Some data is bouncing around on Twitter suggesting that in Michigan Comrade Candidate won about two-thirds of the under-45 vote with Slow Joe winning two-thirds of the 45-and-over vote. I even saw an alleged data point claiming that the Bellowing Old Marxist won something like 85% of the 18-29 vote and the Delaware Mush-mind won 85% of the 65-and-over vote. It will be really interesting to see how the young ‘un react to a Biden ticket.

The only remaining item of interest is whom Biden will pick as his running mate. It’s extra important this time around, because of Biden’s age and diminishing mind. Hopefully he realizes that, although the primary campaign is not over, he needs to consider the general election, where it traditionally behooves a candidate to court the center of the spectrum.

Biden pushes for sit-down debate format amid mounting health-related concerns, report says – 3/10/20

Bernie Sanders’ campaign is accusing Joe Biden of pushing for a sit-down format at the March 15 presidential primary debate in Phoenix, according to a new report that highlights mounting concerns over the 77-year-old former vice president’s stamina and cognitive ability.

Sanders’ team raised the alarm about the sit-down format during a Friday call with CNN, which is set to moderate the debate along with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Politico reported this weekend. All previous primary debates this cycle have required candidates to stand at podiums; and during his one-on-one debates with Hillary Clinton in 2016, Sanders stood alongside her. -source, https://1010wcis.com/fox-politics/biden-pushes-for-sit-down-debate-format-amid-mounting-health-concerns-report-says/

Interesting that in Washington state it’s very close between the two elderly dudes, but each one of them only has roughly one-third of the vote. You still have Mayor Napoleon, Lieawatha, and the Boy Mayor each grabbing their 7-10% share of the vote, and Amy Klobuchar picking up a few percent of her own. I suppose the next big thing the Democrats are going to insist upon next time is ranked-choice voting, which means that the ballots will take as long to count as they did in Iowa.

Bernie wins North Dakota caucus thingy. I have noticed a pattern. Bernie does better in those states that cannot count votes efficiently. In Iowa, Nevada, California, North Dakota and Washington, Sanders brought home higher numbers.

I am not a fan of the mail-in ballot unless it arrives by election day. If the electoral college were to hinge on one of the late counting states, it would be Gore/Bush all over again. And probably worse.

And why doesn’t everyone adopt the easiest paper ballot voting? Ours is fill-in-the-oval paper that is read by machine. Seems to me to be pretty reliable and quick with a paper trail.

The mail in ballot is a disaster for the primaries. California famously moved its primary up to be more influential in the ultimate nominee in primaries. The dilatory process in counting the votes means that it isn’t, as the result ends up coming after everyone else’s votes are counted.

Bernie Sanders did not make a speech and went back to Vermont. It is not because of coronovirus because Biden made a speech, although they both did not have rallies afterwards.

The Phoenix debate Sunday (if it happens) will be without a studio audience, like on radio, but I also herd that it will be turned into a town meeting where members of the audience ask questions. (?)

It also has been changed into both candidates sitting down. Bernie Sanders’ people want both candidates standing at podiums, like before.

Ragspierre (d9bec9) — 3/11/2020 @ 9:19 am

Biden has been running for president for practically all of my adult life. Only this year, in his third race for the Democratic nomination, has he ever won a primary or a caucus. Now he’s won several and leads in the delegate count. I didn’t think he’d get this far, but apparently he’s on a roll.

Obviously, Democratic voters, major donors, power brokers, and super-delegates are not going to nominate Sanders. He should have learned that in 2016. His communist/socialist revival was always a delusion. The Democrats don’t support him, and the Republicans/Independents/Libertarians will never vote for him. So he might as well cash it in. He has no path to the nomination and no chance in the election. It’s over.

Hence, the race comes down to Trump, who is running unopposed, and Biden. I won’t be voting for either. I’ll be doing my Libertarian thing again this year, registering a protest vote against the duopoly.

