Every time I see a question in a news headline, I just answer it with "no." in my head and move on. 90% of the time it's the same answer the article arrives at and the other 10% of the time, I'll see a real headline about it from other sources anyway--with the actual lede in the title.

What if I told you it was also about manipulating voter opinions.

Like how the superdelegates were all pledging their votes to Hillary way ahead of the first primaries. Or how the DNC pushed Hillary over Bernie, as was clear in the Debbie W.S. leaked DNC emails. Also, the widespread pressure from party darlings on Bernie to drop out.

Messaging from the media was to blame as well. This was reflected in:

  • Lack of coverage of the polling that showed the better margin of success in a Bernie v. Trump matchup against a Hillary v. Trump matchup. This one is especially egregious, in my opinion, since a lot of the Hillary supporters I personally knew voted for her in the primaries because they assumed she had a better chance of winning.

  • Lack of coverage about Bernie's higher popularity with independent voters in polls.

  • Widespread reporting when Hillary decided to label Bernie supporters as basement dwellers.

  • Hillary accused Bernie of being sexist and the media did terrible due diligence.

Damn intersex people, doing crimes by being born. Let's arrest them immediately out of the womb. /s

Sucks that breast augmentation will be banned for girls under 18. And I assume likewise for guys regarding treatment for gynecomastia.

The party of rAtIOnAliTY aNd lOgiC would know that those are also gender affirming, right?

Don't forget that if we pull funding from Ukraine, the proxy war with Russia will potentially morph into the most peaceful war between Russia and our allies.

The fact that the person representing the choice to act is also giving a WTF, dude face is hilarious.

You'll let us know if they're hiring, right? Right!?

Yep. From a systems analyst perspective, if there's a problem with a couple people, it's because they're idiots. If a lot of people are having a problem, it's a systems issue. In this case, the DNC and their shit messaging.

It's like they hired an intern to do their marketing. They had a few funny clap backs on socials but they didn't actually pivot to appeal to their target demographics. Fucking marketing 101.

Everyone needs to take their anger straight to their local DNC office. Get involved and stop letting the centrist status-quo motherfuckers steer the party from the local levels. I'm also a member of my nearest DSA group but, until there's a viable option for third parties to complete in general elections, we need to hold our noses and trojan horse the Democrats to change them from within.

You've been subscribed to Hoover facts.

I don't even need to fact check this. They do the same bullshit every time.

What's the definition of insanity again? The DNC doesn't appear to know.
