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
