I'm having flashbacks to freep in 2008 when there were a bunch of people wondering when the PUMAs were going to show up and save us from Obama.

To be fair, he did make it a lot closer overall, but yeah - anyone who thought he was going to catch up among the black vote was maybe expecting too much.

Yes, because blaming voters, and not the poo poo-tier candidate, for their landslide loss is sure to win the next election.

They're saying Hillary won like 83% of the black vote. On what planet is that "a lot closer?"

Black youth vote was like 56-44 for Hillary in the first exit poll. That's a lot closer than the 65-25 national two weeks ago.

To folks who are still scratching their butts over what happened, don't be surprised. Gallup polls show that Blacks have a higher turnout and are as conservative as Republicans on issues like homosexuality, SSM, and abortion, things that Bernie is openly passionate about. Most blacks don't follow the news from reliable sources. Many have never even been to reddit. Most blacks I know just listen to whatever their pastor says on sunday and they are bought and paid for by Clinton. So in essencen they are voting for their interests if only for these issues since she is indeed more conservative on them.

I don't get it; I wanted Bernie and don't even like Hillary that much, but why are people pretending she's somehow a bad candidate? She's a loving hilariously powerful candidate. It's a real credit to Sanders that he made the impact against her that he did, even if she was clearly holding back so far.

A hilarious combo of low turnout in some areas and high in usually ignored (spoiler: minority) ones, including record level black early voting numbers.

Turns out a long established ground game forged through decades of listening and outreach is actually really powerful... huh.

Whilst farting I posted:

while that's true, sanders excites the youth vote almost as much as obama did. clinton on the other hand does terribly with the youth vote, so that'll mean a lower turnout in her favor

i dunno whether that'll be enough to swing a state or an election but it's not insignificant imo

Except he doesn't as seen by the poo poo youth turnout. He excites a certain subsection of youth (and does amazing with them) but their dedication to going to rallies (and given how dedicated they are I presume those people are voting too) does not make up for the fact that when votes are tallied someone with one ultra-enthusiastic supporter gets trounced by someone with five mild supporters.

This isn't saying that 99% of voters thought only Clinton could handle race relations, it's saying that of the 32% who believed that, 99% voted for her—which makes a lot of sense.

I'm in the same boat. Hell I'm still voting for Bernie on Tuesday. But I recognize that as long as Hillary wins in November the progressive movement will get a bit stronger as the years go on. Elizabeth Warren 2024 come on down!

Any doubts I may have about Hillary are more than compensated for by all the money she's raised/raising for downticket races because I consider that to be the most important thing on the line this cycle, after SCOTUS noms of course

Yep, it's confusingly put together. The actual response to that question was: Only Clinton 35%, Only Sanders 9%, Both of them 50%, Neither 4%

I don't like Hillary at all but I'm firmly in the camp that electoral success for the more progressive party is a good thing that will help make Bernie's policy goals both more mainstream and more achievable. :unsmith:

e: it won't be Warren though, both because of her age in 2024 and because I just don't think she wants it

well this has to be a joke right

hey just incidentally, according to the green papers tracker
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/SC-D
bernie is benefiting from the rounding math. he's only rounding down in 3 districts and the 5 he's rounding up are on average twice as far from the number they're rounding to as the 3 districts that are rounding down

for what that's worth*
