Hilarious. And of course, it turns out to be another mean-looking blonde.

Voting turn out appeared very light this AM here in NoVa.
I want to see lines out the door!

So I had a unique (for me) experience voting this morning. Got my ballot, went to the booth and froze. Going around in my head: If Biden gets it, how many progressives will stay home? If Bernie gets it, how many moderates will stay home or go with Trump? How the hell did the Dems get this fucking polarized? And are we really not capable of seeing how much damage Il Douche is doing to our country that we would, if nothing else, fail to vote against Trump even if our fave is not the nominee? Finally voted Bernie, but damn, I wish I did not have the feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are going to find a way to screw ourselves again.

Agreed, except that I don’t think the party elites who seem poised to screw Bernie out of the nomination again think of me as part of their “we.”

I still have these from 2016 – on that Super Tuesday, the GOP field had yet to be (completely) winnowed.

The main reason she’s “unelectable” is people are playing strategic voting games (“I love Warren, but I need to vote [insert appropriate B here] because they have a better chance of winning/we need to stop [other B] here”).

Honestly, none of us can predict the future, so when it comes to voting all we can really do is vote our morals and ethics, and support the candidate we think is best…
I agree, especially considering all that is aligned against us in having a free and fair election.

So Mike’s strategy is hoping that Joe will have a big stroke before the convention?

Does anyone ever wonder if the generational story of baby boomers being free to make their own way is kind of cover for them being neglected by parents who were scarred from the wars and the depression?

I had such a similar moment! I got there, felt a sense of dread, cast my vote for Sanders, immediately felt intense self-doubt, guilt, and a sense of despair for the future I can only describe as being grateful I don’t have children.

If we can’t vote for who we really want in the primary, when can we ever vote for who we really want?
One of our departed mutant siblings had some things to say about this line of reasoning

The DNC has hundreds of members, so that’s a lot of phone calls. Unless they meant the DNC leadership, but the ones who pushed for Hilary were thrown out on their collective asses (thank goodness).
The idea that people on the left view the DNC as the big enemy here must bring constant comfort and joy Mitch McConnell and his buddies at Fox.

TLDR:
-
We’ll all be feeling pretty foolish if we agonize about it and finally vote for Biden in the primary because he’s “electable” and then he loses the general election
-
Getting mad at general election voters because they didn’t follow our plan won’t help

well, not the big enemy.
but you’ve got to admit that changing the debate rules to allow bloomberg in was terrible. they did little to help the possibly viable minority candidates - but the billionaire, please sir come right in.
there’s also the number of democrat talking heads hand wringing about socialism, while the democrat party itself stands silently by. silence is it’s own action.

I voted this morning (Minnesota). There was hardly anyone there—three people ahead of me, no one behind me. Then again, it was mid-morning (about 10:45 am) on a weekday. And there was only one thing on the ballot. And Republicans don’t really need to vote in this primary. But then again, my area is heavily Democratic, so even without Republicans voting you’d think there would have been more voters there.
I was in and out in a couple of minutes. I filled in one little oval with the provided black pen, and fed my ballot into the slot. The electronic vote-counting machine wasn’t working for some reason (not sure if that should make me uneasy??) and I was told that they’d be counting the ballots by hand.
