Remember Hillary supporters, the Donald is counting on you!

Stay in denial! Keep moving rightward and pushing a flawed candidate with one of the lowest likeability ratings of any candidate ever that will not get enough people interested in voting for her! Luxuriate in your establishment superiority! And don't forget to build fallout shelters for when the orange-haired nutcase you help elect starts a nuclear war!

p.s.
If you don't give the people a reason to come and vote, they won't.

p.p.s.
This is based on another OP I saw. I did not come up with this on my own.

policy and attacks on the establishment by shouting false things repeatedly are just not going to win here.

Neither Bernie nor Trump fare well against Hillary for this reason. Voters are not that stupid, it's why she has so many millions of votes more than either, and why all the pro-Trump poutrage from some minority of Bernie supporters (who clearly weren't very progressive to begin with) is just more silliness.

Words mean things, even if you don't like what they mean. Same thing with facts and math. Rejecting it when it says things you don't like is not ... healthy.

This could be the year.... You may not be sure of what he says. But can you be sure of what she says when you can see what she's already done? Example: Free Trade. And there are more issues...where the Third Way is vulnerable.

so they really don't have a finger on the pulse of just how much fear and loathing is being stirred up in PoC communities. Donald Trump will barely be able to hold on to all the traditionally red states, much less be competitive in the battleground ones.
