Twitter has to punish obvious BS otherwise they look too biased. Bloomberg=obvious BS.

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure Sanders will win nomination because he will have his 'progressive' lane all by himself after Warren drops due to losing MA.
 
So Sanders just destroyed everyone else in Nevada. I wonder if this is just a fluke, or a sign of things to come.
Too early to tell, caucuses usually go for the more attractive candidate with peer pressure a real thing. Trump did not do well with the caucuses in 2016 due to this factor and Bernie supporters would shame others into voting for him.
 
Why peer pressure? How do caucuses work?
I think the process is people go into a polling place, they talk about the candidates and after that they vote. The more passionate supporters of a candidate can influence voters like when Ted Cruz did really well in the states with caucuses in 2016 by saying that Trump was not a real conservative. That’s what I think happens but I could be wrong.

If you vote for someone because some scrawny college socialist shamed you into it you don't deserve the right to vote in the first place.

Honestly I hope Bernie does well and wins the nomination. Let's at least try to make the general interesting, instead of it just being a farce where Trump shits all over some boring middle-of-the-road centrist. A man who is pretty much capitalism personified vs an old lifelong socialist sounds like it would make for an interesting debate.
 
The caucuses are you have to physically show your support for a candidate by standing somewhere. If your first candidate doesn't meet some threshold, there's a period where the candidates that did better get to lecture the other people into voting for their guy. That hurt President Trump. It was the same way how he always did better on the online polls, but phone polls where live people asked the people who they were going to vote for, President Trump always did worse as a candidate, substantially so.
People didn't really buy it was going to happen, but there was the theory going around that Donald Trump had a lot of hidden supporters in crucial battleground states in the midwest that were hiding their support for the president due to the peer pressure/social desirability thing, and he was going to do well in the midwest/great lakes states and win most of them.

I bet the Sanders supporters got a bunch of people to switch. They wanted it more.

But why would states use this method that's even more prone to outcome distortion than regular ballots?
 
I'm starting to wonder if some of those droves of DNC operatives he's hiring from other campaigns are just trying to burn his money as fast as possible.
Tell ya what

If I weren't already 24/7 responsible for something else, I'd take Mini Mike's money.

He's a fucking meme, he's not going to beat Trump, so taking his money and laughing all the way to the bank is perfectly fine.

Word filter never fails to be funny.

Even if all of California's undocumented residents got counted by the census and they got an extra seat because of it, citizens' votes in that state would still be disproportionately weak. This isn't a partisan issue-- the exact same is the case for Texas. See my post upthread about how electoral votes are allocated for more on that.

Also, undocumented residents (and even their documented friends and family members) are terrified of the census this year because of the proposed citizenship question, even though it isn't going to be on the form at all, and the government isn't legally allowed to give that information to ICE anyway. The likely undercount of Latinos as a result is going to hurt states like Texas, California, and Florida. It's clear to me that the media circus about the citizenship question was a very much intentional way to scare Latinos away from the census, but the idiots who cooked it up clearly weren't thinking it though, because it's going to affect red states just as much as it will blue and swing states.

In case anyone here subscribes to the quack notion that undocumented residents are voting-- they're not, even in places like California. You require a valid, state-issued ID to register to vote in all fifty states. Most voter fraud actually involves legal residents voting on behalf of dead people, and is actually quite rare.
>undertones of "electoral college bad"
>unironic use of the euphemism "undocumented resident", instead of the more accurate "illegal immigrant"
>"even though it isn't going to be on the form at all, and the government isn't legally allowed to give that information to ICE anyway" (based on what, exactly?)
>implications that Latinos are generally "undocumented", by saying that Latinos will be "undercounted" as a result of illegal immigrants and their enablers pissing themselves over a fucking question
>"voter fraud is totally rare and uncommon guys! Illegal immigrants certainly don't vote!"

Stop pussyfooting around and give us your Twitter Democrat talking points already.
 
I personally don't like echo chambers but if its all about the decorum, like Obama, and nothing about his policies like the drone strikes, then you lost me bud. I guess with the liberal crowd, as long as you observe the "proper" rule of behavior, you can do anything you want. Trump had two choices, be himself and ride against the wave or not be himself and apologize for eternity.

I care about results. Trump brings results, and while some people get butt hurt over his tweets, they make me laugh.

Exactly. The only true difference right now is brashness over Twitter and a fast-moving social media driven news cycle. We have had plenty of brash and bizarre presidents in the past, although lately they have been more staid. I'm not even talking about Clintonesque "bimbo eruptions" but I'm talking about JFK dropping acid and swapping broads with his brother, Johnson whipping his dick out and shaking it at reporters, Nixon's degenerate alcoholism, shit like that. Trump's crudeness isn't even new, it's wide dissemination is.
 
While I believe that in the end, Trump will beat Bernie, I still dont want a Socialist actually getting this close. At least Bern has a lot of footage of himself that's gonna scare voters away.
 
How is a near-80 year old millionaire from Vermont with cardiovascular issues the front runner?
Basically establishment democrats are incompetent losers that don't understand the word "Unification". Republicans at least on the whole act as a unified party.

So it boils down to people getting tired of establishment democrats saying they care about the people but not really caring about them and being discount republicans.

The Republicans were forced into it. The Democrats are not disunited nationally. All their figures are in lockstep. The unpredictable primary is a result of internal indecision, not division.

Few reasons really

The big ones are

1) Bernie is doing what all socialists do, promise a bunch of free crap and give little to no information how they intend to pay for it, and avoid using the word Taxation as much as possible unless they are referring to "da wun percent"

and

2) literally every candidate the democrats have appointed has self imploded crazily

a) Harris was leading in the polls right up until around the time Tulsi Gabbard called her a narc on national television

b) then Joe was leading, right up until his brain started dripping out of his ears and he kept being a general embarrassment by forgetting where he was. This run also would have been over if at any point Obama endorsed Biden, but clearly he knew Joe was losing his damned mind and didnt want to attach his legacy to Joe

c) then warren, (who i thought was going to be the nominee) decided to break rule 1 and release how she intended to pay for her medicare for all strategy and fell like a stone

Now they are left with a bloke whos claim to fame is being a moderate homosexual who was the mayor of a town with a population that could fit into the melbourne cricket ground.

and Mike Bloomberg



And even then with the whole shit show exploding around them, and the onyl way to stop AN independent senator hijacking their party is to have pretty much everyone drop out and get behind the so called moderate choice, they still cant do that and instead they all hang on for grim death hoping for a brokered convention. and refusing to attack a 79 year old socialist whos on record praising the soviet union and Venezuela,
