I legit hope he drops out. He's dangerous to the left and must be kept out of power beyond the mayorship.

No we want him to stay in. He's taking MUCH more support away from Biden than from Bernie. The guy who needs to go is Yang.

Yang should go, but we need Warren out right now.

Yeah that's the ideal. Take Warren out so Bernie has the entire progressive lane to himself, destroy Biden's aura of inevitability, and sets up Buttigieg to massively eat poo poo in Nevada and South Carolina.

you want as many establishment candidates to stay in as long as possible so they cannibalize each other's support base, like the 2016 republican primary where the party couldn't unite behind a not-Trump candidate

warren and yang dropping out is the best for bernie

This, but swap Warren for Biden. He's our biggest obstacle and if he gets humiliated in the early states that will go a long way.

Yeah that's a fair point too. I dislike Yang, he just didn't have as much scrutiny as Buttigieg did.

mcmagic posted:

They really should keep this talk about stealing the primary on the down low at this point.

This isn't what she's talking about. At this point, they're counting on realignment after the first round to buoy Biden, because they're expecting people who support dead-end candidates to jump on the good ship NotBernie. You're seeing stuff like this because they're afraid that the Sanders campaign is going to play up first round vote counts.

That said, they're all really loving bad at this and are making statements which literally sound like "it doesn't matter what voters want."

Knocking on doors in small town Iowa is both hopeful and depressing. They will talk your ear off on how great or bad any candidate is. You ask if they are going to caucus....and they say nah.

Its like you have this once in a lifetime chance to shape the future but youd rather sit in your lazyboy and complain than take the smallest amount of effort to stand up for yourself or your family.

here in Alabama that’s most people I know in my personal life including family

they have all sorts of strongly held articulate political viewpoints with real personal connection to their lives that they’ll talk your ear off about but when it comes to actually voting on them? nah. they laugh it off. a lot of people have an almost self conscious aversion to being perceived as “caring” about anything, much less actually participating. anybody that’s grown up poor or in communities like this particularly I think in cultural places like the south knows how pervasive that gently caress it, whatever man attitude is.

idk what you do with that, in my life I’ve tried every combination of structural argument and every tonal strategy from gentle nudging to friendly ribbing to buddy buddying to trying to ignite outrage to outright bullying them and no matter what or who the moment they realize they’re going to be expected to do something or take a stance they just turtle. i don’t think there’s much you can do with people like that except do your best and hope they’re really bored on voting day or something.

we should probably be getting a result soon from the crucial swing caucus in Tblisi, unless they keep it under wraps

edit: of course it turns out, they are in fact keeping it under wraps. but maybe someone leaks it, who knows

This is from Super, where even Vegita eventually learns to take pride in other people, and is powered by that to defeat a destructive nihilist who has traded away his morality for the ability to destroy. He also gives his power to Goku, as it was time to vote (super saiyan) blue, no matter who.
