Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

3/5 was the biggest primary day of all, Super Tuesday!

There will be a lot going on in multiple time zones. Let's keep everything organized here so as to not over-run the board.

I just did some searching, apparently Minnesotan Democrats can vote uncommitted in our primary. I think I'll do that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

It's going to be interesting to see how it spreads after Michigan.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think the biggest lesson tonight is it'll be political malpractice if Biden doesn't pour a bunch of resources into NC. For a closed primary, those exit polls are suggesting a huge amount of Haley voters are persuadable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's funny, because my inclination would be "you're on crack", but if you look at the primary numbers:

Donald Trump - 73.9% - ⁦790,750 votes⁩
Nikki Haley - 23.3% - ⁦249,651 votes⁩
Joe Biden - 87.3% - ⁦606,302 votes⁩

184,448 votes separates Biden from Trump.

So if 73.88% of Haley voters defect, that could post a Biden win in NC.

Still seems like a high bar.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I was reading exactly that actually: 81% of them refuse to vote for Trump if Haley isn't the nominee. It's surprisingly doable just from the primary numbers.

Edit: Also, Republicans nominated a literal Holocaust denier for the governor candidate. That's gonna make that race A LOT easier and maybe effect the entire ballot there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Refusing to vote for Trump isn't the same as voting for Biden though. He has to convince them to flip, not just stay home.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Refusing to vote for Trump isn’t the same as voting for Biden though.

Neat how that's never the case when the two are reversed.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"No Preference" got just over 88,000 votes, and I'd say the vast majority of those people will (grudgingly, perhaps) vote for Biden in the general, so that narrows it down to ~100,000 votes separating Biden from Trump. Half of Haley voters flipping would do it, which, given the circumstances, I don't think is unrealistic.

Also, I'm betting that turnout for the primary doesn't reflect the turnout in the general because I suspect Republicans had more incentive to show up for this primary - if 'uncommitted' wasn't an option in my state, I wouldn't have bothered to get out of bed for this primary, because there's no real race, and there's likely no power vacuum if Biden dies in his sleep tonight - Harris becomes president and the presumptive Democrat nominee. Haley is staying in because if Trump dies in his sleep tonight, the Republicans have a problem. Also, I suspect if you've drank the Trump Flavor Aid, you'd be pretty thrilled to vote for him whenever you're given the chance.

EDIT: Are there any actuaries on Lemmy that can give the exact odds for a guaranteed first elected female president of color in the US? (Assuming the Republicans go with Haley if Trump dies.)

It's worth noting that the Vermont primary is open. There was a decent sized movement among Democrats to vote in the Republican primary against Trump instead of in the Democratic primary.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I voted in the (ugh) Republican primary in Alabama!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

You know, congratulations on voting!

Here's your sticker!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I had to take time off from work to vote today, because I lost track of time and didn't realize voting day was so close until a couple of days ago. Otherwise I would have voted by mail 2 weeks ago.

And my employer had to pay me for the time I took off to vote, because California is awesome woo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Wow! Biden is sweeping! I should have bet money on him!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Uncommitted is not showing any legs yet.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 6 points 8 months ago

Well, it's beating Dean Phillips in his home state, lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Good for you! We're a vote by mail state so I bought a whole roll of them to hand out. LOL.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I voted for Orb Mom in California as a protest vote. I was debating on leaving it blank or voting for Marianne Williamson. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Just remember to vote for a candidate that counts in November! ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Got my sticker last week during early voting.

The one for the general will be going next to the others on my laptop, but upside down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

The uncommitted vote in Minnesota...
