morons in the college town I work in.

The real fun at DU begins after someone like a Cruz or Trump wins and becomes President and the DUmmies turn on each other and start hurling blame bombs about which camp was the reason they lost the election.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
