In reply to the discussion: Sanders Will Win, Despite Rigged Debate Schedules, Skewed Polls, and Clinton's 'Inevitability' [View all]modestybl
(458 posts)For well over a month now, national polls show Sanders doing as well or better than HRC against all the major GOP candidates... yet you'd barely know that by the coverage THAT fact has gotten.
True, national polls are highly volatile, but that is the info we have, and it has been consistent. HRC supporters have this mistaken belief that Sanders would definitely lose in the GE, and the HRC is the stronger candidate... by any evidence we have, that is NOT TRUE.
Sanders has more supporters than the Donald, yet gets 1/31st or less of the coverage. People up and down the political spectrum are disgusted at the system that HRC's candidacy thrives in. Sanders calls it out, the corruption, the money, the utter lack of representation that for the vast majority of people.
HRC defends Wall Street. And the corporations, so naturally all of the networks are quietly (and not so quietly) rooting for here. Fortunately, we have other outlets.
It will be difficult, but not impossible.
