      - You didn't play much, but you earned several levels? -- nm - David Apr 13, 07:58 3
        
        we both had stored a butt ton of exotic engrams from last Iron Banner. - groiny Apr 13, 08:07 1

  - That soon? -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 07:50
  - Are you laughing because that sounds optimistic? Because 5 years to replace a system wide process seems insanely optimistic to me. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 07:47
  - I know. "In a New York Minute" has a different meaning when it comes to the MTA. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:38

        thanks. -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 07:06
- The workers have 2 big picket lines - one in the front of the building and one in the back. There hasn't been yelling or anything like that. - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 13, 07:01
Krusty LV = Likely voter - ty97 Apr 13, 06:57 4
- And Dawson, the other thing that could hurt Bernie (a bit at least) in NY - ty97 Apr 13, 07:02 3
  - I'd be in the Working Families party if they could vote in the primary. I usually support their candidates on the ballot. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:05 2
    - I was a bit disappointed in them when they gave Cuomo their line last gubernatorial election. - ty97 Apr 13, 07:08 1
      - I was as well. He's an asshole. He bullied them into doing it and then fucked them after he won. They are now pushed further down the line on the - Krusty Apr 13, 07:15
Bernie formally announced in May, Trump in June. Not exactly barely running. - ty97 Apr 13, 06:55 40
- I find that whole thing weird...when I voted, they asked me if I wanted the Republican or Democrat ballot... - Jim Apr 13, 06:57 8
  - It makes sense though, because party people should choose party candidates. Maybe what you guys need is a run-off system -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 07:08 4
    - This is the one thing I think Louisiana gets right. Everyone gets thrown in the pot and they eliminate until someone gets over 50%. - spamlet Apr 13, 07:27 2

    - What we need is for you to stay out of our politics!!! lol I liked it. - Jim Apr 13, 07:11
  - That's what TX was like, that's an open primary. Much of Northeast is closed primary. Nate Silver calls NY super-closed -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 06:59 2
    - I don't have a problem with closed primaries that make you switch registration, say, 30 days prior - ty97 Apr 13, 07:00 1

  - I did when it came to my gf. We care and made sure before the deadline came. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:00 6
    - So you're voting Hillary then given Bernie's still an Independent Socialist caucusing with the Democrats, right? - Will Hunting Apr 13, 07:01 5
      - I'm just going to get the sticker. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:03 4
        
        I love the sticker! -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:03 3
        
        Bernie's? This sounds stupid, but I think that shade of blue is perfect. -- nm - mara Apr 13, 07:09 1
        
        No the I voted sticker they give you after you vote. But I do like the shade of blue that Bernie uses. Not too in your face or too light. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 07:16
        
        me too! -- nm - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 13, 07:04
  - I've never been an Independent so this never occurs to me. -- nm - Divaerys Targaryen-Breaker of Chains Apr 13, 06:58 1
    - I've switched mine to all 3 at some point or other over the years -- nm - decline Apr 13, 06:59
  - That is the logic though. If you weren't part of [whichever] party as of last October, NY doesn't want you pulling the fair weather fan treatment. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 06:58 9
    - I think it's fair to let the parties decide who they want voting for their nominee. - TWuG Apr 13, 07:03 6
      - Did I read a different quote...even the title of the article "Ivanka blasts...blah blah" - Jim Apr 13, 07:08 5
        
        Yeah, I think the headline is a bit overwrought for what they quote her as saying. -- nm* - ty97 Apr 13, 07:09 3
        
        Also - the article is all about Ivanka and Eric not registering. What about Donnie Douche? I guess he knew and is ready to vote for his dad? - Jim Apr 13, 07:10 2
        
        He may have already been registered Republican. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:16
        
        Maybe he was already already registed, and his address hasn't change recently? -- nm - mara Apr 13, 07:13
        
        Never trust the word "blasts" when used in a headline -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 07:09
    - [deleted] 1
      - not life long members, but people who decided they were part of the party at least as early as last year - ty97 Apr 13, 07:07
  - Outside of the candidates' families, no one reasonably should be expected to. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 06:58
  - Engaged voters. -- nm - TWuG Apr 13, 06:57 9
    - [deleted] 7
      - And that's why you were a registered republican. ;-) - Krusty Apr 13, 07:01 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I think the parties need to do better at reaching out to the people and at the same time the people need to educate themselves as to how things work. - Krusty Apr 13, 07:11 4
        
        [deleted]
        
        Not just the parties, but the media in general. "Register by * to vote in the April primary" would make a nice little headline below the fold. - mara Apr 13, 07:15 2

        Oddly, you know who's been decent about this: Facebook. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 07:22
    - Voters weren't supposed to need to be engaged, Hillary was going to win easily. This wasn't supposed to happen! :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 06:59
