Classic Comrade posted:mentioning him is fine obvs but ugh it's a fine line between having his campaign be a part of the thread, versus that basically taking over the thread. blehhhhhhh  So! Going back to our conversation about criteria for progressives, I've seen these proposed: -Get big money out of politics. It is detrimental to our democracy and citizens united is a major cause of that. Also anti-corruption. -Climate change is real and is the biggest threat we face. It must be addressed with strong legislation to stop the path we are on. -The right to vote is sacred and must not be tampered with. What we have seen in Arizona, New York, and other states is a detriment to our Democracy. That must be fixed.

docbeard posted:Eh, voter suppression to me implies something more willful and malicious than simple bureaucratic incompetence. But it is kind of a fine point, since bureaucratic incompetence that prevents people from voting is bad too, and arguably harder to address. You could consider the suppression the willful and malicious intent of /not/ fixing recognized bureaucratic incompetence. The action of willful inaction is still an action.

Oh, here's another link to candidates. Don't know how good it is. I noticed it lists someone running in my state that's withdrawn already. Oh my gosh and this one, too!

look i just feel like placing closed primaries in the same category as poll taxes and literacy tests is absurd. it literally tells you, right next to the party boxes, that you need to enroll with the party to vote in their primary. you have to actively choose to not vote in the primary. again, i think open primaries are better but this is hardly mt. everest here.

I found a lot of the pointless, non-content posts to be hilarious. And the off-topic conversations were the best part of the thread. Spending 3 hours talking about 90s and 00s nostalgia in an election thread is kind of the greatest. I didn't know GrassrootsSelect had its own website. I am an idiot.

Women's Right's stance? There's a lot of little things that need to be addressed that can be brought up without invoking the Terrible Dread of Feminism. Equalizing pay in the gender gap should be looked at, for example, and perhaps tampons and sanitary napkins should not be taxed and classified as a 'Luxury Item.' And there's the whole thing about not defunding Planned Parenthood, I'm looking at you Branstad you ignorant gently caress!  And let's not forget about the Bathroom Bill epidemic. We need some vaccines for that poo poo.

if you want a bernie thread you can have one (at least as long as the primary is going on) but that also means that this particular thread has to roughly stay on topic
