Let's dispel the notion that caucuses are fun, they aren't fun. If you find them fun, become a politician because your brain works differently than mine.

Radbot posted:I think it's hilarious that progressive Democrats aren't going to take the literal perfect opportunity to run a progressive candidate, and will for some reason put Clinton up against a Trump. Great job Clinton caucusgoers. Naked fear is sad to watch, but you can be sure progressive democrats will find a way to manifest it every single election.

None of them stood a chance of winning the presidency, including Rubio. The GOP primary remains a sideshow.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Obviously he won't be arrested for inciting anything lol at the thought. But the complete success of this protest is going to inspire more against his rallies, especially in big cities. It helps big time that this didn't get violent and the police didn't find an excuse to crack down. He won't be arrested, but that makes you wonder--how far would he take it? How far will he take it? Nationwide riots won't exactly hurt his numbers...

I'm really okay with lots of people not knowing this is a prank. It's not like Trump voters can distinguish between fiction and reality anyway, or would get turned off by an armband. I'm halfway expecting them to unironically adopt it.

BlueBlazer posted:Prediction. Cruz blackmails the establishment GOP into giving him the nomination over trump because he would have to give up his delegates to do it. He would let it burn down. I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a party boss. Cruz is in my face trying to sweat me, emitting grease through his pores. I feel like I'd be tempted to say "gently caress it" and let the party burn.

spacetoaster posted:I really just don't like people excusing violence with: "Well have you heard the things he/they are saying?!?!" It's a fascist movement. We don't have a lot of recent experience with it in this country, but one of the things people have learned is that responding with extrajudicial force is appropriate. People have to make this choice of course, not the government. The government is forced to deal with fascism as though it were a legitimate system of policy and ideas, to be afforded the same respect as all others, and not as the virus it is.

GreyjoyBastard posted:Yeah, and I am hugely supportive of the crowds that went "you know what, that poo poo is hosed up", showed up in sufficient numbers where pummeling them was not an automatically winning proposition, and ultimately blocked a Trump rally with only very modest, reasonable, and organic levels of violence. The Chicago protestors, imo, hit about the right note. I'm annoyed with the media (surprise) for really trying to pin down Democrats on "but isn't it wrong when EITHER side uses violence??" as if the violence was proportionate in any way. Amusingly, Clinton seemed to respond to that question with a lot more passion than Rubio.

GreyjoyBastard posted:Related question, do you (or anyone else here) have any summaries of the violence at the Chicago rally being not proportionate? I talk politics with a few non-Trumpist Republicans who aren't entirely sold on "well I, GreyjoyBastard, watched a lot of videos and the Trumpists usually started the physical poo poo", and they ain't about to watch a bunch of videos themselves. No, see dammit this is the media's job. They're the ones who have the resources to do lots of interviews on the ground, and give due weight to the ratio of eyewitness reports and even venture to state the obvious.
