The fight is between Biden and Warren (Bernie could come back but it's unlikely)
Warren will get more support from the more progressive side of the Party
Biden will get the moderates
What’s your theory of the case for Biden
Maybe a month ago, but polls don’t support that narrative right now
I was just stating the worst case scenario for anyone who wants Trump out of office
Which would (in my opinion) be Biden winning over Bernie or Warren
Sure
But it doesn’t make a ton of sense that that’s true AND Dems would shoot themselves in the foot
Oh, one tweet I loved from Yang. Paraphrasing a bit but it goes "if you portray your Presidential elections as a Reality TV show, don't be shocked that a Reality TV star became President"
Yeah that’s a fun line but like, so?
The reality is, buzzwords and brash decisions are preferred by the news than actual policies
And Biden sure isn’t the reality tv choice
I'm talking about Trump winning
He did well because he said the most idiotic things you can think of. Calling Mexicans "criminals", saying he'll bomb Muslim families in Syria
I disagree
I agree that the polls point to Biden not being the nominee. But isn't the DNC process for actually voting on one kind of weird?
There’s very little evidence to show that helped
No, how is it weird?
All those issues were relitigated in 2018 with disastrous consequences for trump
That’s not accurate
The party's presidential nominee is chosen primarily by pledged delegates, which are in turn selected through a series of individual state caucuses and primary elections. Superdelegates, delegates whose votes are not bound to the outcome of a state's caucus or primary, may also influence the nomination.
The size of delegations to the Democratic National Convention, for each state, territory, or other political subdivision, are described in the party's quadrennial Call for the Democratic National Convention.
Idk that seems pretty obtuse to me
Midterms usually favor conservatives
Who have higher turnout
And not indicative of polls which basically deal with it like it's a popular vote
Well hold up
First of all, superdelegates only get to vote on late ballots
Basically tie breakers
In many states you have to physically show up to some convention to "vote"
Yes, those are caucuses
Primaries aren't a thing in the UK
Secondly, the superdelegates represent the party
Definitely unique from my perspective
They’re the actual party, they keep the process from getting hijacked
They’re all elected
Or they were all elected at some point, some are legacy
Like Obama, Clinton and Carter get to vote
But that’s a tiny number of them
Yeah I'm just saying that a (popular) poll showing Biden behind doesn't necessarily translate to how many delegates will pick who
Right, but a poll in Iowa does
