I have an idea how we can decide who the candidate for "the people" really is. [View all] YouDig May 2016 OP

And who would get to vote? casperthegm May 2016 #1

No caucuses and Hillary wins by an even bigger margin. YouDig May 2016 #3

flawed logic casperthegm May 2016 #10

Yes, even with independents. Like I said, she's won more open primaries than Bernie. YouDig May 2016 #14

"Nothing suppresses the vote more than a caucus" aspirant May 2016 #30

excuuse me: Who has been on the felon issue, especially in Virginia or don't that count. DLCWIdem May 2016 #40

Virginia is 1 state, how about the rest? aspirant May 2016 #46

There's no party registration in Texas. Zero. Every primary, Dem or Rep, is open. Zen Democrat May 2016 #64

Hillary won big in Texas, if my memory is correct. YouDig May 2016 #66

So in order for Hillary to get the independent votes, we must elect Bernie Sanders? asuhornets May 2016 #6

No, in order for Democrats to get the independent votes, we must nominate Bernie. Zen Democrat May 2016 #65

I agree with President Obama. once people move past their feels underthematrix May 2016 #7

If Independents want to vote in a party primary, they should join that party. LonePirate May 2016 #8

ok, but then you're going to court them for the GE? casperthegm May 2016 #23

Um, Repubs also court Independents in the GE. LonePirate May 2016 #27

In a fair fight? Sure. Fuck the stacked deck though. Twice. merrily May 2016 #2

It goes without saying that whoever loses the election will call the decked stacked. YouDig May 2016 #4

Spare us. That the deck was stacked could not have been more obvious from the off and merrily May 2016 #13

From the losing side, of course it looks stacked. No evidence, of course, but who ever needs that. YouDig May 2016 #16

What part of my prior post did you not understand? merrily May 2016 #18

All of it. From the losing side, your side, of course you're going to say it was stacked. YouDig May 2016 #22

One more time. We said it was stacked the day he announced, not from the "losing" side. merrily May 2016 #25

You were always losing, from the beginning. Hillary never trailed in the polls. YouDig May 2016 #26

Polls aren't votes,"from the beginning" aspirant May 2016 #32

Yeah, but we all knew Bernie wouldn't win, and we all were right. YouDig May 2016 #34

From our side, we all know Hills won't win the GE aspirant May 2016 #42

Your side doesn't have a very good track record. YouDig May 2016 #44

And either does Hills aspirant May 2016 #49

Looking pretty good where I'm standing. I don't know #berniemath, but 3 million votes and 270 YouDig May 2016 #52

You don't have "standing" just another psychic prediction aspirant May 2016 #59

You've got psychic predictions plus a losing record. I like where I am. YouDig May 2016 #60

Hills losing record = 2008 primary, no way around it aspirant May 2016 #61

Did realize that you are implying that if Hillaray doesn't gain the nomination, she will scream, Todays_Illusion May 2016 #48

You're right, she wouldn't. She didn't in '08. Some people are adult enough to lose without whining YouDig May 2016 #50

Instead, she pandered RFK's name. Todays_Illusion May 2016 #55

It was a fair fight.. asuhornets May 2016 #9

Very false equivalency. That was a more even match, but the thumb on the scale was for Obama, or merrily May 2016 #15

You are talking about the media.. asuhornets May 2016 #21

Huh? You thought I meant VOTERS stacked the deck? Um, nope. DNC, the Party, the media. merrily May 2016 #24

Bernie Sanders has been handle with kid gloves by the media, Clinton, DNC, everybody asuhornets May 2016 #41

Sorry, none of that is true. merrily May 2016 #75

I am so sick of false victimization DLCWIdem May 2016 #68

Tyndall Report, to name just one. merrily May 2016 #69

Actually Chris Matthews seemed quite enthused about Bernie, at first. DLCWIdem May 2016 #47

Um, maybe in your eyes. I never noticed it. However, this campaign is full of false flag ops. merrily May 2016 #56

740 delegates ahead if you count all of them. ucrdem May 2016 #5

Except in ethics and judgment Matt_in_STL May 2016 #19

Ah yes, the values voter. ucrdem May 2016 #33

Yes, because ethics and judgment are the values they voted on... Matt_in_STL May 2016 #38

If ALL primaries were open and there were no cacuses basselope May 2016 #11

Have to give it to you, YouDig. You are nothing but tenacious and relentless. You walk a fine line. 7wo7rees May 2016 #12

Ikr? 1100 posts in a month. riderinthestorm May 2016 #31

And you would not be posting here because Brock wouldn't be paying for Bernie to win Matt_in_STL May 2016 #17

I'm all for it. Open primaries with no voter registration deadline and get rid of photo ID laws. hellofromreddit May 2016 #20

Now that's Democracy aspirant May 2016 #35

It's the person with the long recored of fighting for the people and who hasn't sold out & cashed in Skwmom May 2016 #28

So the people have no say in who the candidate of the people is. Just you. YouDig May 2016 #29

All the people do, not just registered Democrats aspirant May 2016 #36

Republicans will get to participate in the general election. YouDig May 2016 #39

That's the old way, time for the new aspirant May 2016 #54

You're right, but I do understand the frustration here gollygee May 2016 #81

Thoughtful post, thanks. YouDig May 2016 #82

I don't think that works for some people KingFlorez May 2016 #37

Okay. How much money are we gonna give Bernie to buy superdelegates? lumberjack_jeff May 2016 #45

Maybe if one side hadn't bought the umpires that would work. Jester Messiah May 2016 #51

I get your point but you know what, if you erase all voting till now, and Actor May 2016 #53

waste of time. Hillary has it. riversedge May 2016 #57

Not "the people", but the "registered Democrats". The GE will be a whole different animal. n/t Binkie The Clown May 2016 #58

Sounds like a great idea, but the evidence seems to be indicating there is a special effort Todays_Illusion May 2016 #62

Conspiracy theories are not "evidence". YouDig May 2016 #63

no they are not and these guys are living on fantasy island. I'm outa here. DLCWIdem May 2016 #70
