Hillary Clinton Group:

Democratic Underground has it's Hillary Supporters, sure, but the enthusiastic majority of DU posters certainly seems to to be thrilled about Bernie Sanders. In fact, his numbers kind of remind me of another popular guy around here:

Barack Obama Group:

1. Of course, part of the Hillary Group's problem is they banned everybody that

dared to ask questions about Hillary including supporters. So I guess that would reduce the traffic.

3. The message needs to be tightly controlled

by experienced strategists with access to the latest polling data and donor numbers.

4. I was nearly punted from this group for asking the same query.

Nut yes, I was definitely punted from the HRC screamer brigade.

12. Me too. I didn't know I was on the Hillary group.

9. that's the number that's missing--DUers banned from the sandbox

14. I was banned from the AA group by somebody having a tantrum.

Seriously. I think they punted me for having a Bernie bumper sticker in my dig.

15. it's very much a group-dynamic thing: there's insiders and outsiders,

there's "party" lines that can develop to the point of barring any alternative interpretations or demurral, there's a handful of hosts and other big rollers who may or may not let you contradict them (exception that proves the rule, Theology's rug)

2. It's not just the quantity, it's the quality of the threads!

Look at the groups and see which one has positive threads about their candidate and which is full of meta gripes and groans!

5. ...I love that graphic.

Very cool.

I see Hillary has slowly crept up since April. At one point, Bernie's number of DUers was more than ten times hers.

BTW, I am not a fan of that graphic. Did we learn nothing from Hillary's logo pointing right?

8. Actually he is pointing left with his left hand. nt

10. Will 2016 Be a Re-Run of 2008

With Bernie in the role of Obama? I sure hope so! I think that this enforced silence in the Hillary camp is the biggest sign that she's really scared, and at a loss for what to do. She's caught in a big dilemma between he Wall Street donors on the one hand and the people, who are now older and wiser to the tricks of corporate BS, thanks to Obama, on the other. She hasn't quite figured out exactly how she's going to handle this one, how to artfully navigate the political rapids, dodging the inevitable boulders and obstacles of voter scrutiny. It's a brave new world, Hillary - and welcome to the populist 'hood, where we don't take no corporate crud from nobody!
