Do they? Are you confusing black voters with non-white voters?
He's the whitest of white bread candidates and this is Iowa.
Worse than a son who got kicked out of the Navy for rampant drug use, then divorced for sleeping with prostitutes and more drug use and who then immediately started dating his widowed sister-in-law while simultaneously knocking up a woman in Arkansas? Worse than Hunter how?
He's saying Pete.. Pete is polling @0% with african americans.
The March 2019 edition (Pete 1.0) was really compelling. I imagine if you tuned out after that, the appeal might still be there. (Weirdly, I'd rank Amy above Pete at this point.)
I live in Dearborn Michigan. Arabs here fucking love Bernie. He came to speak in densest Arab neighborhood in the city, the only national candidate to have done so.
A lot of liberals forget about Arabs and Muslims, but our voices count.
1) Is young
2) Seems smart
3) That aforementioned "shitty recent history"
In fairness, they're both racist assholes. Bloomberg is just more famous for it.
Being in so cal, I can say I've never met a non-latino person who didnt say they were voting for Bernie (all are young though). Heck, I'm latino and love the guy.
Obviously Ranked Choice Voting would be the sane way to do this.
As long as it's super close, which it looks like It will be, I don't think anyone of the top 4 is finished after tonight.
I still expect Biden to do no worse than 2nd and regardless the spread between at least the top 3 will be very close.
Most parties in most countries don't have candidate selections at public ballot boxes.
Had a strong feeling since the beginning of all this that Pete was going to take it and feel increasingly certain of this with every half hour.
Each party has their own system, but most are based on simple voting between all party members, while the rest just appoint a candidate of their own choosing with no voting involved.
It's worth mentioning, naturally, that we currently have 33 different political parties here, and not all of them will come up with a candidacy themselves. Interparty alliances are the norm when it comes to the big executive branch roles.
The only press coverage the process gets happens after the candidates are announced.
It's blatantly undemocratic. Who the hell has time for that shit.
Meanwhile Biden's getting absolutely ghosted in minority caucuses in Iowa
Spin THAT
So, a lot of the Biden people just left without doing a second preference at my precinct. Bernie won my precinct with 99 votes. Delegates were dispersed thusly at my precinct ranked by raw votes:
Bernie 3
Warren 3
Pete 3
Klob 2
Klob was NOT viable on the first round and I think she took some of the Biden voters that were not too butt hurt.
In my home town my mom is reporting on the ground. She has confirmed the Biden was viable by the EXACT amount of voters needed. That town is a rural town of about 13k in IA4 (Steve King's district). She says there are a lot of people and that Bernie came in first.

Guess it doesn't matter too much if Biden takes the South, though.
It's a whole bunch of peer pressuring. Caucuses are ridiculous and should have been stopped a long time ago.
Watch who you're calling a freak, person in love with water ;)
FYI. Bernie got about 2/3rds of the minority vote from my guesstimate in my precinct. Blacks were split about half and half between Bernie and Biden. I did not see a single minority in the Klob or Pete camps.
