2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary Thread * 1st past the post wins...

And lest anyone say the House will give them power, I could totally see Trump going full Maduro there. “15 million illegal immigrants voted in Mexico and thus the House majority is illegal and fraudulent, I do hereby declare in the best interest of the country, the House is dissolved.”

John Roberts “Did he say ‘in the best interest of the country’??? Sorry, that’s the cheat code. LOL fuck you.”

The US has had almost 300 years of two parties chasing constituencies. Barring big structural changes, it’s a stable equilibrium.

Roflmao. Trump/Bernie unity ticket.

Lol Founders.

Also this does not require an electoral college tie.

I don’t think it’s crazy. Sanders won but only got <30% of the vote so far and it is not obvious from where he will get another 20%+. One suggested path was decisively winning the early states and using that momentum to crush the Super Tuesday states. Unfortunately his wins look rather anemic. He barely met expectations while Buttigieg and Klobuchar outperformed theirs.

I will never get how Klob keeps hanging around. She treats her underlings worse than Selina Meyer by all accounts.

Among her base (affluent white olds), living in complete denial about nominally “nice” people is a way of life.

Seriously.

I’ve really never been undecided in my entire life. I’ve been wrong, a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever not been certain.

She’s the only serious candidate in the primary!

Sanders - way too old
Biden - way too old
Warren - too old
Buttigieg - Will never outlive the Ice Town debacle
Bloomberg - Not on the ballot?
Klobuchar - Winner by default!

People only know her from the debates, where the media tells them she does well.

The crazy part is she is absolutely terrible in debates, but now she seems to be leaning in to this reputation of being the strong debater among the crowd.

The fact that people on this board don’t understand that bernies healthcare plan lets you go to whatever doctor you want and pay nothing is a little troubling. It’s his signature policy and people are still wandering around thinking that their healthcare choices are going to get worse!

He needs to put together a 60-second ad introducing himself and defining himself and the movement to the general voting public. With his war chest, he could have even done it for the Super Bowl.

He’s produced these types of ads before, they’ve just mostly been used online. On that note he should be putting that kind of stuff out constantly on FB and IG.

Disagree with this. I thought she was the best chance a month ago but it became painfully obvious to me that Bernie is the only democratic candidate with a real shot.

In the rankings I always had 1. Yang 2. Warren 3. Sanders

I never thought yang had a shot so I thought warren was the choice. But too many factors from Warren flaws to Trump conditions to just the overall environment have convinced me Bernie has a shot because he can neutralize/match trump in many of his strongest areas.

Maybe some people won’t vote for him because they think he is a socialist and will stay home. If they do I will blame them entirely for a second trump term. I didn’t accept not voting for who the candidate was in 2016 and my tolerance has reached non existent levels now.

I actually hate anyone who says they won’t vote if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination. It is stupid, immature and intentionally inflicting massive harm on other people (so it makes them almost the same as any trump voter in all those regards)

Meh, at various points this cycle I’ve considered voting for just about everyone except for Tulsi.
