    This is propaganda to get Dems to stay home. Every election since trump’s been around has had the same bullshit

      Yup, it’s the exact same propaganda trap that Hillary’s campaign fell prey to. Leading up to the vote with her and Trump, a large part of her campaign messaging had basically been “we’ve got this, he’s an idiot, he has no chance, he’s such an awful candidate.”

      And then about a month before the election, there was a hard pivot when they realized they had lulled their voters into a false sense of security. The messaging suddenly changed from “we’ve got this” to “oh for the love of god, please go vote.” But it was too little, too late.

          Not as many as Hillary supporters went to McCain after she lost to Obama, so maybe drop the tired blaming of the left for the center’s incredible ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

          And this isn’t by a little bit, 24-25% of Hillary supporters voted McCain compared to 6-12% of Bernie supporters voting Trump. And that’s not even getting to the fact that Bernie was an outsider candidate who likely attracted people who wouldn’t otherwise identify as Democratic voters. So get another fucking argument, I’m fed up with this bullshit.

          I’ve met a couple of these idiots. They have little understanding of how government works and are very populist minded. In each case they were seeking someone who would “shake things up”.

      I just commented this elsewhere, but I’ll hijack this comment to post it again:

      Do NOT let this information let you get complacent. He may be unpopular, but the idiots who love him WILL GET OFF THEIR ASSES TO VOTE. The only way to beat him is if everyone who hates him ALSO GETS OUT TO VOTE. Saying “oh nobody likes him, I don’t need to go vote, he won’t win anyway” is exactly how we got him the first two times and (partly) how he keeps getting more power
