1) If one assumes the VP pick actually matters at all, it's only in terms of optics and swing states. Something neither offers.
2) I don't think they actually like each other at all regardless of what they say.
3) I don't think the general election will be won by appealing to the left and the further left in the way the primary process forces candidates to do.
4) There are multiple better picks for VP.

Yeah, adding a socialist/atheist to the ticket to energize the base doesn't seem wise, especially when they're both white/old/not from swing states.

I find this to be an odd result. I'm not even in the older bracket of millenials!

I got a 43.

Ya. I'm really out of touch with the young people. I actually just ordered my 1st ever cell phone today. I got an iPhone. I'm moving on up in the world.

I got 76, probably because I haven't sent a text message in the past 24 hours, and have no tattoos or piercings.

Sanders/clinton would be a very justifiable choice for sanders, since his chief concern is being seen as too xtreem/delusional. Plus all that making ammends hogwash and giving center dems a way to save face when supporting him and all. Worked in Brazil

Clinton/sanders makes no sense. She has other venues to try to capture the demographics she lacks.

Fwiw iirc sanders has a somewhat decent bipartisanship record. Not that it would matter, given that hills has already flat-out called republicans her enemies.

Obama had a decent bipartisanship record too before he became President too. It's almost like becoming President changes how Republican's have to work with you.

Indeed, but Sanders has the advantage of Not Being a President While Black.


(By which i mean that "he/she cant work with congress is a red herring. No point in discussing that since reps b cray cray)

 

[shinra-bansho]

Are we referring to the VA reform, or something else...?

 

[benjipwns]

One of these white supremacist anti-women anti-gay racists that make up 100% of the Sanders campaign would probably assassinate Hillary to make Bernie president.

Communists have a history of killing Presidents.

Yes but he's going to be president while being a socialist, that'll go over about as well.

 

[Holmes]

What's interesting wrt to Clinton's black support from political leaders is that in 2008, they all jumped ship to Obama really quickly when he won Iowa and proved to be competitive. This year after New Hampshire and they're doubling down on Clinton and campaigning for her in South Carolina and other black communities in the country. I think it's a bad sign for Sanders trying to pick up AA support.

Dollars to donuts any dem candidate could be fellating Reagan's corpse while trying to abolish all forms of (poor people's) welfare and putting The Gays in concentration camps and theyd still find a way to try to make the dude a one term president.

Just another reason why things aren't the same as in 2008 but whatever let's just keep saying it until it becomes true.

47. Hm.

 

[mid83]

I'm an 86. Figured I'd be lower just based on my politics.

 

[A Human Becoming]

83 points sounds right for me.

EDIT: Saying everyone born after '80 is a millennial is dumb.

 

[Wilsongt]

98. jesus fuck. The news, newspaper, and text messages probably got me. I've been sick the last couple of days and haven't left the house, so no watching the news or reading the news.

I think text messaging was the thing for me too. I was about to put a very low number but then I realized WhatsApp probably counts.

 

[dramatis]

I'm an 85 you old farts

 

[Makai]

91

 

[theprodigy]

93

probably would've been higher if the video game question was expanded to last 48 hours

 

[Aaron Strife]

Got a 95.

Not complaining mainly because the people who do complain about millennials tend to just be whiners.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Huh. I'm a straight up Gen X'er (born 1969!) and I got a 67 on that quiz.

What is worse a godless commie Jew that fraternized with our ancient enemy(USSR) or a black guy?

 

[timetokill]

I got a 70. Born in 84. No tats, no piercings.

 

[thezerofire]

74, I think a bunch of it because I have a landline because I couldn't get internet without one, I don't have a tattoo (yet), and didn't play videogames yesterday

 

[NeoXChaos]

Does HRC have a hold on the black vote or is it up for grabs? can Sanders make inroads in SC that can reverberate here in LA?

Robert Mann ‏@RTMannJr 6m6 minutes ago Baton Rouge, LA
For now, I think she does. But could change. She needs to crush it in SC.

was a staffer for John Breaux(LA) now a Professor at LSU.

[User1608]

I got a 91, sounds about right. Born in '91 BTW. I dress like a hipster so I'll add another 10 points.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I got a 70. Born in 84.

Realizing I answered the government official question wrong my score changed to this. My mom, a baby boomer, got an 88: she sends text messages and plays videos games (candy crush-esque) more than I do.

I was born in '89.

 

[JesseEwiak]

The truth is, 25 to 50% of the conservative base believes that any Democratic victory is illegitimate.

 

[User 406]

54. I don't do all that texty tweety crap. But I do play the shit out of video games.

Heh, I said "yes" to the government official thing because I tweet at them (or their handlers if it's not Trump I guess lol) occasionally.

 

[User 463088]

How the heck did I get so low? Is it because my parents were married when I was growing up? I was born in 87. I'm not that out of touch, although I don't know what a WhatsApp is. Is it like the Facebook? Or more like a Twitter?

Spoiler

Kidding. I actually know what WhatsApp is. I think.

Edit: It's the TV one for me. I jump up like 20 points if I say I haven't watched an hour of TV. Gotta watch my Flash. Once I get my tattoo next month, I'm going to be so much cooler.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I love Trump. He just said at his rally that China trains negotiators since the age of three.

I send them emails about legislation through the Countable app. I forgot all about it.

Also what happened to Earthworm Jim?

 

[shinra-bansho]

81. Yuck.

So, for the Dem NV caucuses a precinct in a county with less than 400 registered Dems gets 1 delegate for every 5, but for one that has 4000 or more gets 1 for every 50.
I'm assuming this is how Obama won them last time around. It also seems like it would make polling pretty useless.

Put another way, if you win by five votes in ten smaller precincts you'd net an extra ten delegates, compared to the extra one delegate you'd get winning by 50 votes in a larger precinct.

NV was going to have a primary but the bill died. Caucuses have got to go.

The guy who makes Earthworm Jim is crazy conservative. I was kind of bummed to hear it.

He wrote a lolsy article a while back called something like "Republican is the new punk" Yeah because when I think of punk I think of small government and Christian values
