2020 US General Election Thread IV: The Battle Begins

[Shofercia]

So I'm a bit curious: if Bernie wins the popular vote, but loses the nomination, will the DNC complain about the EC during the General Election?

[Nobel Hobos 2]

They haven't actually finished counting NH. Enough to know the result, but not 100%

What? Most media says 100% reporting

Rounding error then. Check numbers (eg Sanders vote) then check a bit later.

I don't get it? EDIT: The DNC might well complain about the systems used by the state parties, in particular caucuses. I've seen quite a bit of blaming the DNC for "rigging" when I'm medium sure what's going on is the voting is too complex for poorly-trained precinct captains and their staff to administer properly. Who knows how many votes were recorded differently to how the person voted (in Iowa) and unlike actual fraud there's no way it will ever be assessed let alone reversed. And Nevada (another caucus) is coming up.

In future I think the DNC should take over state elections. By not having a Super Tuesday, state elections could be spread over the whole season with only the biggest states getting a day to themselves. With roughly equal numbers of voters on each Tuesday (or Saturday) a team of fully trained election staff could travel from one to the other, taking a leadership role with the local (party) staff.

If the DNC is going to get blamed whoever's fault it is, the DNC might as well take over and try to do it right.

This is where we find out thanks to some arcane state procedure that the vote totals are used to assign squares on a floor and then, on the next full moon, chickens are released on the grid and whoever they poop on gets that delegate.

Chickens is Iowa. In New Hamshire they use moose.

That app seems to have been pretty arcane. Was anyone able, at all, to access it during caucus?

You call it an ap, I call it a barnyard.

But that would mean the billionaire class would have to pay taxes!!!

Exactly.

I would consider him if he dident have Medicare for all (as the only option).
They did it in Taiwan, but it’s expensive.

Wait your not joking .... ?

Understandable. However, personally, I doubt Medicare for All will be fully possible since he'd need to negotiate and moderate once he's in office, but I think Sanders can come in and do some big changes to healthcare in the US that would hopefully lessen cost.

I'd like to get the drugs the person who thinks Steyer will win Nevada is on

What if the only thing they do is make you over-optimistic about Steyer, and they don't have any fun effects?

Nevada is weird in that it's notoriously hard to poll, but last polling (granted it was a month ago) showed Steyer doing pretty solid in NV and SC. With Biden in free fall, that could actually open up the chance for Steyer to do some damage (and by damage, I mean further splitting the delegates and causing no one to get a majority).

I honestly wish he would just drop out already. But I guess billionaires only quit when they feel like it.

Nay, the vote still isn't mine and I have no drugs to give. I'm just saying that Steyer winning NV isn't quite as absurd a notion as it should be.

Then just add something else that does have fun effects, then you can be optimistic about Steyer because the walls turning purple as they melt are an omen in his favor.

At least the humor is alive in this election cycle. We’re going to fucking need it.

Eight Democrats left.

Race is better off without him in it at this point.
