After Bernie wins Iowa, can we get "Yeah, good. Ok" as the thread title?

On the one hand, I'm glad the Klobocop stuff is coming out to curb the threat of Klobmentum (and more importantly reveal how terrible she is). On the other, I hope it doesn't hurt her too much so she can still dilute the centrist vote a little longer.

First election at '08 here and in the 1% of millennials who have voted every major election since eligible. Even though I was never enthusiastic about either party, I still believed it was my civic duty (like a dweeb). Never found either party appealing, but I knew Republicans were a dumpster fire enough to vote against them whenever possible. The one and only time I purposely voted R was for Ron Paul (yeah yeah, but he was anti-war/surveillance). I knew instinctively Dems were mostly full of poo poo, but couldn't really understand why until I started getting exposed to leftist critique in the past ~5 years. By default, I still voted D because at least they weren't openly hateful and anti-science. I still never registered Dem and didn't like going by labels, as liberal and conservative were the only choices I knew. Now, I happily would label myself leftist, and if the leftist wing takes control, even register as D. Bernie is the first politician whose intentions and ability I actually believe in. He's the first to get me to donate abandonedly and even go out in public to support. I wish I had looked more into him in college, when I first looked up how many independents there were in congress and he made a blip on my radar. Mostly for the hipster cred, but also to have developed my ideology sooner.

This could only hurt Bernie if Kerry goes after him, and poof, there goes the critical people-who-give-a-gently caress-what-Kerry-has-to-say vote.

So how does the viablity stuff work? Like if a candidate isn't viable at one precinct by even one vote, they just lose all those potential votes (likely to someone else)? Even if the precinct next door has them well above the threshold?

Wicked Them Beats posted:Since actual Cherokee people were telling her she was full of poo poo as early as 2012 and she responded by calling them GOP operatives, I would suggest the benefit of the doubt should not be extended. I've heard about this in several places, but can't seem to find a source. I don't doubt it, but I'd like to have a legitimate article handy in case I ever get into an argument with a lib.

oxsnard posted:I think the surprise tomorrow will be Yang and Sanders turnout. Hopefully Yang gangers go to team Bernie. I'm a little concerned that anyone still in the Yang boat at this point would even consider changing their vote. They might just leave, after being told for like the 50th time they can't still vote for Yang. Which raises another question. Can enough people leave that it pushes a candidate who was under 15% to viability without even gaining extra votes?

Thanks for this! Ugh, it's pretty gross how libs just handwave her whole controversy as nothing, racist attacks by Trump notwithstanding.

Paradoxish posted:He's worse now, but he was always bad. People fell in love with a character created by the Onion, but real life Joe Biden is a gaffe machine that never managed to get anywhere in previous runs because he repeatedly sticks his foot in his mouth. It still blows my mind that Obama picked ol' Uncle Joe as his VP after he said some racist poo poo packaged in a compliment. Like he couldn't have picked literally anyone else? In more positive news, Barbara Lee tweeted this a few hours ago: https://twitter.com/BLeeForCongress/status/1224153030691577857 I could see her endorsing Bernie if the next few weeks go well.

Awful CompSloth posted:I just had a bad thought. What if Warren wins Iowa. That controversial poll had me a little worried with her sudden bump, but I think she's more likely to lose votes to Bernie than the other way around. Bernie will probably be viable at every precinct, but Warren's support may fluctuate depending on the region.

How many people are at normal caucuses compared to these satellites? Is it possible to get inadvertently screwed over if too many of your supporters go to these small caucuses and dilute your showing at the others?

Listening to AM radio on a whim while getting my lunch, and it's wild. Some lady calling in from the rich part of my county going on a rant that Bernie will bring about communism and nobody will be able to have fast food. Hope I can find a recording of that somewhere.
