2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

It wasn't snake shyt. Bernie actually said it. Reporters were trying to confirm it for over a year.

Tell bernie not to be a misogynistic troll.

Prove he said it.

down ballot voting is precisely why this congresswoman immediately spoke out:

i actually think you're right i just dont understand why you're supporting another socialist, if you feel that strongly about it

with as outraged as you are about bernie, you shouldnt be any farther left than biden. warren will suffer most of the same smears, plus sexism. and i like warren, just not as the winner of 2020

Are we back on "Bernie is sexist" now? The Russia stuff didn't work, the Castro stuff didn't work, the antisemite stuff didn't work, and now we're just rehashing sexism? Wasn't there supposed to be some new oppo?

Caucuses are trash for turnout and it’s not a great way for anyone to be voting for the most powerful position in our government

True but it's concerning that it was 18k less than '08 when they didn't have early voting back then and the state population was 500k less than it currently is. The turnout in the first three states has been underwhelming for a party that supposedly is eager to defeat Trump.

A candidates supporters should not be the driving factor of whether you support a candidate or not...this is just more American stupidity disguised as principle.

New Hampshire broke 2008's record by 13,000 votes though

im embarrassed to watch these caucuses democrats need to put their foot down and eliminate them. tell them they can fukkin vote like normal, or they dont play a role in picking the nominee

ESPECIALLY since they're the ones whining that the popular vote should replace the electoral college (which i think it should)

man, it's a wrap. let it go

Stop being a fukking homer. Any of these candidates can use Elizabeth’s plans. A candidate addresses a current world crises and everyone should have open ears.

Did they? I thought it was even w/ 2008.

I hope whoever is the final winner in the white house uses her anti-corruption plan tbh

No, it broke the record but the turnout rate was just in line with population growth which seems to be the trend.

2008 was a historical election - we were either getting the first Black president ever or the first woman president ever

The economic collapse had made a lot of people super pissed

Obama had the GOAT turnout operation

A lot of Democrats aren't really backing a horse and just want to vote for whoever is running against Trump

And I think the DNC fukkups in 2016 disillusioned a lot of people who gave up on the process.



Edit. Holy shyt, I think I just realized what the biggest reason is. This is 2020, why are ratings and attendance for damn near everything down? Because everyone's on their fukking phones. People actually had time to kill in 2008, nowadays everyone on their laptop/phone every waking hour. Bet you anything that's a BIG part of turnout depression. That could legit be an issue for the Dems for young people turnout in the general too. Sanders' team better have a massive social media turnout operation that can actually translate facebook/twitter/instagram/whatsapp/youtube messages into people getting off their asses and getting in that fukking line.

The primaries are going to be on a high level it seems. Caucuses look like upgrades on 2016 but not record breaking.
