fool of sound posted:Hey, the general election thread will be going up soonish, but in the meantime, the rules on talking about the general are in abeyance. Electorialism is also going to be inevitable. However, focus your arguments on candidates, not posters. Do not accuse posters of being Trump lovers in disguise for voting Green or whatever. Do not accuse posters of wanting minorities to be slaughtered because of their choice of candidate. Do not accuse posters of being pro-rape or anti-science or whatever else. Criticize candidates and campaigns. Post "Biden is a senile creep who supports X policies that harm the poor", post "The Greens pander to idiot anti-vaxxers, here's the proof", post "I think that in the long run it is better to vote Dem/not vote Dem and this is why", ect. Put arguments on trial, not posters. The Iowa caucuses are on February 3rd! That's next loving Monday! This primary we've been obsessively following for months and months is finally getting started! New thread! Thread-specific rules, some of which are probably redundant now that the main D&D rules have been updated, but I don't feel like going through them right now:

With the impeachment trial most likely wrapping up the total sham it was inevitably going to be, time to kick this into full gear and say something really controversial... Bernie is gonna win and kick Trumps rear end

So please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I'm understanding about the first three primaries right now: Iowa: Nobody really knows, it's probably going to be one of Biden or Sanders, and which it is will depend largely on if the expected increase in young and first time caucus goers pans out or not. NH: Bernie is going to win unless the polls are completely hosed. Nevada: If Bernie wins Iowa and NH, the momentum could swing Nevada his way. Otherwise it's probably going to go to Biden. Super Tuesday: Unless a candidate (again, probably Bernie or Biden) manages to sweep all three of the above and build enough momentum to look like the clear front runner.

Obama won Iowa despite Hillary leading; Kerry won despite Dean leading; Santorum surged (lol) even though Romney was polling ahead; basically nobody fuckin knows

Can you correct Warren's bit? She's not Harvard-educated. (Just was a Harvard Prof.) She's a Rutgers grad. Is my pointing this out petty? Yes. That said, people who live by braindead credentialism should die by braindead credentialism.

Sydin posted:So please correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I'm understanding about the first three primaries right now: I am cautiously optimistic about Super Tuesday based on the latest polls, but so much is going to happen between now and then. Also, South Carolina is one of those things, and it's a relatively safe Biden state.

Biden’s staff won’t even let him take questions on Social Security anymore, he’s just handing out a leaflet with talking points on it to any member of the press that asks about SS. THIS is the man that the MSM thinks is best equipped to take on Trump.

Rooting for Sanders on Monday. I'm currently playing the Tom Steyer drinking game. I bought a good bottle of whiskey last month, and every day I go home and check the mail. If I have a campaign flyer from Steyer, I don't have a drink. The bottle is still sealed.

I remember 2015. 2015 feels so, so long ago. Decades ago. I can't believe we're actually only a few days from the Iowa primary.

Also trans people are a fairly diverse community. If your trans-identifying interviewer is a random shitlib there to rubber-stamp your appointee as having some sort of official trans person approval that's not going to help anybody.
