Honj Steak posted:LOL at the US electoral system being like a sports league. No wonder you treat politics like that. Proto political parties got their start in the Roman Empire as fan clubs of specific chariot racing teams. Our system sucks, but you can go gently caress yourself for looking down your nose. Human politics in general is stupid, dirty, and more important than anything else.

lol what the gently caress? why not release the poll? I had a great conversation with a very clean-cut college prep looking Pete campaign worker today and, uh, he did not have an answer for why he was in with Pete other than "we need to unify the country" so there you go. e: he did not have an answer when I asked what sort of across-the-aisle compromise could possibly be realistic under a presidency of any of the candidates. Nice kid, but not ready for prime time.

Dude stepped up to be a precinct captain and many people in this thread are savaging him because he supported a different Dem but ran a fair caucus. Jesus Christ folks it's not like we're dealing with a chud here Uh, welcome to the Dem primary thread? I got this avatar because I had the gall to say Warren was 2nd best in the field after Bernie.

yronic heroism posted:Yeah, respect to people owning their mistakes ITT but the next level is considering their own confirmation biases the next time some rando tweets “Fwd:Fwd:Fwd: dnc FRAUD!” Right now it’s p much “confirmation bias the thread” and likely will be for months. People are reacting with their, understandably, extremely strong feelings and not thinking with their heads. I get it, and I try not to hold it against them, but sometimes it can get really bad.

PepsiOverCoke posted:Its mainly why i think Pete can beat Sanders. If people go into things thinking they have a slam dunk, go on media with this, and then someone from Pete or even Warren crew goes "uh no [explains the rules]" it makes Bernie look like an absolute idiot in comparison. I love Bernie Sanders and I wholeheartedly believe he is the best candidate, and the one that we need the most. His campaign is loving top-notch. They are disciplined, organized, and on point. His dogshit aggro fans on Twitter and itt do a huge disservice to him and his mission.

Herewaard posted:Twitter literally does not matter and if you think it does you definitely need to log off for a while The "Bernie Bro" narrative is entirely derived from Twitter and other online spaces. You never see Bernie supporters harassing people in the real world. They're always super polite, super positive, and in it to win it. It's only online that extremely angry leftists (angry for good reasons! I'm angry too!) attack center-left folks like rabid loving dogs and shout about Bernie while doing it. It's counter-productive, if cathartic, and it has absolutely fed into a narrative about Bernie's supporters being bad.

Kraftwerk posted:I’m beginning to lose hope. It feels like the forces arrayed against Bernie are too powerful to be defeated by electoral politics. Especially since the gatekeepers of power and arbiters of the rules are the same people who’s interests Bernie conflicts with. Get involved. Either with Bernie or a local progressive candidate. Working towards the solution helps immensely.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:Kraftwerk, if it helps, you can just decide who you're going to vote for in the general, now. Let's not discuss who that is, in the primary thread, but just remember there is always a blank line and you can write anything you want there, and that you can just decide to do that and what name you're going to write in, right now. And if the Democrats want to benefit from that, the ball is in their court. Or you could quit being a baby about it and work your rear end off to elect even Pete the rat because every one of these Dems has a good shot against Trump and 4 more years of Trump isn't going to teach your enemies a lesson and will in fact obliterate the last environmental protections the loving country still has and the climate apocalypse you Bernie or Busters like to shout about as the reason that Bernie must win is loving guaranteed. Christ, you fuckers are exhausting. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's a good podcast, I enjoy it, and they're extremely clear in saying that if Bernie gets the majority of delegates he should be the nominee and anything otherwise would rip the party apart and give the election to Trump. They're hardcore Vote Blue No Matter Who, and that extends to Bernie. e: Keep doing your succ dem lanyard echo chamber poo poo, don't mind me. Your shitposting only makes my ignore list longer.
