It means: Waah Waah, my guy isnt winning so there must be some conspiracy, because otherwise I would have to accept that my view is not that popular and I am not the base.
Reminds me of hockey fans, I’m one by the way, who cannot understand why sports call in shows rarely talk about the sport. They do not understand that because they like hockey, nobody else does. It takes real self confidence to understand that your own likes and dislikes may not be the same as everybody else’s, and be cool about it.

I voted yesterday. At 5 pm I was voter 46. Last night there were other posters telling the same tale. Voter turnout was very low. There is no enthusiasm.
