OMGVBFLOL posted:what is this surrender bull shite. nobody is even close to a majority yet, the narrative that biden has won is being desperately pushed. bernie is behind but it is NOT over You'll know when it's over because either Bernie will be the nominee or DNC types will stop frantically tweeting that he needs to withdraw.

It can not be stressed enough, and I should maybe even be using a stupid clap emoji every other word, but: The primaries are not over. Over half the country still has yet to vote. Get your absentee and mail-in ballots, get them loving yesterday, tell everyone you can to do the same and pass the word along. The DNC is absolutely banking on their ghouls to die for Biden while everyone else stays home.

I wonder how the state with the most delegates this month (Ohio) being a state with just absentee ballot voting, no in-person stuff, is gonna affect things. The other 2 non-Wisconsin states (Alaska and Wyoming, both with a small amount of delegates) are also no in-person as well

National delegates. You know who picks the nominee if Biden doesn't get a majority, or drops out, or dies? National delegates. Anyone who's worried about Them stealing the convention has absolutely no excuse: go to your county party's website, contact your county party, become a delegate to your state convention. Campaign to become a national delegate. Save democracy. Save the world.

It's also why I continue to support Sanders in general not really campaigning, just raising funds for the healthcare workers and functionaries. I expect his campaigning arm to light up again once the delegates start meeting and hashing out an agenda though whenever that is decided to go forward in the summer.

National delegates. As a (state) delegate, aren’t you beholden to voting as you’re told though? I guess you get more power in the national, assuming it makes round 2, but otherwise?

ManBoyChef posted:That is heartbreaking. There is lots of coverage about the victims of police brutality (or at least there used to be) but very little about the shockwaves and aftereffects on families and communities. It is not uncommon for family members of victims to fall ill or die because the grief of losing a loved one plus dealing with all the attention and pressure and stress can knock you down and you can't get back up. Erica Garner was left to shoulder the burden of keeping her father's name alive (including conflicts with her father's wife over who was his advocate), fighting with NYC and the federal government for justice, trying to find her own way in activism, while also navigating the larger nonprofit/political world where plenty of people and organizations were happy to trade on her notoriety in order to use her as an attack dog or a firebrand but very few were willing to make a way for her so that she could take care of herself and her family. She did an interview not long before she died talking about how she wanted to get educated and be a journalist and be an advocate for people who came from similar circumstances as her. It should've been easy to set her up with a scholarship or some nice entry level writing gig somewhere but nobody did. IIRC she was tweeting about housing difficulties and trying to come up with subway fare not long before her second heart attack. Just bleak all around. I hope her children are being well cared for.

Apogee15 posted:The idea is that maybe no one gets a majority which means it makes it to the 2nd vote. only around 15% of total delegates in the second round are supers (and not all supers are evil, just lots of them), but yeah, the reason we need delegates is in case Biden doesn't get the majority or doesn't make it to the convention, and also to influence the party platform and the 2024 presidential rules even if you're bound as a biden delegate (which, again, is imo the correct strategic choice for goons who can stomach it), you're not bound to support and advocate for his policies, and we can try and make President Ocasio-Cortez's 2024 run that little bit easier. edit: https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...3288_story.html quote:“If Bernie remains in the race, he will undoubtedly be over the 25% threshold necessary to get enough members on the Rules and Platform Committees who can fight for our vision of a progressive party,” said the email, which was signed by Larry Cohen, board chairman of Our Revolution. Inferior Third Season posted:Biden getting an outright majority is nearly certain. We want delegates in place in case he drops dead or his brain turns into so much pudding that his team pulls the plug on his campaign. If that happens, the first round becomes a free-for-all. as i recall the rules don't actually cover that eventuality lol the rules committee would have to make a decision (unbind the bound delegates, decide whether supers get to vote on the new first ballot, etc), and is almost entirely made up of... convention delegates! sort of; right now it's made up of DNC types Waltzing Along posted:I went to the DNC website to register as a delegate in CA. I can't do it as I am not registered as a democrat nor will I ever register as a democrat again. Oh well. yeah rules and deadlines vary which is why i'm pushing people to do it now, in case they still can but their time's up next week or whatever thanks for trying

I think in Texas you have to be a state delegate to become a national delegate. It's what I'm doing, anyway.  I guess technically you could bug the national delegates as just a rando citizen but it probably helps to actually be a part of the convention.fake edit: some national delegates are elected at the district level, some are elected at-large i'm not completely up on the district election process yet (but i better fix that lol), but it looks like at-large election takes place at the state convention.
