The enthusiasim level here at DU

[Kaleva]

Overall, the Bernie group has over 180k posts compared to this group which has just over 109k posts. BUT, in the past 30 days, over 4k more posts have been made in the HRC group then in the Bernie group.

1. Letting reality do our talking for us.

The future is wide open!

[workinclasszero]

2. Some of them

must be reading the writing on the wall.

About damn time!

[liberal N proud]

3. The BS ers spend most of their time posting in GDPee and the Video & Multimedia groups

as well as LBN.

But most of what they post are negative against Hillary. They think they can win by bringing her down, not by promoting BS.

[asuhornets]

31. Exactly..They didn't really know why they were for Bernie...just against Clinton....

[Cha]

4. LOL, you made me look @ my posts in the #HillYeah Group

Favorite group: Hillary Clinton, 5913 posts in the last 90 days (88% of total posts)

[Thinkingabout]

5. Yes, we are here a lot, may slow down but some will stay.

And to think so many can not post here.

[Kaleva]

6. Yep, my favorite group is this one!

You have 10 times more posts just in here compared to me in all of DU over the past 90 days!

[Cha]

7. Yes, I post a lot.

Kaleva~

[BlueCaliDem]

32. And we welcome and enjoy each and every one of them, Cha!

[Cha]

34. Oh that's a..

sweet!

BlueCali~

[BlueCaliDem]

36. And the god-honest truth, as well. :-) eom

[Gothmog]

8. DU does not reflect the Democratic Party or the voting population

[stonecutter357]

9. K&R!

[Fla Dem]

10. The paid anti-Hillary posters have gone away.

Their RW bosses don't want to pay them anymore now that HRC has pretty much clinched the nomination. They didn't want her as our nominee; felt they had a better chance against Bernie.

[BlueCaliDem]

33. I believe you're correct, Fla Dem. Those mysterious millions are drying up as well.

That tells me that not all Sanders supporters were necessarily Democrats or Democratic-leaning.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. How do you see this?

[Kaleva]

[Godhumor]

13. Well, I'm paid by the post, after all

Now we're talking bonus!

[Cha]

29. Do you know how much $$$$$$$ I've made from David Brock over just the last 3 months?!

I've posted 6256 times.. and how much do we get paid per post.. I forget? lol

Watch one of the lurkers take this as veracity.

[Lil Missy]

14. There are more of them than there are us. n/t

[savalez]

15. Sounds like we are on a roll!

[Kaleva]

16. The gap is widening

There is now over a 5k difference in number of posts over the past 30 days in this group compared to the Bernie group.

[pandr32]

17. I think more HC people are coming out of the woodwork

It is still largely a hostile place for Clinton supporters, but the tide is turner and the authoritarian control maintained by zealous Bernie supporters is ebbing as they begin to realize that there will be no President Sanders and the "revolution" is a fantasy of an ambitious career politician. Before long they will find some other way to express anti-establishment rebellion that is and always has been typical of teens and young adults--Sanders is just another suit after all.

What is a lesson from this is that social media has provided a tool to help organize people into larger scale groups than anyone has ever seen before. This is something that has the potential to be positive or extremely destructive in ways that need to be carefully studied. Our world is changing for sure.

[Kaleva]

18. Now it's over an 8k post difference

Just as the Bernie campaign has experienced a drop in donations, the number of posts made by his supporters in the Bernie group have declined also.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1099

[Kaleva]

19. Now it's close to a 10,000 post difference between the Hillary and Bernie groups

24,757 posts made in the past 30 days in the Bernie Sanders group

34,462 posts made in the past 30 days in the Hillary Clinton group


What has happened is that the days of many posts being made in the Bernie group have ended. As those older post count days pass the 30 day mark and are no longer counted, they are being replaced by new, much lower post days. A sure sign that the enthusiasm for Bernie here at DU has greatly diminished.

On the other hand, enthusiasm for Hillary remains high!

[liberal N proud]

20. No worries

Once we can post without the fear of being hidden by BSER'S, the mood here will be very enthusiastic and full in support for Hillary.

The BSER'S who remain either will continue to cause disruptions while most will move to support Hillary, the odds of being hidden by jury will go down.

[George II]

21. Interesting - an another thing to point out is that three times as many people trashed...

....the Clinton group than the Sanders group. I guess they can't stand reality?

[Kaleva]

22. Holy crap have the # of posts in the Bernie group plummeted!

For a long time it was pretty steady at about 28k over a 30 day period. Now it's dropped down to 20k over the past 30 days. The Hillary group still going strong, kicking ass and taking names, at +30k over the past 30 days.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1099

While it may not appear to be so if one goes to GDP, I think that this is indicative of fading support and enthusiasm for Bernie here at DU.

[SharonClark]

27. It's dropped because they've taken over the other forums instead

[Cha]

28. Yeah, and some of us won't go in those forums.

[liberal N proud]

23. Most of the BS content is double and triple postings of the same crap. Over and Over again.

Many of the BSers are newer members and by that have more enthusiasm.
Many Hillary Clinton supporters have been here a long time, been through primaries before and know these things have to run a course.

We don't need to repost every story, every BS speech in every forum on DU two or three times.

[Coolest Ranger]

24. Let's face it

they coordinate what they post. One person will post a hit piece then all the Bernie supporters like it so it will hit the front page. Then they high five themselves while we go off line and talk to people physically and with respect.

[SecularMotion]

25. There was a big drop in activity after the Sanders campaign cut staff

Sanders Campaign Cuts Staff After Losing Four States

The Bernie Sanders campaign is laying off hundreds of field staffers after a tough stretch in which he lost five of the last six nominating contests and now has virtually no chance of mounting a comeback to wrest the Democratic nomination from Hillary Clinton.

Though Mr. Sanders has surpassed fundraising expectations, the campaign doesn’t have “unlimited resources” and cannot afford to keep on the payroll a full complement of field staff with three-quarters of the Democratic contests completed, a person familiar with the matter said.

Coincidence??

[JustAnotherGen]

26. She's the nominee

There is no more 'presumptive' about it.

As well - you have not only California coming up - but also NJ. So now two very blue states with a closed primary and a high number of delegates are actually getting interested.

I watched one debate. I tried to watch another (when O'Malley was still in it).

It's been a long season for the rest of us - but I just had three different Sanders GOTV's knock on my door on Saturday and Sunday.


It's interesting now.

[Kaleva]

30. It's grown to a 14k post difference

The # of posts made in the Bernie Group in the past 30 days continues to plummet.
