gandlethorpe posted:It still blows my mind that Obama picked ol' Uncle Joe as his VP after he said some racist poo poo packaged in a compliment. Like he couldn't have picked literally anyone else? Biden was an assurance to the old white guys that he wasn't really going to do anything silly like give people health care or hold police accountable or stop starting wars.

ArbitraryC posted:The focus on the first state of a primary really feels like a shortcoming of the general process. I've read a couple pieces around online that are basically "why iowa, well why not iowa?" but they all seem to propose the only possible solution is simply picking a different fixed order. The entire argument is "if not iowa, then who else". And it's like I dunno, we don't do it state by state in the full on election, clearly there are other hypothetical ways to do it. Better still to just shitcan primaries altogether, but with our political system as it is, they're kind of necessary. We need a new Constitution.

So Nevada is having a new early caucus option this year. I’m not 100% sure how it works. Is there any reason to not just vote Bernie and skip the second choice option, or should I pick someone for some reason?

I love that during "Obama's VP pick watch" someone on SA called in a pizza order at Biden's house as a prank. All the media were hanging around every potential pick like they were filming a nature documentary so it actually gave them something to report on when a pizza guy showed up.

https://twitter.com/swalker06/status/1224030176591433733?s=20 That's amazing. But having just come out of the trauma that was the last UK results where Corbyn has similar pictures with similar loads of volunteers, I'm still bricking it.

Awful CompSloth posted:I just had a bad thought. What if Warren wins Iowa. That controversial poll had me a little worried with her sudden bump, but I think she's more likely to lose votes to Bernie than the other way around. Bernie will probably be viable at every precinct, but Warren's support may fluctuate depending on the region.

There is no meaningful comparison to be made here. We're talking different elections under different systems under different circumstances.

Hope is a dangerous thing, yet we will cling to it and believe in it until our last day. I feel like people posting this didn't actually read the UKMT thread. Almost everyone knew the Cons were going to win. People hoped otherwise but basically every poll had Labour significantly behind. How is that anything like the Iowa caucus?

Yeah for us we knew the Tories were in the lead, but were hoping for a late surge that had gone unreported in the polls. It didn’t happen, and we got a right wing government instead.

And that was generally credibly credited to Corbyn failing to articulating a coherent position on the primary politician issue of the day. Bernie has no equivalent.
