There is nothing about my post that is self victimization, I'm saying what their strategy is. You're the one who is choosing to interpret it that way.
nah, biden is almost definitely narrowly losing to trump. in 2016, he would have handily defeated him. in 2020 with his decline? lol no. maybe if the left-wing energy bernie created rallies around him but what is there to rally around? just a name and feel-good statements about bipartisanship.
It means you have an idea of what candidate drives enthusiasm amongst the party in key states with a clearer eye. It's no guarantee, but if the argument that Iowa, California, and South Carolina will be better barometers of what can help Democrats win in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, then, you know, holding primaries in those states earlier, make the case.
Liz wants a seat at the cool kids table. It's why she endorsed Hillary over Bernie in '16 and she currently wants a spot in a moderate Administration.
That energy hasn't been translating into increased votes. Good Bernie areas from 2016 aren't showing upticks in turnout in the primaries/caucuses. The areas that ARE ticking up are the red/purple->blue transition areas, and those voters haven't been benefitting Sanders. The whole thesis is that new/lapsed voters will turn out for Sanders, but through both primary elections so far, we're just now seeing it happen.
Ehhhh my reading comprehension skills must be shit, because I thought you were talking my post being self-victimization.
The point of the primary isn't to win the general above all, the point is for the members of a party to choose who they want to represent them. How they expect that person to perform in the general is a part of that consideration, but it's not the only element.
"Early Voting is Bad" (outside the final few days before an election) was my position and this cycle has only dug me harder into it. Absentee is a different thing and just fine.
Can't explain why but... yeah it's a thing.

None of that is compromised by making the process more aligned with winning on today's map.
Seems like there is too much bad blood between them.
Win outright? Bloomberg and Klobuchar probably drops out to prevent that if it comes to that.
idk what my opinion of it is. I'm all for everything that makes more people have an easier time voting but it does seem shitty to lock people to a decision regardless of what changes before election day
It's looking like a two person race between Biden and Sanders and Pete has a preference. Simple as that.
This is how elections have operated since the beginning of time. It's part of the game.
