Why would Karl Marx be smiling over a center-right asshat beating a self described democratic socialist?

I believe that's a cartoon from the Obama-Clinton race, back before the GOP realized that Obama was actually Muslim Hitler.

Create a weight out of a heavy chunk of wood and place it on top of the blade. This will make the blade fall faster and make whatever you're going to cut go under more pressure, causing it to split.

Point of order, adding weight to the blade doesn't make the blade fall faster. :science: C'mon, revolutionaries need to know their stuff.

Wouldn't it, though, assuming some degree of resistance where the blade presses against the edges of the upright? Greater momentum would mean it more easily overcomes any friction there, right?

He's a fake one, more or less. One of his sons apparently is, though.

Anyways, looking forward to caucusing for the first time in MN tomorrow night, should be interesting and hopefully not a total clusterfuck.

An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time.
Unsuspecting pundits no warnings, no signs.
Judgment day the second stumping arrives.
Before you feel the bern you must die.

Forgotten voters, conform a new faith,
Avidity and lust controlled by hate.
The never ending search for your shattered party,
White working class in their own reality.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Strange endorsements.
Impulsive retweeting.

Establishment sons begat your cunting pollsters,
Ratfucking mothers with your bisexual fathers.
Political dynasties condemned for all eternity,
Obtained by immoral observance a golden haired deity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Strange endorsements.
Impulsive voting.

On and on, Super Tuesday [x 4]

The root of all evil is the heart of Clinton's soul.
A force that has lived all eternity.
The never ending search for a truth never told.
The loss of all hope for truth of Benghazi.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Strange endorsements.
Impulsive retweeting.

On and on, Super Tuesday [x 4]

Me too, not worried about a crowd though since I'm caucusing for Trump and this area votes over 90% for Democrats.

It's pretty easy to get a gun license in NYC. You just have to not be a whiny baby who quits when they don't get one right away.

Note that a significant portion of that early voting in GA is for the Democrats, most likely due to the "souls to the polls" program to vote after church, which would mean it's mostly older, black voters.

The number of Republican ballots cast was 260,443 — 242,609 in-person and 17,834 by mail-in absentee. The number of Democratic ballots cast was 156,663 — 148,142 in-person and 8,521 by mail-in absentee.

So 62.4% R ballots, 37.6% D - I guess that qualifies as significant

looks like the turnout disparity pattern continues

there are elections where the party with increased turnout in the general wins, i assume. i think 2008 is an example. i found an article saying 1972 and 1988 were counter-examples, where the losing party had higher turnout in the primary. the least wrong theory in that article was that the out party, the one that hasn't had power for a while, is more likely to have increased turnout than the in party. that would bring 1972, 1988, 2008, and 2016 together - and it would render primary turnout essentially non-predictive, absent some further argument with additional supporting data

hrmery

edit: i tried for however long separates the post time stamp from the edit time stamp to find equivalent numbers for early voting from 2008 but i Failed Miserably
