Americans don't call rebel groups "jihadists". That name is reserved for terrorist groups.
All the rebel groups have not just political, but also ideological reasons to oppose the regime, including the "moderates". Even though US likes to distance themselves from radicals like al-Nusra, Jund al Aqsa and other al Qaeda affiliated groups who are famous for their massacres of Asyrian christians, the moderate rebels almost always work with them. All offensives in Aleppo in the last weeks for example were led by extremist groups using VBIEDs to break SAA defense lines with "moderates" like FSA taking part in it, its impossible to tell them apart. US is officially funding FSA, but they work and share heavy equipment with radicals, so its really just a word play.
I disagree with the methodology used to claim it affected Hillary more because it doesn't take into account first time voters.
And I hope you're being sarcastic about the last part...
You can disagree but experts found that it affected Hillary more. And how does it not take into account first-time voters when they mentioned young voters favoring Bernie?
And I'm not being sarcastic. Did you protest Obama? If not then save me the faux outrage. Especially considering Sanders spent his whole life as an independent and only went to the DNC when he needed his presidential bid. Hell he used attacks on the DNC when he first started running.

Not sure what the "moderate" means considering no one knows the percentage of the rebels that actually end up being affiliated with extremists. You're just using assumptions here. I'd say the military know and it's classified information that we'll never know. If not they wouldn't be STILL working with the FSA. Do some of the rebels end up being traitor to the plight? Definitely. But to act like most of them are just extremists in disguise is pure assumption. As I said, Russian weapons end up in the hands of extremists too despite them not funding rebels so the "U.S funded rebels thus funded ISIS" excuse goes out the window off the bat. They end up acquiring military equipment no matter what approach you take. You're just making assumptions here about groups that have helped us more than harmed us there on the ground.

Places exceeding their 2012 total early vote:
AZ, AR, DE, DC, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MN, NV, NC, OK, SC, TN, UT, VA & WV
Add +1 for WI (just entered)
TX should be on the list, but I can't confirm statewide exceeds 2012 (it almost certainly does)

Maybe we are interpreting the article differently but aren't they assessing out purged 8% that actually voted in 2012? if that's the case that could exclude 4 years worth off young voters who were not old enough to vote in 2012. On top of that, the deadline for registration passed before Bernie announced his run so that also counts as voter suppression.

huh? I'm asking if you was being sarcastic because hillary or bust did exist. Famously called "PUMA" (party unity my ass)?
You would think Legend H ran over their dog or smth. Like, they really seem to be on the anti-Hillary train the last couple of weeks.
It's super odd especially as someone who has watched CNN from the beginning of this campaign and seeing how they went from reporting pretty fairly on her to completely using every negative headline and topic they can to talk about her. It's strange.
Here we go gorls, the FULL breakdown of early voting in Nevada, numbers and all *popcorn*
JR: NV early vote blog updated: Pesky math shows why even big Tuesday probably can't save Trump. Latino turnout up, too.
Republicans may be right that they can get higher turnout on Tuesday. But that’s what they said in 2012, and Democrats won Election Day by 12,000 votes.
And consider this: Latino vote was a higher than usual percentage of the early vote – more than 13 percent. But many Hispanics don’t like to vote early, and that means many will vote Tuesday, which is a real problem for Republicans. In five of the six highest Latino precincts, early turnout was up from ’12, too.
Last ditch effort? But if she were REALLY trying to win it, she'd send Obama or go herself.

What's making these Obama voters vote for Trump?
Obama literally camped out in Iowa for MONTHS before the caucus in 2008. They have a special affection for him. Obama in general was stronger with midwestern white voters (or really, Romney and McCain were weaker).
