Cool stuff here. If they keep this up Biden might have a chance.

Except that the DNC nor Biden's campaign asked them to do this. This was all Cuomo to prevent challengers in downballot by dampening turnout and it's disgusting. Bernie needs to unsuspend to keep his name on the ballot, not because there's any chance of winning but to keep some leverage at the convention.

Why do you not care about literally any non presidential race?

Maybe I'm missing something but hasn't Biden already all but won the primary ?

And with Corona virus, having voting right now would mean deaths
When the going gets tough, the tough go have a little cry in the corner.

But that's why NY has expanded absentee balloting.

Now this is performative. You came into this topic unaware of why Sanders still wants the primary and now youre looking for ways to dismiss legitimate reasons for holding the primary via mail in ballot.

Explain to me the primary out come of holding this race. What realistically changes?

I thought Bernie suspended his campaign, because it was unsafe to continue (ie., like Biden), this means he's just not running anymore?

More delegates = more influence on the official Democratic Party platform and the DNC rules

I understand that rationale. That wasn't my question!

Do you expect Bernie to win enough delegates in NY to actually make a difference in that end process?

Let's see the math. How many delegates does might he win based on projections? How does that many delegate difference effect the end result?

If you understood that then you wouldnt be acting like the primary is inconsequential.

What is gained by disenfranchising New York voters? Argue in favor of something for once.

I notice you didn't answer my questions.

I'm in favor for focusing on things that matter, like dealing with the most heavily hit state in this pandemic. Figuring out the logistics of holding an election that very likely doesn't change any outcome seems silly.

If anyone could provide a clear argument for how it would realistically change anything, I'm all ears and will be ready to say I was wrong.

running an election in the middle of a pandemic for a race that only has one real candidate that every other candidate has already dropped out and endorsed seems like a waste of time and money

This is why Bernie suspending his campaign never made any sense if he still wanted to acquire delegates.

Sanders explicitly explained that delegates get him more power to set the Democratic platform and has advocated for voting by mail. Since some people here seem confused.

This is like when you said there will be no difference between a Sanders and Biden presidency because of Congress and I listed all the things Trump has done without going through Congress and you said that doesnt count.

The reason is very clear: the type of systems that people enacted take longer than the time period of a single presidency. There's a reason Trump tried, and failed, to enact healthcare reform through legislation.

shockthemonkey posted...
And the Democratic Party platform is what they will try to enact under a Biden presidency so it is very important.

But I don't understand the function that links delegates to power in this. Like, how many delegates makes a difference? I want to know, realisically, what you could expect the actual effect of a primary in NY to yield for progressive policy. It seems you just don't know that and are simply hoping that it would help.

It was decided by the Wisconsin supreme court you clown, he had zero control over it. Both Biden and Bernie's campaigns encouraged people to vote after a delay was made impossible.

He didn't even call for a delay when others were! He was encouraging people to vote prior to the WI supreme court decision lmao you cant rewrite what literally just happened.
