I'm seriously wondering how she can possibly get any worse short of actually switching parties. She is just absolute garbage.

Oh the poll I saw was not based on candidate support as the metric, but policy I believe.
African americans are still pretty religious and socially conservative.
In any case, apart from a few issues, Sanders is to the left of Hillary. that is pretty undeniable. Though you are fair to say that support of candidate is not perfectly correlated with views as people vote for things other than policy stances.
Never gonna happen. He's barely a democrat. Agreed that DWS is a shill though. Don't know who I'd want to take her place though.
It's a good choice, but probably too hard to reprogram him.

Watching a bunch of con men like Paul Ryan, who employed dogwhistle tactics while proposing plans to slash vital services affecting minorities, have the nerve to call someone else out over bigotry is beyond disgusting. Complete fraud with no conscience worth talking about.
Well, the GOP has been a circus that is, at least, fun to watch. And knowing the last two elections on the US, there's little chance they're going to win.
But her actions go completely against one of the most important things in politics, at least for me: separate them from money. And it comes from the dems, the one of the two parties that should think of doing that.
As it stands, I don't think the young people will be interested enough to vote.

Clinton and DWS better do a damn good job at getting out the vote during the midterms.

I doubt DWS will be DNC chair past this year.

Hopefully we're looking at Clinton and someone else by the time the 2018 cycle really gets going, because even I'm gonna need a better reason to vote for Democrats if DWS is still in that chair

Then they should get them interested.
Can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Under 30's don't give a shit without that POTUS glory position to vote on.
Then they should start implementing some of the economic policies from the Sander's campaign. There's a reason hes doing a lot better than Clinton with young people.
Honestly. If Obama couldn't get them out I doubt anything really will. Voter turnout is usually low during midterms.
I remember the bloodbath. Turnout wasn't even high it's just that no one really showed up. Republicans have the advantage when turnout is low.

The same people not even bothering to come out and vote for him. Young turnout has been crap
Until voting can be done through some phone app young turnout will be down in most elections.
Everyone running away from Obama sure as shit didn't help turnout either.

I think it is not just policy, but style of governance.
She would have to govern differently from Obama. (Fighting for the people and pointing out BS from either Republicans and outside interests instead of trying to bring everyone to the table to their a share. )
I think she will be better than Obama for the former, on the latter, it will probably be the same.

Unfortunately until younger voters show they're a forced to be reckoned with when it comes to voting for... anything really... they're going to focus on the issues older generations care more about.

Hey everyone, remember when Howard Dean was deemed ineligible for president by the media and public when he said "whooyeaaaaah!" once at a single rally?
Not at all, but I doubt they'd turn up anyway. Not to mention this was also the rise of the Tea Party. They were motivated.

Some of us aren't Dems to begin with, so we aren't pretending. A lot of us are tired of the centrist policies and near constant capitulation and gave up on them. Sanders (who let's not forget isn't a Dem either) running gave us the opportunity to push for him on a national election, so we did.

Like those facts you couldn't back up last night regarding your claims on campaign finance reform?
What are your opinions on Prop 8?
Not sayin that's why he lost but I know damn well it didn't help lol.

Got back from voting

woah woah all I need is an hour.
Luckily, it takes more than 15 states to secure the nomination. The south doesn't make up the full electorate of this country, and the gaps can close a lot in a month or two.
If you want to call it after March 15th, i won't stop you, but your glee is a bit early today.
Some places have longer lines than others and not everyone works near where they vote.
This I agree with and it's something that should be law. I think you'd get many more people out to vote

The collapse would have occurred under Dean and we'd likely have had a republican president for four years after if not 8.
Isn't it rather unethical to attempt to subvert a party primary process then? This has been one of my biggest issues with Sanders. He isn't really a Democrat but since he has so little faith that the grass roots movement he's selling can actually work he decided to attempt a hijacking of the Democratic Primary process.
I mean, that strikes at the very core of his message. The "revolution" isn't strong enough to stand on it's own. The "revolution" can't support him on the national stage without being embedded into the two party system. Yet at the same time the "revolution" is going to end money in politics via a single POTUS election when the POTUS is the position least subject to financial leverage in any way.
It requires either an entirely disingenuous view on what he claims or massive amounts of delusion.
True. Good point!

absentee ballots exist and are completely free so who has an excuse?

Employees in Texas get time off to vote if they don't get 2 consecutive hours outside their work day. Well, today Texas gets 12 hours today to go vote. That is plenty of time and totally fulfills the 2 hour criteria for the vast, vast majority of voters.
Combine that with the 1.5 weeks of early voting time that more than a million people took advantage of this year and sorry but people who care are able to find the time.

Both parties have colluded to subvert the entire process, from fundraising, message control, debates, etc., successfully enough that it's essentially impossible without working from within them. Never mind that FPTP forces the 'lesser evil' vote far too often.
Don't forget that certain states have open primaries and you can decide which one to participate in when you walk in the door. Hardly unethical, unless you aren't doing it in good faith.
Not everyone is aware that such a system exists for them... Simplify the process, just give everyone time to get it done.

If you don't know absentee ballots exist you don't really care about voting.
I'd be happy to receive a day off in order to fill out a two-sided piece of paper and put it in my mailbox.
