2020 US General Election Thread IV: The Battle Begins

[Shrillland]

NY Times just called it too. From here on, the questions are how much and can anybody besides Sanders and Biden get delegates?

[Nobel Hobos 2]

NBC joins Fox in calling it for Sanders with 4% reporting.

Well that’s it then I’m calling the nomination for Sanders. Trump will win re-election and the house will flip

Don't forget giant rocks falling from the sky, a plague of ewoks, and Antonin Scalia rising from the grave.

A plague of ewoks? Vote for Trump!

"The press is ready to declare people dead quickly. Well, we are alive," Joe Biden says just as MSNBC cuts in, stops carrying his speech, and declares Sanders the winner of Nevada.

Indeed. Moderates splitting their own vote will come to a head if it's Warren who comes third and gets delegates.

[Pasong Tirad]

Lol caucuses deciding ties by drawing cards. Real great democracy here guys.

Some people like ewoks but there's no accounting for taste. Some people like Scalia too.

Yeah and just like in Iowa, Pete wins all the tiebreakers, I'm surprised.

[Lower Nubia]

Literally no evidence for this proposition.

Lumen's been claiming that Trump will win without evidence for a while now. And when confronted with head-to-head polls that show Sanders beating Trump he dismisses it.

Literally no evidence for this proposition.

Lol before the edit it just said I'm calling the nomination for Sanders, so it was correct then.

I agree that polls aren't best, but seeing as one exists for each candidate, it seems far more plausible that Sanders has the best chance.

[Kruiven]

Unlike in Iowa, in Nevada, Sanders is by far gaining the most on realignment.

[Kruiven]

Buttigieg now speaking in Las Vegas, which means time to mute the TV.

This is never necessary in a 'big' election like state Representative, as the chance of a tie when tens of thousands of votes are involved, is very small. Maybe it comes down to that, I'm not aware of it.

When precincts have numbers like 10 for each candidate, ties happen quite often.

Now what I think they should do is keep the tie and send "fractional delegates" then at the next level of caucus the fractional delegates might combine with fractional delegates from another precinct (for the same candidate obviously). But it's 50/50 that there would be an odd number of them, so even putting it off til later it might still be necessary to toss a coin or draw cards.

The cards are a bit of a gimmick (cos its Nevada) but they do have an advantage over coin tossing. Cards can resolve a three-way tie.

I, too, am in favor of cutting a person in half King Solomon style.

No, seriously, just give them a fractional delegate each this isn't difficult.

Yes, but it's only an extra 100 votes or so. Realignment shouldn't matter at this point: he has won bigly.

Stop being so blue about it. Sanders is a strong candate that can win the whole shabang.

[Kruiven]

Lmao Pete is using his whole speech to rail against Sanders. He keeps using the talking point can't nominate a factional candidate which is extremely funny given Sanders won almost every category of voters today.

Yay

[Penguin Union Nation]

I'm feeling pretty good about this. Well, cautiously optimistic. That's the closest I get to feeling good.

[Repubblica Fascista Sociale Italiana]

Interesting picture someone sent me from Trump’s rally in Las Vegas.

[Kruiven]

MSNBC projecting a minimum of 13 delegates for Sanders. 1/3 of delegates going to Sanders as of now.

Plenty of Democrats are for Trump. Look at southeastern Oklahoma.

The Democratic Party is no longer the party of the working man, it's now the party of the working person.

General election campaigning is going to be very different for Bernie than primaries. Mainly because the opposition is going to go full force with the s-word

Also digging up all his praising communist dictators from the past

[Nobel Hobos 2]

Hey, do they count the early votes first, last, or at the same time as precinct votes?

If we're looking at just one type, then results are going to change.

The problem is that the Republicans have spent 30 years claiming that UHC and other social programs are socialist. I don’t think it’s going to matter as much as people think
