It's astonishing that they're no longer even hiding what they are, yet so many people don't seem to care nor is the media holding them to account.

Or, at the very least, putting garlic in their mouths and a stake through their hearts.

in like every state the uncontested Republican primary has received more Trump votes than the leading Dem specifically because they all love Trump so much, the notion that he's unpopular is bitchmade poo poo for idiot losers, he's literally the most popular President among his base in like 100 years, dumb rear end libs have no loving clue since they're like mental babies who are unable to process anything in terms of the real world

They might strategically prefer to lose an election than see a permanent entrenchment of mail-in voting. If 100% of the country had mail-in voting republicans would probably never get a majority again without a major party realignment

well that's why IF such a thing were to ever happen (which it won't), it will be a temporary, one time, hopefully-never-to-be-attempted thing

i mean, if you think about it, why would they try to hide it at this point? any facade of humanity the republican party had was torched the moment they accepted trump at the nominee. almost anybody horrified by what that texas governor is saying is more than likely already not a republican. so i'm sure they figure, "why the gently caress not?".

I have a feeling that Republican efforts to prevent expansion of mail-in-voting will severely backfire.

Normally the logic is that suppressing mail-in ballots means only more dedicated people go to vote, and they bias Republican. Seniors are among that group.

But this next election we might be in another pandemic wave in November - seniors will be way less likely to go vote unless they can mail it in.

i think i read somewhere that a study done where they found out mail-in ballots are neutral in terms of advantaging democrats/republicans. so the gop is fighting mail-in for no other reason than they think it will cost them the election, but who cares if people die from it, as long as they weren't gop.

Australia is an island surrounded by murderous fish, populated by murderous spiders and birds and with vast swathes of the land uninhabitable. We Brits then decided to put other Brits on the island and see what happened. Consider it a lesson well learned.

That includes activating new voters. The 40% of eligible voters that dont vote in presidential years aren't wise gurus waiting for someone with Correct Politics to come along. They have all the problems of the other 60%, and are likely even less informed on average.

Lots of new voters were activated for the Dem primary, and they voted Joe Biden.

There were a lot of stories of 'I spent months convincing my family member to vote for Bernie, and then at the last minute they cracked and voted Biden'.

A lot of it really comes down to the news media being absurdly biased and not presenting Bernie as a legitimate option unless forced to.

Y'know, I'd been reading/repeating this sort of thing too, based entirely on some Super Tuesday Sanders staffer tweets, so i looked at exit polls where they asked if someone was a new primary voter for a few states:

SC: Biden +7
Texas: Sanders +13
Virginia: Biden +10
California: Sanders +19

I couldn't find it for most states, maybe some other goon has more patience.

Seems the effectiveness of activating new voters was inconsistent, and if I had to guess, related to the size of the hispanic community in the state.

the ratfuck did a hell of a job in getting people committed to turn out for Bernie to change their mind, I have no idea how we break these people of following Maddow's lead. Something like 70% of Dems have an absolute and bedrock faith in legacy and cable media, it's horrifying that they'll vote for somebody they don't like in the least just because the smiling people on TV say that dude's more electable, and never even stop to think about how being declared "electable" by MSNBC and CNN is historically a kiss of death
