Try as I might, I can only find a single difference between 2016 and every presumptive nominee since

1984 when Super Delegates began AND were included in all reported totals.

The only difference I can find is our presumptive nominee is a woman.

even though there was a guy who didn't vote for the war running, and even though Clinton had a more liberal Senate record and lifetime of activism than Papa John did.

Such people (e.g. Susan Sarandon) would be hypocrites for hating on Hillary so much, right?

It wouldn't matter who is running against Hillary, if they were a man, their campaign would be accused of sexism and misogyny.

The ideological balkanization is quite disturbing. People have the ability to only hear the facts they agree with, and many choose to do so.

Hell, you have people are on DU that are proud that their use of the ignore function has effectively filtered out all opinions they disagree with.

Only a single difference.....really?

This is simply not believable in any way.

This is the difference you are focused on.
