/r/SandersForPresident actively brigaded the poll, so it isn't accurate but there are reports of CNN censoring pro-Sanders comments. It would make sense considering Time Warner donated $87,835 to Hillary's campaign .

This is why Reddit was turned into the shithole it is now - it was competing with that propaganda machine and had to be assimilated. Controlling information is very important to powerful people.

Empire_of_the_mind

Too many people have moved to internet sources as primary. The majority. Cable news, nightly news, and the NYTimes are less powerful do to this competition.

Time Warner owns CNN. Time Warner is Hilary's 7th biggest financial supporter.

un1ty

Meant for those too superficial to actually read the articles, watch the debate, or otherwise research further and that instead just look at headline quips.

Youdonotnome

thats the majority by a long shot

Typo -- not "news", we haven't had objective news reporting in years.

Someone tell that ugly ho to close her mouth gotDAMN

Why do some American people like Hillary? I mean after a decade of declining wages and increasing wealth inequality I imagined people would be more sympathetic to socialist ideas, but after each election in western countries they move to farther down the right.

NotAnUndercoverCop

So, when are we gonna start dealing with these lies and the liars that tell them appropriately?

aakaakaak

Normally I just write you guys off as a bunch of crazies, but this is just too blatant to ignore. Everybody had Bernie winning, everybody. This is crap. The media is crap. The government is crap. It's all crap. I may as well move to China where at least I know I'm being oppressed on a daily basis.

So... what would yesterday you say of today you upon reading this comment? Maybe you should ask tomorrow you, oh wait, he'll probably be crazy... right? hehe, welcome!

Peglius

Maybe you should reconsider who you think is "crazy"

aakaakaak

The Fappening was an NSA leak

Yeah, no. No chance of that. Maybe a bit less crazy in some aspects, but not completely sane either.

Peglius

ok bud

sec

how sad.

The media does this shit all the time with literally every story they publish, its just obvious this time. The media is corrupt and I would argue the biggest problem in America today. They don't exist to tell you the news or facts, they only exist to serve you propaganda that derives from the centralized elites agenda. They want to mold your brain and form how you act, and they have it down to a social science. They know exactly what theyre doing.

Youdonotnome

i don't think they know what they're doing at all. the fact that these polls show up, and vanish, and people notice, and comment, and get deleted and silenced, and go crazy on forums like this, it shows that whoever is trying to control this shit... they're a bunch of fuckin idiots. running around like headless chickens. trying to figure out how to control 400 Million people that are just as smart as them.

Spear1000

No way man, they know exactly what they're doing, they just think were all really really really dumb. This shit has worked for them in every election probably going back 20 or 30 years, unquestioned. And now, out of nowhere, people notice and are pissed. Its because its a new era, one of alternative news sources like Reddit and VOAT where people can report and talk about the corruption. Before, there was no such think so it all remained contained. This is why the media companies are pushing hard in the TPP negotiations to have it illegal to even post the title of an article or link to an article from a major media site, because they want to shut down the alternative internet news sites.

You can't possibly be surprised, I don't think this even qualifies as /v/conspiracy criteria.

The same thing happened in Mexico. Hillary Clinton is Enrique Peña Nieto, and Donald Trump is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The story is the same. Hillary is going to win the election. ;) politics are great!

Voluptuous_Panda

Can we get a link to these posts? I'm having trouble finding the polls besides the Time poll .

Warden

You know who I think won?

Me because I didn't sit through a boring-ass debate.

deathcomesilent

I did. I am full of regret. Whore thing was a shitshow. Sanders did seem to kill it though, I'm sorta surprised they gave him as much screen time as he did, even if they did censor him.

CarlosShyamalan

I guess there will be other, non-internet polls, too? Looking forward to seeing these, since online ones might have been influenced by young people generally favoring Sanders over Clinton.

On another note : The way I see it is that there can definitely be a discrepancy between what the public thinks about the winner and what experts think. A lot more goes into that than just how loud the audience applauded or how good they reasoned. For example Chafee made some good points about climate change, but the reason he (at least I think) by far lost the debate was because he couldnt talk properly and was too stressed. Clinton definitely showed tons of poise and could articulate herself very well while not giving into any of the differences between her and Sanders. This doesnt mean that everything (or anything really) she said made sense, but in a way that can still mean that she won the debate.

Think of the argument that Paul and one of the other dingusses had during the GOP debate, after which everyone on Voat and Reddit claimed that Paul clearly had won because he made the better arguments, while experts were united to proclaim him the loser because his rhetorics were weak and he was not energetic enough.

That all being said: its still the people who will vote for the president (I think/ hope/ assume/ dont really believe anymore) and not the experts, so in the end while "winning" this dabate (which Im not saying, just that the polls dont prove that she didnt!) she might still end up losing votes over it.

It doesn't matter what us plebs think anyways.

at this point

I like, /v/ActualConspiracies for stuff like this. You know, actual conspiracies.

nice!

exactly what they did to Ron Paul, soon we'll be looking at funny trends in the early primaries votes!

... and just to remind people how that went down. Watch this and prepare to become enraged, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_WBo4sfmi4

Empire_of_the_mind

They did the same to Howard Dean, and Nader, and every one else who challenges the power structure. It's to be expected.

What's different is that this time the corporate media probably doesn't have the power to sway people.

carlip

Good thing they don't have to.

SolarBaby

Perhaps forgetting to include include his name or picture in poll results at all, and putting his results next to Criminalton's name and her results next to his, etc.

CipherEnigma

What the fuck is Criminalton? We get it, she's a criminal and a Clinton, move on.

glugglug

Obvious ministry of propaganda is obvious.

Mr_Quagmire

It's obvious to anyone who's paying attention. The problem is that 90% of the public aren't paying attention.

Empire_of_the_mind

the same people who aren't paying attention to this aren't reading the news, anyhow. None of this matters until January. Sanders failing to go after the email scandal was a mistake and an example of why I don't think he'll beat Trump.

SolarBaby

A big problem, indeed. Pretty soon they will figure she is the winner because they've been told she is. Eventually they will vote for her because they think everyone likes her when in fact nobody does. She is being installed as the next ruler. I hope I'm wrong.

slampisko

they will vote for her because they think everyone likes her when in fact nobody does

That, and she's a woman, which is the only thing some people need to cast a vote for her .

SolarBaby

Oh god she is such a monstrous creepy freak. She looks and acts completely psycho. As far as people voting for her for alleged womanhood, that's the most sexist thing ever. Just like voting for Obama only because of his race is ridiculously racist. Call me crazy but I'd prefer a president who is wise, intelligent, judicious, knowledgeable on law and respects the country's founding principles. Color and shape mean nothing except in the land of Idiocracy.

RedLeader

You probably aren't.
