Do you have to be there at 10? What happens from 10-12? Can you show up at 11:50 or no?

Are the Nevada Caucuses things people care about? -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 11:25 17
- I'm curious how the process works because caucuses are just weird to me. - ty97 Feb 22, 11:29 16
  - I’d be super interested to caucus actually -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 11:40 15
    - oh it's a system you'd love I'm sure because of the discussion/persuasion nature of it - ty97 Feb 22, 11:57 11
      - (for the sake of the candidate your support, thankfully NY does not have a caucus) - ty97 Feb 22, 12:10 1
        
        Lol. And: gaze -- nm - JackDawson Feb 22, 12:24
      - There's no discussion/persuasion. That's a crock. It's several hundred people grouped together playing individually on their phones. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 12:01 2
        
        Then why not (I'm gonna say it Iowa!!!!) have a primary? -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 12:08 1
        
        *shrug* Would make more sense to me. But... TRADITION! - Cuzzin Todd Feb 22, 12:09
      - It’s basically ranked choice voting + time. - spamlet Feb 22, 11:59 5
        
        I do not have an issue with ranked choice, in theory. - ty97 Feb 22, 12:00 4
        
        I wish I remembered who did the show on the Irish elections. It may have been TAL. - spamlet Feb 22, 12:03
        
        Ranked choice has a tendency towards the squishy middle choice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 12:02 2
        
        But I think that's likely a better indicator of overall viability. Especially when you have this many candidates. Bernie is going to lead in - pmb Feb 22, 14:31
        
        I was guessing this, which is where my reservation lies I guess. I don't know that you always want that person -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 12:07
    - I'm sure you would, I'm sure you would! -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 11:47
    - Sexy caucus! -- nm - Spawn Feb 22, 11:41 1
      - "Grindr caucus" -- nm* - budice Feb 22, 11:42
Will there be punch and pie? More people will come if you say you have punch and pie. -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 11:18 1
- I'm curious about the time commitment. Like if you have to get there at 10 and voting starts at noon, say you leave at 1, you have to free up 3 hours? -- nm - ty97 Feb 22, 11:19
