I mean just look at the map, all the rural Pete heavy ones and all the cracker stuffed suburbs and exurbs got counted and then only enough of the Bernie ones to make it seem legit

Great pigeons are not born great. They grow great by eating lots of bread crumbs.
So typically if there's 62% reporting in a race and it's very close between first and second they will wait a bit longer to call it, especially if it looks like many of the outstanding votes in the remaining areas look good for the 2nd place candidate.

This time around they hand-select the 62% that looks best for Pete, Pete is barely ahead in terms of delegates, and even though the remaining areas are strong Bernie areas they just call it for Pete.

Like, even if the failing app and the vote transmission chaos was pure incompetence, the part about the partial vote count is sheer, deliberate wrong-doing.

I would never abstain from voting. I'd be proud to vote for la Riva if Bernie doesn't make it, but hopefully he runs as an independent if staying in the dem primary is untenable. Bernie's not gonna have any trouble with the democrats though.

50K would get you a pretty great life where I live, but I take home like 20K and I have a semi-decent local government job with a higher-than-average-for-the-area wage.

if the ratfucking succeeds, definitely turn out and vote downticket and get involved locally to make sure good candidates win, that stuff does good, and you also get to walk into the voting place past the Pete or whoever people and tell them you're voting for Bernie Sanders for President

ya but those areas don't offer the social amenities that is pitched as part of the middle class lifestyle anymore

maybe in the 80's but the only things in media now that portray something close to what it's actually like to live like you work for a living is Shameless and Bob's Burgers

If Bernie is ratfucked out of the nomination, it's better that Trump wins rather than letting them steal the presidency like that. It annoys me to see people being criticized for being honest about that rather than going with this wishy-washy protest vote stuff.

Bernie's not going to get ratfucked out of the nomination if we don't let it happen. Focus on the task at hand.

I'm with Bernie because I want his policies to be enacted, and if he's not nominated they won't, so the only point of my vote or lack thereof is the optics

Edit: Should clarify I'm not saying to vote for Trump. Just to not vote. If it even comes to that. Bernie is still the most likely nominee

As a middle class white straight male I will absolutely vote in functional opposition to trump. I won't help others suffer. Nothing is dumber than a protest vote. I won't need to worry about it though as Bernie will be the candidate.

How are you so sure Trump is worse? Tell me, someone who truly hate the motherfucker, what have the democrats done that set them apart?

They voted to give him more money for his wars.
How many of them became pro lgbtq just because it was polling well?

Yeah, I'm down for not voting, third party, or writing in. I'm not voting in a way that helps out the loving apocalypse blood tide. Just because Trump also hates the DNC doesn't make him my friend.

Hey so, I try to be the guy who says please vote blue because Nazis are worse, but hey. Chill the gently caress out on that right now. Let people be loving angry at this bullshit. This is somehow even worse than 2016.

The DNC is proving every single conspiracy theory against them to have merit. Every single thing they’re doing right now is the worst possible optics and decisions. People are pissed and allowed to vent about how stupid, pointless, and utterly broken the DNC is. This has been building for years and people are being proven right, but the worst kind of right. The kind you wish you weren’t. And it sucks.

Literally everyone except maybe one or two posters know this. And as I discovered years ago here, it seemed every person who lives in a battleground state still voted for Hillary in 2016. Pretty sure we’re all loving aware how bad another 4 years of Turmo are. Everyone knows RBG is dying and won’t last and then we’ll all be royally hosed. We get it.

Still pissed. It’s still rigged, and right now there’s no loving way you’re convincing me to vote for Sneaky Pete. So stop. Come back in 8 months if I have no choice. (And even then, gently caress off because I live in CA where my vote wouldn’t matter anyway for pres).
