Please help in the online polls its important!

Iv literally been going to site to site and it seems like an uphill battle. I know we all saw the same debate and there is no question hillary won. But optics in this election is very important. Believe it, theres going to be a lot of people who might go to time.com or slate. or cnbc or any of these major sites and seeing trump winning the debate 60-40 70-30 in trumps favour is going to make it seem like he won the debate.

and you know damn well that fucker is going to boast about it all over hes twitter. Yes online polls are scientific but time.com has almost 1 million votes. That is a shit ton of people. Please post any poll that you see to all supporters so that we can win this battle online.

I know it seems petty but i refuse to give an inch to this idiot. We have to win every battle. Any poll that allows me to vote multiple times i do it. The important part for me is that independent poeple or poeple who are only tuning see that we are pushing back.

No TRUMP is NOT leading in early voting in florida!!

Do you know why that is? because early voting has started yet in florida!!! i swear i need to sit out this election i cant keep arguing with these right wing trump idiots. I honestly feel like im losing brain cells. There re-tweeting the same bs about Florida releasing its absentee ballot requests using the 6 point difference and writing that in the articles as trump winning the early vote count. You know i honestly dont blame the twitters because its easy to get misinform about your candidate and running away with it. BUT HOW the hell do the right wing publication go with this crap. i know briebart is a multi million dollar company. Do they have not one single fact check editor working there? Finding out when you can actually vote in Florida early literally takes a 5 second google search. sigh..

How reliable is the La times/usc poll ??

Im usually on twitter arguing with right wingers. As i feel like if you cant contribute by canvassing then the next best step is to donate and win hearts and minds online or atleast fight back agianst the attacks on hillary. Anyway was arguing with this guy and he kept claiming how the latimes daily tracking poll is showing a huge trump lead when it was tied just a week ago or so. I told him it was a bullshit poll and its not reliable and i could show him a dozen polls that show opposite.

The issue is though he claimed it was a model that the rand corporation came up with and they did it in 2012 and it was one of the most accurate polls in that election. Is this true? anyone familiar with this poll agency or model? i dont want to post the link to the poll encase it is some bs poll but wanted to get some thoughts on it by people who follow the polls and nate silver more closely then i do.

Jill stein at 4 percent in polls is going to kill us

Especially in close states like Virginia, North Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio.

The truth is 90 percent of the votes jill stein is getting would automatically go to clinton if she wasnt in the race. For example in michigan a poll came out with clinton in a 3 point lead. Basically within a statistical tie. Jill is getting 4 percent of the vote! if you take her votes and add them to clinton even in this close pull it would put michigan out of play.

This coupled with trump voters turning out for him we could have a close election of just 1 or 2 points in critical states. If we automatically give up 4 points to stein we might lose these states like Colorado and Nevada etc.. We have to find a way to get jill stien out of this race. After the Mr. Khan incident hillary had moved into a solid 6-8 lead in many of these states so even losing a few points to jill would not have made a difference. In a very close election they can make all the defference.

I dont understand someone who claims to be a progressive like Jill stein can be okay with literally being responsible with putting trump in the white house. i truly cant comprehend this.

Dear Hillary, You do the best you can. I will have your back in november.

Dear Hillary,

When i saw the video this morning. I didnt see a political candidate or someone if who didnt win would mean terrible things for me on social media when the cons would be rubbing it in. No i saw a grandmother.. i saw a mother whose family's heart must have stopped for a second when they watched the video. Sometimes it feels like people (especially those on the left) just see you as a political pawn. one of the things i enjoy doing is when i get on twitter and read your tweets on your profile i see grandmother on the left hand side. It always reminds me that you have a little precious grandson that you lights up your life. That you are trying to create a better future for him and all across this land.

YOU do the best you can. If 68 years of having to fight for the rights of the people in this country wether short or tall, black or brown, white or not , you have given to much of your self in the service of this country. If your body has had enough just know and i say this with tears in my eyes that its okay if you cant do it. Im so proud of everything you have accomplished and done and i see you as a humane being. You do the best you can, because i know you will. If you arent feeling well and you still get up everyday to fight for us and this country is enough for me to have your back 100 percent. I will be here today and on november rain or shine proudly voting for you as long as you ask for my vote. Because you have it dear hillary. you have it with all my heart. It didnt start out that way as a bernie supporter but it will end that way in November. But no matter what happens and if you arent there on november just know you have not disappointed me one damn bit. You give him hell for as long as you can. But if you CAN, please beat the living day lights out of trump on election day (at the polls not phsyically lol) and become the first women president of this great country.

Making the deplorable comments then regretting, is not good strategy

I'm not sure who is advising her on this but this was a mistake. I saw the comments late last night and i expected a fight on twitter and comment section of news articles this morning (this is my way of fighting off the trolls who bash Clinton. I make sure i make my daily dose of pro Hillary comments in yahoo articles, politico, news websites, to counter pro trump idiots)

but what i found surprising was although there was an avalanche of anti Hillary comments and it wasn't a pretty sight by any means there was also A LOT OF us Hillary supporters and although out numbered we were putting up a good fight pointing at all the racist shit he sais. Bringing to light what hillary said was right and there is a lot of trump supporters who are nationalist and racists.

Then Hillary apologized or regretted or whatever and that took the wind out of my sails. Then the people i was arguing with are basically like " why are you defending something your own candidate is apologizing for"

I think the decision has to be made either we draw a line in the sand like she did last night and go to war with these racists and show the MAJORITY of the country what racist and bigots we are up against. OR we do what we did during the convention in which we countered the darkness from trump that hillary is going to be a president for all people democrats independents and republicans. which seemed to work great as her poll numbers shot up.

Im not a political consultant and ill certainly keep my day job. I know hillarys advisers are much more smarter then me but seeing the avalanche of anti hillary comments on twitter and yahoo comments and facebook has got me down this morning.

Using the word witch to describe hillary clinton

When you know damn well they meant bitch. But these little fucking cowards dont have the guts to use the B word on a public forum because there too chicken shit to post what they actually want to say. i admit i never had to many friends on my facebook page but as of right now im down to 19. I just do not have the patients for this shit.

Honest question - How can people be so blatant so overt when it comes to sexism and mysogyny? I know people deathly afraid of saying the N word. But somehow the words people use against Clinton in reference to her gender is mind blowing.

Dont be surprised if the press turns on clinton soon

i was talking with my cousin the other day and he said when he goes to yahoo news or nbc news or politico etc he sees in hes oponion way more anti trump articles then anti hillary articles and he thought that was a good thing. I told him EVEN if that is the case which im not 100 percent convinced it is. at the end of the day THESE are big corps who make money of ratings. IF THEY SMELL blood about clinton they are going to turn on her. The press and media truely ONLY cares about there ratings not always reporting the truth.
