1·2 days agoThe point is that the DNC shouldn’t write her out (or show bias, change rules etc.)
There is no “of” to take 21% from.
Independents are not a homogeneous group. A fairer statement is that 100% of assholes are assholes.
7·3 days agoThe discussion usually is for the benefit of lurkers and rarely results in changing the opinion of the opponent.
Wrong sub. Post here

What about the roles where intelligence is required, like investigation, forensics etc. Are there no Sherlock Holmes fans in the police?
The result of your summary was the erroneous conclusion that the extra cost was for more manpower, demonstrating why the airlines are able to get away with making spurious extra costs.
Because splitting our voter base in parts makes us less likely to win seats in congress. It’s called the Spoiler Effect.
Fair primaries have nothing to do with the Spoiler Effect.
If a person’s primary candidate loses they’re less likely to vote for the primary winner in the general election.
Absolute horseshit. Anyone participating in the Democrat’s primary vote will hold their nose and vote Democrat on election day.
I see you using them not arguing against them.
Why would I argue against the article? You’re just butthurt that your usual “no evidence” gambit failed.
We absolutely should be promoting safe seats and not primary them.
Why? That is anti democratic.
It also makes sense that the DNC picks who runs on the DNC ticket.
This is about the primary, not the candidacy.
As far as “influence” you keep talking about it but the only evidence you provide is people just don’t vote the way you want them to.
These were not my words. I was quoting from the article.
It’s a shit sandwich.
But changes to the rules to say no more shit sandwichs will just be ignored.
121·4 days agoBut then we get Vance
If Trump dies in 2026 then there are 10 constitutionally valid years of Vance ruling.
Do you think the Constitution will stay unaltered until 2036?
No, because:-
-
Millions are spent primarying incumbents in safe seats.
-
DNC officials are not neutral in primaries.
-
Neutrality is not codified in the party’s official rules and bylaws.
-
DNC officers attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election.
-
DNC leadership decides who our primary nominees are, not voters.
-
In 2016 party members felt the DNC tipped the primary scales

It may be what lawyers do, but it is not what a democratic system is supposed to do.
If voters decide Jill Stein is what a democrat stands for, she is a Democrat. It’s not up to whoever controls the DNC to decide that she shouldn’t be a candidate.
No doubt. But those primaries won’t feature the candidates people really want to vote for. The few that manage to slip through will be either ignored or derided like Bernie was.
11·4 days agoMaybe the US should subsidize more renewable and battery manufacturing inside its borders.
Oh.
*gestures to the lack of a proper DNC primary
Am I out of touch?
No, it’s the voters who are wrong.
Posting in r/showerthoughts was impossible.
