BREAKING: Hillary Clinton DOWN TEN POINTS!!!!!

[MohRokTah]

That's damned well how all of us should be handling this election, any way.

Fuck the polls, we're down ten points and we have to double down on our work!!!

FUCK THE POLLS, the latest SCOTUS decisions have emboldened the evil right to get out and hold their noses and vote for the fucking moron in an orangatan suit!!!!

FUCK THE POLLS!!! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, HILLARY CLINTON IS DOWN TEN POINTS AND WE ALL HAVE TO WORK OUR ASSESS OFF TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!

IF we don't consider ourselves down ten points in the polls from now until November, this thing could easily slip away.

[MadBadger]

1. Okay coach

[grossproffit]

12. We all need some tough love every now and then. We're all have the same goal.

[grossproffit]

2. Indeed! We can't afford to become complacent.

[madaboutharry]

3. That's what they say when you're ahead;

Run like you're ten points behind. No complacency allowed!

[MaggieD]

4. Yep

[BlueNoMatterWho]

5. Exactly!

The state polls are way too close for comfort.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Fox News says Trump leading!!!

Wow!!

I always believe Fox & Friends.

And they have absolutely no agenda!!

Haha.

7. The Gallup Poll

For the week of October 15, 2012 had Romney beating Obama by 7 points. Three weeks later Obama beat Romney by 4.

[HERVEPA]

9. Irrelevant. Anyone paying attention knew it was an outlier and full of it.

[Hortensis]

34. The pubs follow their leader. Any leader as long

as he wears their label. A sad observation over 40 years is that most conservatives, who may be kind, honorable, responsible and sensible people among their own family and friends, knowingly vote scum and idiots into office when they're the Republicans on the ballot.

[DemonGoddess]

8. Agreed! n/t

[uponit7771]

10. +1, we can crush tRump and grab some down ballot seats too... I agree, play like you're down by

... 10

[still_one]

11. Thanks Moh. Point received loud and clear

[Hoyt]

13. The key is to get our absentee ballots in as early as possibe, and encourage others to do same.

Too much can happen on election day to risk waiting until last minute.

[grossproffit]

15. THIS! Brava! eom

[DesertFlower]

16. i always vote absentee. i thought they

didn't count them till election night.

[Hoyt]

19. It is so easy nowadays. Request a ballot on-line. Fill it in and mail it. No worries of

election day illness, long lines, family event, work, weather, laziness, or whatever interferes with best intentions (and I've been guilty of a couple of those over the years).

[DesertFlower]

22. exactly. i was ill one year and couldn't

get out to vote.

[NurseJackie]

14. You forgot to say "PLUMMETING" or "CRATERING" :-P

[DesertFlower]

17. i'm shocked when i see she's only 6 or 8 points ahead.

how stupid are people in this country? i don't care if you're a right winger, you've got to know that trump is not qualified and could get us into a war. even people in his party are afraid of him.

[leftofcool]

18. Go it!

Good to be reminded of this.

[WhiteTara]

20. My habit...keep a few voter registration forms

in the car. You never know when you will get to register someone.

[brer cat]

21. You are spot on, Mo!

The deal killers are complacency and over confidence.

[eallen]

24. If we squeak out only a narrow victory, they will know crazy has legs.

Trump is the most irresponsible presidential candidate a major party has put forward in our lifetimes.

For the sake of our nation, we need to make sure he loses in a way that makes 1964 look a close match.

[Surya Gayatri]

25. So spot on. Fight like we're ten points behind. Complacency kills.

[itsrobert]

26. Hi

[pipoman]

27. or...in simpler terms....

[hollowdweller]

28. I don't think she has any reason to worry at this point.

People are starting to realize that Trump is making it up as he goes along.

[hollysmom]

30. I agree - a lot of money is flooding into local elections.

educate people to all of them.

[treestar]

38. That's a good point

We have to pay attention to elections other than the Presidency. It seems to be our weakness, one the Rs don't have.

[Betty Karlson]

31. OK - we can start by making up ground with Sanders' supporters then.

Especially the independents among them, who have far less reason to care about a D behind someone's name.

And that means: no TPP, no TTIP, no fracking, no Citizens United, no wars. Police Reform. An end to unwarrented surveilance. Reform of the second amendment. Change, not status quo. Going left, not going on.

And for crying out loud: NO THIRD WAY VP CANDIDATE! NO THIRD WAY DNC CHAIR! NO THIRD WAY SENATE LEADER! If "Clinton is down ten points", then "Third Way has run its course and we need a new direction".

Fair enough?

[cyberpunk]

36. +1

[justiceischeap]

37. I'll tell all my moderate Democratic friends and family

that they don't get representation this time around. The umbrella is big enough for everyone, you know.

[Betty Karlson]

39. The umbrella is big enough? Wrong approach:

it needs to stop raining, and we can make that happen. Systemic change. Your moderate acquaintances will like it too.

Fair enough?

[justiceischeap]

40. This has nothing to do with rain and everything to do with

acknowledging that there is more than one way to govern and more than one type of constituent within the Democratic Party. For example, some of the moderates I personally know didn't agree with most of Bernie's platform. Does that mean they don't get a say in what kind of representative they want because it's not progressive enough for some?

And they would disagree that what you think is good for them is actually good them. They'd say they know their own minds and would like things to be their way--which would exclude most of the progressive strides we've made. Doesn't make them less a Democrat--just makes them a different kind of Democrat (the kind that I see slammed so often on DU but they still support the Democratic Party nonetheless).

[Betty Karlson]

41. Let me explain the metaphore:

if we are to compare the two platforms in a cartoonish way, Clinton's platform (or the DNC's preferred platform, or Third Way's preferred platform, or what have you) could be described as "a big umbrella for lots of different people to find shelter against the rain. Meanwhile, Sanders (or the Democratic Left, or the Progressive Independents, or all of them together) advocated that we can collectively step out of the rain, thus obviating the need for the umbrella. So now we are discussing whether the want a stationary party that tries to maintain the umbrella, or a movement that gets us out of the rain, or maybe a compromise where we orderly walk out of the rain while holding the umbrella.

Because if the young, the restless, the entire left are going to walk anyway, we won't have enough people left to hold up the umbrella.

Fair enough?

[zappaman]

32. CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!11

[Stuart G]

33. SUPRME COURT, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT, SUPREME COURT.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

35. Yay! TRUMP is WINNING!!!11!

Gotta keep that balloon inflated until AFTER the Repugnant Convention. We don't want them to somehow conjure up a different candidate. This one's a classic.

[Her Sister]

42. lol!
