for real tho I'm glad we've got someone on the ground confirming for us that Bernie's campaign is the only one taking this caucus seriously and trying to turn out voters instead of sitting on their asses in the caucus locations hours ahead of time for whatever reason.

Looks like a mock caucus mainly measures which campaign's supporters treat politics like a LARP while other campaigns are out working on turning out for the real thing.

One thing that gives me hope this time around is the near-total death of the "vote lesser of two evils" argument. Not a single non-affluent non-financially-comfortable or privileged person I know or have talked to buys it anymore.

Main Paineframe posted:I don't think it really matters who anyone in this thread caucused for, unless you're planning to hurl a bunch of insults if the answer was "not Bernie". They can say it if they want to, but if you just can't read their posts without knowing their candidate preference, then you should probably just put them on ignore rather than endlessly hounding them to demand an answer over and over again.

Trabisnikof posted:What error and how? He's making a joke about the patrick/steyer votes being added by editing the vote totals he posted earlier in the thread. It was an okay joke but for such a serious subject it's to be expected it wouldn't land for a lot of people. Like I got it and it was just okay. On another topic, I like how some people automatically treat anything requiring a nonzero amount of coordination or planning as conspiracies or conspiratorial thinking, and treat it as though it's ridiculous on its face that a group of people with shared goals and interests could ever orchestrate anything or capitalize on chaos to take actions favorable to those goals and interests. Like, conspiracies exist y'all. They happen. If anything, automatically disregarding even the mere possibility of any kind of coordinated action is sheer idiotic lunacy. e: basically this, too Lemming posted:The only justification you could have for not seeing that this thing is completely loving transparently election fraud is if you're in denial about it and don't want to accept we live in a fake Democracy

Solkanar512 posted:Distrust the DNC and the IDP all you want, they deserve it. But don't fall into those patterns of assuming that everyone is out to get you without evidence and don't lie about the support of your allies because they want to see some evidence first. We're all on the same loving side here. Nobody's doing that, we're reacting to the mountains of evidence that's laying clear as loving day before our eyes. Don't fall into patterns of assuming that everything that would require coordination on the level of "talking to each other and agreeing on a shared goal" is conspiracy nonsense to be automatically dismissed, because it makes you look like a cartoon ostrich with your head in the sand.

PepsiOverCoke posted:My point was that if its right to make fun of/mock them for claiming that Bernie was "RIGGING THE CAUCUS" with satellite precincts, then its equally right to make fun of/mock Bernie supporters who said Pete was "RIGGING THE CAUCUS" by winning a few coin flips and/or some rural areas or somehow hax0ring an app. False equivalence. But why do you care so much about this if you support Bloomberg? You should be looking ahead to Super Tuesday.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Is "momentum" really a thing or just a buzzword? Are people actually changing their votes based on that? A not-insignificant number of people like to vote for a winner. Winning also changes how various prognosticators read the tea leaves to figure out how future contests might break, and a not-insignificant number of people pay attention to these fortune-tellers, and vote based on things like "who's leading on 538" Momentum is a real thing. It's not everything, but it can't be ignored either.

Maybe if Cheat Buttigieg didn't want to be called a cheat he shouldn't have tried to steal the Iowa momentum at every possible opportunity! Now he's just going to look like a big idiot that would be easily steamrolled in any but the lily-whitest of districts.
