2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Twitter Just Unleashed on Hillary Clinton and It Is Savage [View all]wyldwolf
(43,891 posts)82. no you didn't, you employed Bernie Math. DENY this with links:
* Clinton has won the female vote in every single primary except three Sen. Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, where Clinton lost but still was nearly even with Sanders.
* In every single state where exit polling was done, Clinton over-performed among women, meaning that she got a higher percentage of female voters than the individual primary electorates as a whole. That's true even in states she lost to Sanders.
* Further, in almost every primary state so far, Clinton has captured higher percentages of the female vote than she did in those same primaries in 2008, including in states that could decide the general election. In Virginia, for example, Clinton took 39 percent of the female Democratic primary vote in 2008, and 70 percent this year. In another swing state, Florida, Clinton's share of the female primary vote went from 54 percent to 70 percent. In Nevada, Clinton went from 51 percent of the female vote in 2008 to 57 percent in February's caucuses, and in North Carolina, she improved from 43 percent of women voters to 59 percent this year.

Indeed. They can brush it off with their "3 million votes" false equivalency

It is a false equivalency because caucuses don't tally votes, but delegates

History says losers fall in line, what risk is there that any Clinton outreach will be unrequited?

This thread illustrates perfectly why Trump stands a reasonable chance of being our next President.

Wasn't this hashtag a response to the (far less popular) one calling for Bernie to drop out?

But surely, those demographics are just as sexist and racist as the rest of the Berniebros?
