Primaries aren't a thing in the UK

2019-10-23 21:28:49 UTC  

Secondly, the superdelegates represent the party

2019-10-23 21:29:08 UTC  

Definitely unique from my perspective

2019-10-23 21:29:16 UTC  

They’re the actual party, they keep the process from getting hijacked

2019-10-23 21:29:21 UTC  

They’re all elected

2019-10-23 21:29:35 UTC  

Or they were all elected at some point, some are legacy

2019-10-23 21:29:45 UTC  

Like Obama, Clinton and Carter get to vote

2019-10-23 21:30:16 UTC  

But that’s a tiny number of them

2019-10-23 21:30:25 UTC  

Yeah I'm just saying that a (popular) poll showing Biden behind doesn't necessarily translate to how many delegates will pick who

2019-10-23 21:30:37 UTC  

Right, but a poll in Iowa does

2019-10-23 21:31:18 UTC  

Caucuses are more unpredictable than primaries because they have basically instant runoff voting

2019-10-23 21:31:41 UTC  

And people literally can just convince people in the convention hall to support someone else in the next round

2019-10-23 21:31:52 UTC  

Not to mention that different states allow different groups to vote

2019-10-23 21:32:00 UTC  

Florida is a closed primary

2019-10-23 21:32:03 UTC  

Ohio is open

2019-10-23 21:32:24 UTC  

Yeah they should all be closed imo

2019-10-23 21:32:38 UTC  

But I see the logic both ways

2019-10-23 21:32:46 UTC  

Or at least semi closed (I forgot the official term for it(

2019-10-23 21:32:52 UTC  

But pollsters take those factors into account

2019-10-23 21:35:04 UTC  

Local pollsters are often better because they understand unique things about the local pops to take into account

2019-10-23 21:35:32 UTC  

Like look at Ann selzer, the top rated pollsters who picked up Obama’s win in Iowa early

2019-10-23 21:36:39 UTC  

She was able to see first time voters were leaning overwhelmingly for Obama, while other pollsters weighting likely voters by past behavior weren’t picking up that signal

2019-10-23 21:39:36 UTC  

sophie is pretty boring because all she talks about is the same shit over and over

2019-10-23 21:39:42 UTC  

shaking my head my head

2019-10-23 21:42:21 UTC  

Are you tired of seeing politics talk on this politics channel of this politics server?

2019-10-23 21:42:35 UTC  

Maybe fuck off?

2019-10-23 21:43:42 UTC  

Drumf bad <:peepodumb:538083903835996176>

2019-10-23 21:44:00 UTC  

Also I have never previously brought up Iowa polling or Ann selzer. You’re confused because it’s over your head, just like most thugs in this channel

2019-10-23 21:44:11 UTC  

sophie's entire political philosophy involves bashing trump

2019-10-23 21:44:16 UTC  

ItS aLl ObAmA

2019-10-23 21:44:21 UTC  

nothing more to her than that

2019-10-23 21:44:36 UTC  

@doo-doo-ewwwww that doesn’t address my question, I asked about policy goals, not accomplishment claims

2019-10-23 21:44:37 UTC  

If I hate trump can I get nudes?

2019-10-23 21:44:59 UTC  

It’s certainly a prerequisite.

2019-10-23 21:45:27 UTC  

Well he wants more miltary power. Less taxes. His great beautiful wall.

2019-10-23 21:45:46 UTC  

Hes a soft ass Republican

2019-10-23 21:47:14 UTC  

He bent to Turkey like a bitch

2019-10-23 21:47:23 UTC  

Trump wants to " win". Period. What he wins he doesn't really care about. There is no philosphy there, no plan, no values. Actually I think Trump is a example of a pathologically extreme extrovert. He cares more about his image then he does any internal value.

2019-10-23 21:48:48 UTC  

Hehe interesting theory

2019-10-23 21:49:53 UTC  

Pathological extreme extrovert does sound better than attention whore
