wow only 5,000 came out in support of getting money for free?


91,000 people voted for nader in 2000. Id say he's underperforming among his own far left fanbase.

I hope this isn't meant to be a real post.

It should be noted that there is frequently a large difference between those who have an intense base of support and those who have a large base of support.

No insult meant to Sanders or his supporters, but at this point I'd say he is the film equivalent of a 'cult movie.'

Well, I love a good cult movie. Quite obviously.

One problem for Sanders is that he has little support outside the Latte Liberal left wing activist crowd. Obama was able to fuse together the activist base and added on African American support to win the primary. It was a close run thing, he even lost the popular vote.

Blacks and other minorities appear to be sticking with Hillary. Sanders will struggle to break out of the activist base. Atlas and Daily Kos are not even remotely close to the average Democrat.

Depends what tabulation of the popular vote you're looking at.

I agree with what you've said here for the most part though.

Yea Florida and Michigan broke the rules , but to be fair Obama would have lost Florida by maybe around 55-45 and Michigan by a similar margin as well. Both were good states for Hillary demographically.

Those losses still would have given him enough votes to win the nationwide popular vote though, I believe.
