GeneticBlueprint Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 2 hours ago, Signifyin(g)Monkey said: Sanders had the largest contingent of loud and obnoxious voters at my precinct by far. I threw a guy into a rage just by asking him to give me a coherent definition of socialism that didn’t just amount to social democratic capitalism with a beefier welfare state. Maybe kind of an abrasive question on my part (though I tried to ask it in a civil tone) but jeez. I'd totally buy this. Usually. But I just watched Pete's speech with his crowd and now I don't believe you one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Sanders and Pete are now both releasing their own results showing themselves in the lead but that they both admit are less than 100% of the precincts. This is some real banana republic shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Step 1. Have people cast their vote on a piece of paper. Step 2. Count the pieces of paper. Step 3. Announce that the one who got the mostest votes won. Who came up with this convoluted bullshit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing about these things is sane, even if it works out fine. Paper ranked voting works just fine pretty much everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were up to me, these things would be as simple and straightforward and as hard to fudge as possible. We'd all use tiermaker.com like a fucking civilized nation.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I don't even know how any campaign could even begin to seek redress through the courts for this as everything about it appears fundamentally broken at the base level.

And I refuse to believe they haven't always been. Even if everything works as intended, you're still only giving a voice to whoever wants to be a part of that chaos and has the time for it. I'm sure caucuses were great a hundred years ago when it was a whole 20 white guys in a room playing musical chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I think we can all see why motivated campaigns do so well at caucuses. It appears to be a made up bullshit system.
