You directly implied I don't give a shit about bigotry and wasn't bothered by what the woman said when I had openly said how vile and awful she was. You bragging about "ohhhh if I was there I'd have said some shit!" doesn't mean shit.
Bernie has stated multiple times that he's not the best at math.
Andrew Yang is campaigning on MATH.
Perfect compliment of each other.
The new rule is that if you go to a Viable candidate, you are locked in until the end and can leave early if you want. That helps speed things along.
Keep in mind a ton of people still rank politicans in terms of their own personal preference vis a vis likability, instead of their ideological compatibiity.
These are good!
Hmm, qualification is a funny issue when it comes to politics...I am not sure that means she will do a bad job. she has political experience, just not at that level. Still, not saying she would be my pick for that position, I agree it is too soon. Personally, I would like to see Rashida, would send out a great message to have a female Muslim VP, even if that message would put many people's backs up. Racism needs to be excorcised from the US, and it ain't going to go away quietly unfortunately. Would also be happy with Ellison or Lee, or even Warren for that matter, but don't think that would work.
"I'm sorry you feel that way" is a good one.
Pete won the spiritual, emotional and moral elections
While Bernie only won the physical election.
3>1
Info released will wide release to everyone, candidates will not know results ahead of general public
There's a middle way, though. In reality, she should have been as kind as she was while also sharing her candidate's view on love and acceptance for everyone (insert obvious "except black people" joke here). Her candidate's own perspective wouldn't be one of "total respect."
Not disputing he has support in those communities I'm just saying he needs to have enough to offset the white Trump vote has to really run up the numbers. The American electoral system is stacked against left/left leaning candidates. How else does a candidate like Trump win? And now that Trumps favorability ratings are improving of course I'm worried. Republicans don't have to worry about coalitions because they're base is essentially homogenous, not the same for Democrats.
They're going to be releasing 62% first. You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
I'm starting to think they don't have the whole data or were not able to get it immediately.
why on earth would you release 62% of data. No one actually cares about 62%. We want 100%. So why announce anything? lol. What a farce.
If they have to verify hand-written counts, this is going to take quite a while.
I can agree with just moving on and saying "i'm sorry the vote is submitted" or something along those lines or i'm sorry I disagree so on and so forth. The girl handled it well, not perfect. The idea that she should snap back and shoot this woman down and correct her/put her on blast accomplishes nothing and is much easier said than done. These are 2 separate arguments.
At this point they should just release it when they have all the data. 62% with no info on when we are gonna get the remaining 38% (afaik) is ridiculous
Look, if they wanted to soften the blow a little, they could have least been willing to release 7 more percent, so we could amuse ourselves with the usual sex jokes.
They probably just want to release something today to assuage people's anger
What is the benefit of releasing 62%? :\
It seems like they're reacting to the pressure of needing something to show. This doesn't seem like the best course of action at all. Not for the clarity of the data, not for the benefit of the candidates, and certainly not to people who are anxious for answers. I don't know who will be placated by this. It just seems bound to introduce more confusion to an already complicated situation.

Addressing questions about the feck up before releasing the provisional results. Release the results then address how the situation was botched.
They probably are just releasing whatever they had time to finish today and they don't want to have nothing to show again... but this is just going to cause more confusion, not less
Well we typically gradually get results as the night goes on, it's just taken much longer for us to get the first results...
I think the hard thing for the campaign worker who had to confront an ignorant old bat about Buttigieg being gay, while that old bat had already handed in her signed card and wanted to rescind it, was also that these campaign workers are trained to do everything it takes to keep someone in your camp, that 1 person standing in your group and not the other's is the difference between winning and losing. At least, that's the training. And so when there's an impasse that "Midwestern nice" Takes over and they just say "Well, I respect your opinion goodbye."
There was a good example on The Daily podcast this morning where a Yang campaign worker was trying to get a Biden supporter to jump to Yang, and immediately got frustrated and ended up going in hard on ... hunter biden taking a $50,000/year job and that Joe Biden caused the country to get ripped apart by impeachment.... And the Biden supporter was nice, and polite and was like "Are you... are you sure you fact checked that...?" And the Yang supporter was like, "Yes, I fact checked it." In the end, of course, Yang picked up none of Biden's supporters in that precinct. You'd want the Biden supporter to rip this person whose talking about unfounded conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden ... causing impeachment...

You want someone to deliver the knockout blow to bigotry and unfounded conspiracy theories, but some people aren't good at that on the spot... They might have a stairwell moment later where they say "DAMN! I wish I said [this]," but a lot of people can't come up with that in the moment so they mumble something together about Buttigieg being a human being or "did you fact check that...?" It's a tough look when you're caught off guard like that and it's captured on the internet for all time, when everybody has the time to perfect their perfect comeback.
