Built 4 Cuban Linux posted:Here’s a very bad new poll to balance out that NBC one The poll was taken by Center for the Political Future, which is a centrist/rightwing thinktank whose director is Mike Murphy, a former republican presidential hopeful. I'd take it with a grain of salt. They also poll the exact same people they did back in October, saying they were trying to look for changes in peoples preference.

The caucus system is dumb as gently caress and I'm legit worried about realignment. I need a drink but I'm at work :-(

Nonsense posted:I should know what realignment means, but in the context of this primary and or general election, I'm a bit more clueless, what would realignment mean here? If a candidate does not meet a threshold (i think its 15%) in a district, their voters are asked to move to a different candidate. My concern is the more moderate candidates voters failing that will likely pile onto Biden or Warren. This isn't a thing in a lot of states and not a thing in the general election, just states that use the caucus system.

I think I give Pete a little more credit than most in this thread. Not in being a good human or candidate, but his route to the nomination has a higher chance of happening than most think. If all the Dem media darlings start shifting allegiances from Biden to Pete that is a lot of free press for him. This primary is going to wreck my anxieties... Already calling out sick from work today (stayed up too late hoping they'd unfuck themselves).

goethe.cx posted:nobody's "won" anything, we still have 40% of the results out there in the ether I know, but just for arguments sake the 62% trend continues. Or maybe Bernie even gains a bit more. It still kinda looks like itll be close enough they'll both walk away with the same amount of primary delegates.

Rigel posted:At this point, Bloomberg is one of the most terrifying people in the election. Right now, he does not have ballot access and hopefully he stays the gently caress out after he inevitably loses the Dem primary, but he still has the ability to play spoiler, spend a crapton of money, and get into a lot of states as independent spoiler. Its why Trump has recently been talking him up and saying he'd love to run against Bloomberg. He can spend spend spend but his core demo will remain low info voters, and those don't usually vote in primaries.

Grouchio posted:My father is optimistic for Bernie but he's concerned that he'd lose after nomination because he wouldn't be 1) swinging voters away from Trump, and 2) be tainted with the Socialist brand. Republicans have cried wolf about everyone being a socialist so its not like it'll be any different. No one is swinging away any voters from Trump, they're a cult. Its going to be about getting non-voters involved and Bernie has the best staff to handle that.

I have to be honest, I've been voting for the lesser of 2 evils for almost 2 decades now and I'm not really seeing the slow and steady improvements that get touted as the reason to do that. For every issue that they band-aid, increasing income inequality/destruction of unions/environmental issues getting kicked WAY down the road for future generations to deal with/stagnant wage growth just outpaces incremental improvements. I feel like I can confidently say that while we've improved some severe injustices, we've just thrown the victims into a class system that is getting worse by the year. I really don't want to be Bernie or bust, but moderate after moderate hasn't fixed the system, they've just attempted to preserve it.

Griffen posted:This is what people mean about trying to have a wider tent. Here I am, voting the way you want, trying to come up with a compromise that can appeal to as many as possible without infringing on anyone (since I'm not calling for banning abortion, in case you missed it), and all you can do is spew hate. What does that say about you and your ability to build a coalition of diverse perspectives? Are the posts you are quoting what you consider spewing hate? Like, this is what is happening on twitter right now. "People made fun of what I said, or called me wrong, or posted a meme, or didn't speak 100% non-offensively = hate speech bernie nazis"

Griffen posted:No, it isn't. I vote on a weighted sum of all my issues, and Bernie fits most of them, though not all. You're welcome to stay and  . It is cool that you aren't a single issue voter, as most people I know that are adamantly pro life claim to be. I do kind of wonder what you thought was going to happen bringing up abortion in a thread where the parties stance is overwhelmingly pro-choice, even the moderates. I also don't think anyone was particularly hateful to you about it, and it kind of seemed like that was your expectation given your reaction.

This line of attack is apparently the only one that is actually working for them, and it takes less than 5 minutes to make an account and send an angry tweet to paint the picture they want people to see. If you ever catch a bernie supporter saying biggoted poo poo, or telling people to kill themselves, please loving name and shame because that poo poo isn't tolerated. That _all_ of the complaints about it i've seen are unverifiable BUT TRUST US IT HAPPENED isn't super surprising.

mcmagic posted:That poll is bullshit. Bernie is by far the most popular candidate with Latinos. There is no way he's only at 10% in florida. My interactions with Cuban expats on politics is usually very surprising and they generally have distrust of things labeled as socialist (they buy into right wing propaganda calling it communist). You can point out the awful racism of the other guys but they'll still tell you why they fled Castro. Florida has the highest population of Cuban expats so I'm not super surprised.
