Young people are who carry him in polls. What I saw was that, according to the entrance polling, the same demographic was weakest in turnout when it came time to actually caucus.

yes but lets be fair, the caucus is a great way to turn off most people from participating

Well technically, being in my early 30s, my lovely generation turned out equally poorly and also broke heavily for Bernie

Well you didn't turn out "equally poorly", you two and me are all literally the same generation.

Dixville Notch actually makes themselves a cake celebrating their vote? Jesus guys, I hate to break it to you but the rest of the Nation doesn't actually care.

Edit: Cruz and Hillary win Millsfield. New Hampshire is tearing themselves apart.

Kaisich now in 3rd place in the NH Rep primary.

About half the "population" of Dixville Notch is hotel/resort kitchen workers, so of course they bake stuff.

What's so terrible about Jill Stein?

Her party is full of bad people who may be well meaning but are completely misguided. Make your protest vote an actual socialist party, or hell, write-in Lenin's Corpse.

Why isn't there any exit poll data available yet?

Because it's not even 1 PM and the vast majority of NH people ain't voted yet. The three areas tat vote at midnight aren't representative of when everyone else votes in the state.

NV is a super-young state, is it not?

Sorta, but the white people trend older there.

Does anyone know why there's still 17 precincts not reporting?

one thing that might support my lil' assumption from the last few posts i made itt - a district with more non-voters is more likely to provide a new democratic voter than a district with fewer non-voters

i don't have the data here right now and i'm done doing math tonight but im inclined to think that higher turnout% correlates with higher romney%. but gently caress it. buttfuck it

one problem is that many districts with high non-voter rates, it's because of policies that make it really hard or impossible to vote for many of the non-voters. as such, even if you could get them to try to vote, they might not be able to!

like the most egregious example is banning voting by people ever convicted of a felony:


Incidentally, this tends to mean that a rural areas where prisons go get to count all the prisoners towards district apportionment, but the prisoners can't vote. which is kinda like how slave states could count slaves towards apportionment.

He wants the USPS to offer banking services, so that's a start?

this is a terrible idea so long as the usps is expected to operate with minimal tax funding, to be honest. it's quite high risk, and should only be done in conjunction with ending the pseudo-seperate operation it's been under since nixon

Retail banking is a high risk industry? What are you smoking?

the retail banking industry is low risk precisely because they, legally, can refuse to serve high risk customers. banks are almost entirely free to discriminate against people by refusing to give them an account. creating a postal bank is intended as a means to open up having banking accounts to everyone, and that's a higher risk.

on top of that, the usps is currently expected to take care of almost all its expenses through revenue, because of the stupid decision to take it almost completely off taxpayer funding in the 70s.

if you make it a full part of the government again that can freely receive taxpayer funding, then the risk incurred from the banking stuff goes away, and making it a postal bank the way many other countries used to have makes sense.
