2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum3 million+ votes ahead. 300 pledged delegates ahead. The media didn't decide this. The people did!
I understand this is a hard time, but you do a disservice to the Democratic process when you claim that the media decided this election. The fact is, Hillary Clinton is ahead by over 3 million votes and 300+ pledged delegates and that lead will only grow tomorrow.
No, the media did not decide this nomination. The PEOPLE did. And it's shameful that the people who are now arguing that Superdelegates should overturn the will of the overwhelming majority voters would dare to say the media decided this.
No, the media didn't. We, the people, we, the voters, decided this! And we made history! I am so proud of Hillary Clinton and my country. That glass ceiling now has well over 30 million cracks in it. We'll be adding a few million more tomorrow, and then, come November, we'll shatter it once and for all!
This is the people's choice! Go Hillary!

(9,904 posts)voters are supposedly making the decision, the process is ripe with corruption and its way past time to ensure the legality of it all,
I understand why Hillaty voters believe she already won based on votes already supposedly verified, and considering who still is in charge ahem (Diebold) Bernie supporters are leery of the process playing out in an honest matter,
I won't be glad when this is all over, I'll still be wondering why justice seems to take so long to find any kind of footing in the comfort zone of the game being played fair...
Still, I'm not looking forward to the daily TrumpClinton comedy/drama reruns that will be airing through November....ratings bonanza I guess will lay good dividends for some lucky players...will be mind numbing E Entertainment like interviewing....
Regardless of all that, no Republican at present is worthy of any honest caring vote to ensure domestic tranquility and equality for American citizens😏
That alone ensures who gets my vote at this time, I just hope it will not be a wasted effort....
The Democratic principals need to get a bit more of a steady heart and hand at righting all the wrongs pertaining to our society to ensure fairness fir o e and all and never ever declare that such would be impossible to achieve .....
It's past time we ensure they never again forget just who they were hired on to work for...we can not look away.....

(72,790 posts)The people have decided, and the majority of those who participated in the DEM primaries chose Ms. Clinton.
Democracy.

(9,821 posts)Two issues alone, income inequality and climate, demand fundamental and systemic change. Low-information voters think Trump is a "change" candidate, and rank-and-file Dems think Hillary is the proper defense against him.
People who think and care about these big issues know that American voters have been misled by the corporate system and its media. "The people" ain't what it used to be, or ought to be.
