the party in my state got a few interns and an executive organizer guy who are both in their twenties and apparently like omalley which is odd to me.

also our state chair is the son of a literal communist who organized in the jim crow South this state is fukken weird

enough dumb poo poo comes out per week at this point that discussion would largely be what it is now with a small smattering of primary chat here and there.

as is a lot of folks still have poo poo they want to say in regards to the primary but can't because of that dumb loving rule that seems to largely exist as an immediate reaction to hillfolk being confronted with the possibility of having to eat a lot of poo poo after they spent the better part of a year being huge fuckin' assholes.

well, i'm just going based on what i see from twitter (bernie sabotaged hillary, was too mean, etc). the equivalent to reading ha goodman would be if I formed my opinion after reading r/enough_sanders_spam

dnd banned primary chat as well because it's a dumb circular argument only argued by people with nothing better to do. there are no opinions to change it's people arguing past each other and then going back to their safe spaces to gloat about how they owned X

i probated so many people (including a former admin, whom i did not realize was a former admin) for every instance of any sort of salt, pro-hillary or pro-bernie during the DNC because it was finally over and the purge of the Angry People was underway. we called it the Unity Zone because we thought that *finally* all the assholes would leave, which they did

i have never been probed for primary chat in d&d. maybe they banned primary chat for a while after the primary (which isn't a bad idea), but it's not still banned. just here

Even though I'm probably going to get owned for saying this: the 2020 primary is going to be an absolute clown car with everyone from centrists like booker to berniecrats like.....bernie running and this thread is going to be generating takes that could melt cobalt

it usually goes this way in open races (ie, a dem pres not running for reelection).

the upside might be that bad dems are so prevalent--and are convinced that they will win what clinton lost--that a bernie type could end up winning lots of primaries.

but that's assuming that bad dems won't coalesce around a candidate like harris and pressure superdelegates and party honchos into supporting the handpicked bad dem like harris before the bad dem even announces.

here's my prediction for 2020 if Hillary runs again:

hillaryland splits between her and biden/m'om
biden/m'om end up with 10-15% of the delegates
neither Bernie nor Hillary end up with a majority
backstage shannigans for second and third ballots cause a walkout

If bernie gets more than 40% but doesn't win an outright majority MoM people would probably throw it to him

The establishment is still quite fractured at this point (one example is schumer and pelosi cannot agree on messaging or platform) which leads me to believe they will just stab each other in the back while progressives sweep it. In fact I would hot take so far as to say Schumer would endorse bernie over harris. He didn't wait till hills corpse was cold to endorse keith

i didn't read D&D so i can't tell you how it was but c-spam was a toxic wasteland solely from the primary and the rule, which grew out of the DNC speech rule, was just meant to keep the circular argument from forming

I think it's more of that D&D may have a different tolerance on what salt is vs C-Spam,

The casual nature of C-Spam means that salt is often taken far enough to derail a thread for pages resulting in people insulting each other. In the prime days of C-Spam we had more people, with more heated opinions

There's also plenty of modern events we already do that with.


That said, the primaries were a mess and nominating Hillary Clinton was a mistake for the DNC as Bernie Would've Won. This was true prior to 2016, and after November 9th.
Not much else needs to be said about the primaries.
