nelson posted:Even Bernie and Warren together didn’t rise above 50% so that’s kind of wishful thinking that Bernie would have done better in 1v1. The reason he was in the lead was he had a plurality vs a bunch of centrists splitting the vote. What about in Nevada? 56% 47% in california, 46, in Washington...

Zamujasa posted:I don't. Absentee and mail-in ballots are far more accessible and (arguably) less prone to voter disenfranchisement bullshit. Any value in demonstrations like that pales in comparison. to be explicit, i think there should be easy availability to early voting, automatic voter registration, mailed ballots from any early voting location in the country etc, but election day needs to be a thing

Ague Proof posted:Ok, just to clarify I was not wishing death or sickness on these people. That never crossed my mind until I read your post. I'm just appalled by blaming (young) people for not voting when there's a pandemic. Understood on what you meant vs what it first read as to me. And it's a continuation of blaming the youth that's been the trademark of all of those that are supporting more 'centrist' views and candidates than anything even approaching progressive. The big challenge with postponing unfortunately is how resistant many elements of our system is to sudden and rapid change, for good or for ill.

The notion of a national holiday seems hilariously far-fetched at this point. Half the game of politics seems spent disenfranchising the other side’s voters (although this seems more predominantly Republican lately).

+2 for Bernie in far suburban Chicago. No waits or anything, and it was mostly dead when I went in this morning. Literally no covid protections at all either, though I think one of the election judges had one of those little hand sanitizer bottles, so that's something? I brought my own pen and touched as little as possible, so here's hoping I didn't catch it.

How are u posted:Get Trump out of office, then do this. All you folks who spent the last year yelling about how only Bernie can save us from climate change somehow simultaneously think that 4 more years of Trump is NBD all of a sudden. Joe will be better than Trump on climate change, there is no reality based argument otherwise. tbf COVID probably bought humanity an extra year or two

The race is essentially on pause with the news being 24/7 corona virus, and rallies not happening for a long time. The DNC just doesn't want to have to deal with the fact that they probably have to push back the convention.

Raskolnikov38 posted:The DNC is a full 5 weeks before the RNC, theres plenty of time to reschedule it and not kill a million people They are going first because the eventual nominee needs more time to get a full campaign operation up and running. Trump on the other hand has been in general election mode since last year. The primaries SHOULD be delayed, and the convention will almost certainly need to be pushed back, but I can see why they are hesitant to make that switch.

They're sending threats, open threats, they aren't negotiating. They aren't hesitant to delay the primary, they're full steam ahead with no negotiations or regard for public health.
