What is a satellite caucus?

Applying a bandaid to a system that sucks instead of using another system.

Everything about people on social media making fun of that Warren person pretty much highlights the problem with caucuses, barring (perhaps?) the app-based caucus that I plan to try this year. I should be able to file a vote in a democracy without risking becoming a meme.

Some real presidential material here. I particularly like the part where he stops to talk to the reporters and the person guiding him starts pulling on his arm to get him to keep moving.

I'm curious what factions of the right actually understand leftist politics? Neo Nazis seem to get the difference between liberals and leftists, though they couldn't actually articulate any of the doctrine.

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.

and this is why polling in Iowa is utter bullshit. They love to talk about candidates, they don't like to show up to an empty school on a Monday night for hours.

No one is concerned about his ability to walk, but the fact that his campaign has decided that he needs to be literally dragged off so that she doesn't speak to reporters.

I got the impression it was more of a "keep a hold of Grandpa before he wanders off" sort of deal, not that he couldn't walk.

This is from earlier but as a Brit, the UK left got truly heartbroken by the last election for various reasons, it's not that we think the situations are comparable as such, but that we've been super badly hurt.

big turnout for the klob at a surprisingly large satellite caucus full of snowbirds. 148 people pre-registered, so the actual # is probably a bit lower than that. bottom line is amy likely won this site

i think this reflects his lack of any discernable field program. these satellite caucuses require organizing to get people to go to them, and he didn't do any.

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.

Offer to take them out for lunch then stop by your voting place and be like 'just gotta run in real quick, c'mon we're already here it'll take 5mins'
