Just an observation

[mac2766]

This evening when I navigated to the DU homepage. I noticed something that I have been noticing recently. The sheer number of posts with subject lines with the word "Trump" in them far outweighed the number of subject lines with the word "Clinton" in them. I do think I need to add that Obama at least got a solid 1.

I counted 38 Trump to only 8 Clinton.

And, the really sad thing is that issues don't seem to be subject matter. It seems that nearly every post related to the election is negative in context and not at all issue related.

Again. Just an observation.

1. The issues are well known here. The story is clearly the implosion of Trump's campaign .

[Johonny]

2. When Trump became the nominee

It was well known this was not going to be an issue election. Bernie worked hard to get issues into the dem agenda at the conventuon because he and Hillary knew the election wasnt going to be on issues aftet that. Trump cant run on issues and GOP have no place to go against Obama who is riding high on popularity.

3. Your concern is noted.

4. Do you think that...

...we need to convince each other that Clinton stands for us on issues? I know her policy stances and I know she stands for me, what is it you need to be convinced of? Pretty sure the news is all aghast about Trump imploding, are you surprised that there would be frequent references to that here?

[mac2766]

5. I guess..

I guess I'm saddened by how deeply immersed we are in the negative.

[jcgoldie]

6. saddened?

We have a great candidate. One of the most qualified candidates ever to run for the office. She's an expert on policy and she has a great personal history and more experience in more parts of government than anyone who has run for president. The opponent is such an asshat that even though a large percentage of the population is caught in the patriarchal past, we are looking at the opportunity of a landslide victory. "Saddened"" is not how Clinton supporters feel at the moment. What are you?

[mac2766]

13. Ah.

Sorry. I voiced an opinion.

[CentralMass]

11. I'm a Bernie supporter, but this is the end game. It is decision time.

There is no point arguing issues on this side. That battle is over for now and we got what we got. The only battle left is beating the other side. Debating issues with Trump's sycophants is like pounding your head against a wall.

7. Hillary Clinton on the issues Link here:

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

She graciously mentioned it at the end of her winning debates!

8. I guess you haven't been following the news recently. Try reading some of those threads.

9. The more this election is about Trump the more likey

He will lose. As Democrats, I think we already understand where we and Sec. Clinton stand.

15. Was this comment necessary?

I don't think the OP suggested that sexual assault and rape culture were not a huge concern.

Just that there is more discussion about Trump than Clinton on a message board devoted to Democrats and getting them elected.

[bettyellen]

17. Absolutely necessary. The discussion of sexual assault IS an issue- despite the confusion of some.

So it bears repeating.

[oberliner]

18. Of course it is

But I don't think the poster was saying it wasn't.

[bettyellen]

19. Wrong - the OP said the OPs were all not "issue related" so there's your disconnect-

How could you not catch that insult to women?

[oberliner]

20. Maybe you read something into that which wasn't there?

I mean, there are definitely a lot of posts that aren't issue related.

[bettyellen]

25. Gas lighting bullshit! My favorite kind.

[oberliner]

27. I don't understand this response

I just didn't think that the OP meant anything about sexual assault, but it is certainly possible that I misunderstood. I didn't mean to cause any upset, I just wanted to say that I also think the policy-related posts are better than the horse-race ones (which is what I thought the OP was saying).

[bettyellen]

29. Well Lee reading the third paragraph over and over again till it sinks in, LOL.

They are clearly saying the secularly predatory behavior is NOT a real issue. Anyone who claims otherwise is trolling.

[obamanut2012]

22. Yup abolutely necessary

Too many outside of DU want us to SFTU about this. How dare people also try it on DU.

[oberliner]

24. OK

I just think I read the OP differently.

I thought they were saying there is not enough talk about Hillary.

[oberliner]

14. Well-observed

He seems to be all anyone wants to talk about - even here!

[Dem2]

16. Agreed

I try not to use the name when I remember. Subhuman filth is a good substitute.

[obamanut2012]

21. By your logic, if a bully gaslights and bullies, ignore it

And, BY YOUR OWN WORDS IN YOUR OP sexual assault isn't an "issue."

lololololol

Your concern is noted.

[Blue_Adept]

23. Welcome to every election on this site since the beginning

[Cakes488]

26. And if you go to the opposition sites it's all about Clinton and it's negative...

[JoePhilly]

28. We're enjoying watching Trump get his ass kicked.

Hillary is better on ever issue.

Discussion of issues ... over.

[astral]

30. I agree with the OP.

This isn't the place to find out what Clinton is going to do or how she's going to do it. Is her campaign based on only what's wrong with Trump? Do we get to hear about what are false about his accusations againsst her? Or, is what he has done wrong important and what she did wrong unimportant?

I would love to see workable health insurance for all and her talk about 'debt-free' college would be great if it was something anybody could manage in our nation's current economic situation, but I do not hear anything about the how-to's about anything.

This not only would be and could be, but IS a place undecided people come to find information.
