Joe Biden is a demented man who is an active threat to everyone. https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1224320131419058176?s=20

The difference between Bernie's situation and Corbyn/UK Labour's situation is that Bernie is a good politician, whereas Corbyn is a terrible politician. Evidenced at least in part by the fact that one's approval ratings are good and the other's were historically bad. Also Brexit was an almost impossible issue to overcome in the last election.

All these sore loser articles coming out ahead of the Iowa Caucus make me hopeful that Bernie won't just win, he will annihilate the competition.

I don't think the results of a parliamentary election is some minor European country matter at all to the US primaries.

Nothing makes me more depressed than knowing that the fate of billions of people and the freedom (or lack thereof) in the american sphere of influence hinges entirely on a bunch of midwesterners gathering in a mediocre school gym. PLEASE WIN BERNIE PLEEEEASASSAEEEEE

I hope so. Hopefully leadership has some internals or something that show Bernie way ahead, so they're trying to set expectations to the moderates.

I wasn't anxious at all going into the midterms. The Dems had a constant near double digit polling lead. It was more a question of how badly the GOP would get washed in the House. If Sanders had a double digit lead in every state it'd already be over.

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. They should rank the states based on how their population represents the US as a whole, and go in that order.

If the primaries were ranked in order of how closely they represented the entire US based on age, median income, racial background and education then the first four states would be Illinois, Kansas, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.

Grouchio posted:Then the 2019 UK Elections reaaaaaally are loving with my brain. it's important to remember the UK elections were a hopeful thing, Labour was always behind in the polls to begin with, the crushing bit was how far behind they turned out to be. Sanders is up and caucus systems are terrible but they DO favor candidates like Sanders with passionate fans and all. Don't be complacent but also it's okay to have hope.

"Votes" themselves should be replaced with corncobs. Those with access to more corncobs get a larger say in who wins. Legal ownership of the cobs is not required, just run into the fields and start picking

Really looking forward to people remembering there's voting happening and Kramering into the thread to remind everyone about the Jeremy Corbyn guy and how people were hopeful for him, remember that, huh? Do ya? And double looking forward to the indignant huffing when those same posters get told that the two elections have no material circumstances in common unless it turns out Iowans have strong opinions on Brexit. TulliusCicero posted:Biden's brain is s melting popsicle Girls are crazy and PMS amirite fellas?!?! He's trying to talk about the difficulty of raising young girls transitioning into teenagers but he's Biden and doesn't think of women as people so he ends up talking about it in the cringiest way possible.

I read a suggestion, which makes sense to me, that DC should have an early primary. It's more diverse and solidly Democratic, as well as urban, unlike Iowa and New Hampshire. Plus, having to actually spend time in DC campaigning and talking to residents might make the candidates more aware of its needs and concerns.
