This election does have the wildcard of Bloomberg, though. I hope people start realizing how big of a piece of poo poo he is sooner rather than later.

My parents and their boomer friends love him because restoring decorum to the White House is the only thing that matters to them.

I'm glad Bernie's winning, but the margin is like 7 percentage points off on all the major polls, something like that? How come the pollsters can't stop sucking?

Bloomberg has the backroom power and money to probably get to a brokered convention, at which point the superdelegates will have to decide whether they want to destroy the democratic party or not.

Either way, the left wins - but at the cost of another four years of trump while that 12 year climate deadline looms, it might destroy human life on the planet. Kind of a bummer, depending on your thoughts on the matter.

Tulsi has been raised in a Hawaiian cult called the Science of Identity that believes that some white guy who lives in Honolulu is the literal incarnation of God. The leader is obsessed with being accepted by the wider Hindu community as a legitimate form of Hinduism as opposed to now where its seen as a cult because its core belief is that some white dude in Honolulu is the literal incarnation of God. Tulsi's entire presidential campaign is based around creating legitimacy for herself and then by extension legitimacy for the Science of Identity organization. This is also why she's so anti-gay and anti-Muslim because guess what two things extremely large portions of the writings of the guy they think is literally God is devoted to decrying.

None of this is a joke btw.

Yeah were it not for the collapse of all life on Earth this campaign would actually be really heartening for me. Young people are united in wanting the kind of change that can actually help the world. It'll be a shame that by the time they can really make their voices heard it might be way too late.

That makes sense. It's kind of a weird election where it's Sanders running against a bunch of placeholders for "not Sanders", and undecideds are acting more or less like just another such placeholder.

Even if we miss that deadline, things could always get worse, so we need to always fight to stop things from getting worse. Thinking of it as instant doomsday if we miss the 12-year deadline is counterproductive to the struggle, people get overwhelmed and give up. If we've locked in +3 C, we sure as poo poo don't want to find out what +6 C feels like :unsmigghh:, so let's not get all human-extinction-acceptance-y if the world still runs on fossil fuels in the 2030s.

So. NV. Ratfuck rat to first or try again with "victory doesn't matter"?

with the way 2nd thru 5th choice early vote ballots will affect the final alignment, it's going to really matter 1. how many early votes are cast, 2. which candidates are generally viable / not viable from first-choice early votes, and 3. who the 2nd/3rd pick is for early voters whose 1st pick isn't viable

I have some posts about this describing the process in the Iowa thread, if you're interested

but it's going to be a loving poo poo show, and I have no idea who's going to win, but I suspect that Bernie will benefit by being generally viable. klob may just benefit more if she is also generally viable

Nevada is weird. polling has Bernie in the lead but Biden close behind?

I'm still trying to find a way to gently wake people up to the fact that Sanders is the compromise candidate, and if we don't pass a strong green new deal in the next four years, the Sunrise Movement will transform from a nice youth led protest movement into Full On Climate Maoism by 2030

Nevada's the first state that isn't hyper-white so its going to be the first test of how POC react to the various candidates.

i've read that nevada is expensive / difficult to poll accurately, so we'll probably just see a few well rated polls before they caucus
