At least, it's too early to tell.

2018-08-29 01:07:56 UTC  

The question then becomes what happens in the runoff.

2018-08-29 01:08:00 UTC  

Florida is a closed primary.

2018-08-29 01:08:12 UTC  

So it's whomever leads?

2018-08-29 01:08:24 UTC  

yup

2018-08-29 01:08:38 UTC  

its always one red vs one blue

2018-08-29 01:08:54 UTC  

I wish we had a third party running

2018-08-29 01:09:20 UTC  

Well. I guess you're stuck then.

2018-08-29 01:09:29 UTC  

Not sure what to say.

2018-08-29 01:09:40 UTC  

third party won't work as long as we are closed

2018-08-29 01:09:52 UTC  

Well Desantis actually gave a really good speech but I dont trust him

2018-08-29 01:09:53 UTC  

I had a weird feeling he'd lose the runoff since it looked like the vote got split among the moderates.

2018-08-29 01:10:27 UTC  

I like some aspects of California's runoff voting. its also open.

2018-08-29 01:10:42 UTC  

It's interesting

2018-08-29 01:10:45 UTC  

I dunno. I feel it tends to lock people out.

2018-08-29 01:10:54 UTC  

Paradoxically.

2018-08-29 01:11:05 UTC  

Open Primaries should be universally used imo

2018-08-29 01:11:14 UTC  

And it opens up more avenues for party manipulation.

2018-08-29 01:11:23 UTC  

@Lagomaster24 I think they are more popular.

2018-08-29 01:11:30 UTC  

they are

2018-08-29 01:11:30 UTC  

If Californians want to be evil they could all vote for someone who will obviously fail in the real expect.

2018-08-29 01:11:40 UTC  

iirc most states have them anyway

2018-08-29 01:12:19 UTC  

What I find odd is that you'd have so many candidates but not some kind of moderated voting scheme to prevent vote splitting or something.

2018-08-29 01:12:31 UTC  

It's not a solution that usually works.

2018-08-29 01:12:42 UTC  

But it is what it is I guess.

2018-08-29 01:12:56 UTC  

Before I moved away from California the Dem were actually afraid of infighting leading to GOP victories.

2018-08-29 01:13:44 UTC  

First past the post is a good alternative.

2018-08-29 01:14:26 UTC  

that way you can vote for both your dream candidate and the most realistic winner.

2018-08-29 01:15:36 UTC  

Eh. I think the bigger thing is that picking the leader gives a big opportunity for vote splitting and stuff.

2018-08-29 01:15:40 UTC  

Helped Trump too.

2018-08-29 01:16:11 UTC  

All the Republican infighting helped him out alot.

2018-08-29 01:16:48 UTC  

Gillum won....

2018-08-29 01:16:59 UTC  

34% to 32%

2018-08-29 01:17:43 UTC  

Unfortunately, the debates have been becoming more geared showmanship for years, Trump just leveraged the existing game.

2018-08-29 01:18:25 UTC  

Maybe they should have more thought out response videos like the SWJ vs skeptic videos.

2018-08-29 01:23:39 UTC  

Don't know if this is a video worthy story but here is an article on hoe social media both helped and created fake news around the Jacksonville shooting http://www.euronews.com/2018/08/27/witness-testimonies-and-fake-news-how-the-jacksonville-shooting-played-out-on-social-the-c

2018-08-29 01:24:12 UTC  

Sam Hyde was suggested as a possible suspect.

2018-08-29 01:25:03 UTC  

HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

2018-08-29 01:28:52 UTC  

The funny part is she doesnt know why anyone is upset about this tweet

2018-08-29 01:29:41 UTC  

"These fake accounts" nah theyre just trolls
