Let me put it like this... Biden is comfort food for a certain segment of the American population. Not too "urban", not too "shrill", not too... "non traditional" and not a "godless socialist". He's lukewarm porridge which means he's just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this thing in my head from 2016 where I didn't know who Bernie Sanders was really, so I started calling him Barney Saunders as a joke.

Guest Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 23 minutes ago, skillzdadirecta said: What I'm saying is that the most disenfranchised voters figured out a way to stand on line for an ungodly amount of time in order to still vote. Once the pre-clearance provision of the voting rights act went away, Republican state legislatures started doing their level best to make it hard as hell for black and brown people to vote and this was very apparent in Texas. Those folks stayed on line for hours in defiance of that shit. The solution is to win elections so you can reverse this shit. The polling sites were decided by the Republican and Democratic parties in Harris County, and the county clerk who was struggling to get machines to the precincts where there were issues is a Democrat. Those long lines fall at the feet of the county clerk for her poor allocation of machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Some stuff I'm reading about with Washington's turnout, which is pretty impressive: Quote And one other stat — Clinton won a little more than 1.7 million total votes in the 2016 general election against Trump in Washington. Yet there might be as many as 2 million Democratic votes in the primary this cycle? That seems remarkable, no matter how fast Washington may be growing!

Those long lines fall at the feet of the county clerk for her poor allocation of machines. That's one way to look at it... Quote Months before, the Democratic and Republican county parties had been unable to agree to hold a joint primary, which would have allowed voters to share machines preloaded with ballots for both parties. The Harris County Democratic Party had agreed to the setup, but the Harris County GOP refused, citing in part the long lines Republican voters would have to wait through amid increased turnout for the pitched Democratic presidential primary. “We wanted them to do a joint primary where you would just have one line and voters could use all the machines, but they couldn't agree on that,” said Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman, who was elected to her post in 2018. Without a resolution, Trautman chose to allocate an equal number of machines for both primaries at each polling site “because we didn’t want to slight anyone,” particularly as Harris moved to countywide voting to free voters from precinct-specific voting. But the move essentially halved the number of voting machines available to Democratic voters on a busy election day. That meant Republican voting quickly wrapped up across the county while Democratic lines made for extra hours of voting at multiple polling places. In a Wednesday press conference, Paul Simpson, the chair of the Harris County GOP, reiterated that the party was adamantly opposed to joint primaries and sought to preempt any blame for long Democratic lines. To Simpson, Trautman misfired by pursuing a 50/50 split of voting machines across the board instead of using past turnout data to adjust allocations, and he pointed to the party’s recommendation to give Republicans only four machines at Texas Southern University. Quote Lillie Schechter, the chairwoman of the Harris County Democratic Party, said the excessive wait times Democrats faced Tuesday were part of a broader electoral divide in a county that has turned reliably blue in recent years. That change in power has come with voting initiatives that local Republicans have not warmed up to, including a move to countywide voting that allows voters to cast ballots at any polling place in the county on election day. To keep countywide voting for the primary election, the political parties needed to agree on the distribution of shared polling places. But the map the GOP pushed for on Super Tuesday established more voting centers in the two county commissioner precincts represented by Republicans, Schechter said. “If you look at the story to say let's blame the county clerk's office, you’re missing the big picture here,” Schechter said. Just another point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Democrats’ path to the White House runs through places like Michigan’s Macomb County, where a Republican mayor has ditched Donald Trump for Joe Biden Quote His conservative-leaning, working-class suburb is in Macomb County, the epicenter of where blue-collar voters in the industrial Midwest delivered the presidency to Trump in 2016 after twice voting for Barack Obama. If Democrats are to win the White House in November, political strategists widely agree a big part of the strategy will be reclaiming areas such as Macomb in the crucial swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania while holding their ground in Minnesota, another state Trump nearly won four years ago.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Michigan: Quote According to exit polls, Biden also won white voters without a college degree — 51% to 45%. This is a group Sanders won in 2016, when he upset Hillary Clinton in the Michigan primary. Biden also prevailed among union households, winning 54%, compared with Sanders' 42%.

SaysWho? Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Any other candidate could. But their ideas are fluid, ideologies ever-changing, so they have no concessions to win. Besides jobs in the administration, anyway, which many of them get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
