"Why didn't every state get to vote" is possibly the dumbest take ever on Biden/Sanders

Posted by Reagen Apr 8 '20, 15:54

-He could have stayed in if he had wanted that to happen - but the math wasn't there!
-Sanders supporters were calling for people to concede to him back in, like, January as a fait accompli
-It's not Biden's fault he doesn't have an opponent now

Responses:

Once again. I didn't get to even have a say in what candidate I wanted. I hate this fucking process with a passion. HATE!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:35 12
- I'm okay with my state not being instrumental. I just don't want it to always be the same states first. It should be swing states first. -- nm - mara Apr 8, 16:44 11
  - I'd go with the groups idea, and start with NJ first because it's pretty close to the same racial demo of the total U.S. - Max Apr 8, 17:28
  - I would like the primaries rotated if they didn't hold them all at the same time (I get why they don't want to do that) but I 100% agree with you on - Bacon Apr 8, 16:49
  - I don't really agree with that method either. - ty97 Apr 8, 16:46 8
    - But you don’t have President Obama with that method. - spamlet Apr 8, 16:57 4
      - None of the things they hit her with in '16 existed in '08 (or would have been cared about to the same extent). -- (edited) - Reagen Apr 8, 17:02
      - We might not have Trump with that method. -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:58 2
        
        But you’d have VP Sarah Palin. - spamlet Apr 8, 16:59 1
        
        This is my honest answer. If that is what the country decided and not just a handful of early states like always. I am fine with it. - Bacon Apr 8, 17:03
    - I'd make it 10 groups of five states and all the oddballs get their own weekend. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 16:54 1
      - I would be up for any type of variable of this as long as it rotates. Same states always first would be deal breaker for me -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:58
    - I LOVE that idea. - Bacon Apr 8, 16:50
Its interesting to see the winner of IA, NH and NV have the floor drop out from under them -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 16:07 3
- two of them were caucuses and two were states that are not very representative of the overall electorate. -- nm - Tim Apr 8, 16:31 2
  - yeah, but normally the pundits talk about momentum from those three...it was interesting -- nm - crash davis Apr 8, 16:38 1
    - Didn't Clinton not in a state until the sixth one in 1992? -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 16:45
It's an easily answered question, but not that easily answered -- nm - con_carne Apr 8, 16:00
It's a worthwhile point to the extent of discussing how our primary calendars work. - ty97 Apr 8, 15:56 1
- It doesn't work. It's very broken. Even more than the electoral college. If I could change only one it would be the Primary Process -- nm - Bacon Apr 8, 16:36
