NVs rules are written pretty unclearly. When I looked them up last week I interpreted them the other way (that candidates failing to get 15% on the first alignment were immediately eliminated) myself.

I've seen like five different people have different opinions on how the NV caucus works. I'll just assume it'll end up working against Bernie and go from there.

Trump was already cracking 40% in Nevada in 2016. I wonder when Bernie will top that or get his first majority? Any predictions?

Im not going to celebrate just yet, but right now its looking like the Patriots are beating up on the Jets 48-3 while some of their fans in the stands are crying because there was one missed holding call.

If Biden cant win SC big Super Tuesday is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuun.

I mean with everyone below 15% being nonviable, Bernie technically has his first majority at 37%.

Bernie is currently at 44% in the poll tracker. He's going to keep falling as votes come in, but uh, he has quite a lot of room to fall and still call this a commanding victory. I would've been extremely satisfied with 35% today.

That's a pretty gross comparison. Fair and representative democracy vs recreational sporting event.

i understood the point of your metaphor and it's still gross!

shaming people for being concerned about the fairness of elections, even if the unfairness doesn't change the result, is a bad look

For lack of a better word that doesn't sound like a conspiracy theory, the 'establishment' is very much against Bernie and has been consistently against Bernie. And considering the Iowa caucus, where known-but-uncorrected math errors cost him a clean win, I think pointing out points of failure in the voting process is important. It won't matter today, but it WILL matter someday in the future.

Not to mention these events are always stuffed with the network's most conservative hosts/pundits the network has. Like really, Brian Williams, Nicole Wallace, and Chris Matthews, along with Claire McCaskill hogging up all the commentary as she does?... and for whatever the hell excuse they have for making Carville a thing these days like why even

Every time someone complains about Bernie supporters being mean, maybe remind them of mainstream media comparing Bernie directly to Nazis?

I dunno, this seems kind of bad.