This two-party system, which is an unintended consequence of the electoral college, is destroying this democratic republic. Both parties are equally corrupt and hypocritical, and the only viable third party is full of kooks. Still, I would vote for the latter, before I would for the previous two.

I have never voted for a Democrat in my life, except in city and county elections when there was no other candidate running. I will not be voting for any Trumpublican.

Trump is completely unacceptable; he always has been. Why the RNC went all in for him is beyond my comprehension. Maybe it was all about beating Hillary Clinton, and Trump was barely able to do that. He did lose the popular vote. Any one of several nominees could have done better.

Look at us now. We have an inept, incompetent, unfit, and corrupt man in office. And we’re going to replace him with Biden? He’s as equally inept, incompetent, unfit, and corrupt.

Neither of them can form a sensible sentence.

40. The problems in Florida in 2000 were not caused by optical scan paper ballots, like what is used for lottery numbers and in many standardized tests, but by punch card ballots. The original manufacturer abandoned it and a company was organized by sales people to make them and sell them to people who ran elections.

It cost jurisdictions that used it votes in statewide elections.

Gawain,

The two-party system involves broad coalitions and neither will ever be principled — they cannot be that and not narrow considerably. However, they are not immutable, as Trump has demonstrated; the Reagan-era GOP consensus ran its course and foundered on China and out-sourcing.

Trump has demolished that consensus, but he has created very little; his successors will have to put the pieces back together. I would prefer those successors were liberty-oriented, but only the GOP holds any hope of that.

I’ve been a member of the LP, and was a LP assembly candidate in 1994. Yes, kooks. And kooks who are FAR more interested in purity tests than winning elections; seemingly a feature of all ideological parties. It turned out that only the GOP had any potential for embracing liberty.

Consider the partial loaf.

“ There are multiple disconcerting moments in the video like this one. Moments that display Biden’s ability to lie to a voter’s face, bully a voter with physical threats, throw profanities at a voter who challenges his positions and his aggressive “shushing” of a female campaign staffer trying to mitigate the damage of the confrontation. We could breakdown any one of these moments to illustrate Biden’s mendacity or his possible mental instability.

But, there is one over-riding takeaway form this exchange that not only meshes with other unfortunate encounters Biden’s had on the campaign trail with everyday American voters (“look fat,” “You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier,” etc.). And, this takeaway also meshes with his behavior as a U.S. Senator and as vice president over the past several decades.

It’s this: Joe Biden is an angry man who just doesn’t like you.“

Kenneth Arrow proved in 1951 that ranked choice voting is no panacea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow%27s_impossibility_theorem

In social choice theory, Arrow’s impossibility theorem, the general possibility theorem or Arrow’s paradox is an impossibility theorem stating that when voters have three or more distinct alternatives (options), no ranked voting electoral system can convert the ranked preferences of individuals into a community-wide (complete and transitive) ranking while also meeting a specified set of criteria: unrestricted domain, non-dictatorship, Pareto efficiency, and independence of irrelevant alternatives. The theorem is often cited in discussions of voting theory as it is further interpreted by the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem. The theorem is named after economist and Nobel laureate Kenneth Arrow, who demonstrated the theorem in his doctoral thesis and popularized it in his 1951 book Social Choice and Individual Values. The original paper was titled “A Difficulty in the Concept of Social Welfare”.[1]

In short, the theorem states that no rank-order electoral system can be designed that always satisfies these three “fairness” criteria:

If every voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, then the group prefers X over Y.

If every voter’s preference between X and Y remains unchanged, then the group’s preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged (even if voters’ preferences between other pairs like X and Z, Y and Z, or Z and W change).

There is no “dictator”: no single voter possesses the power to always determine the group’s preference.

Sammy Finkelman (9570ad) — 3/11/2020 @ 12:59 pm

a ballot could result in an alternative nobody really wanted in the first place, yet everybody voted for.

Ranked choice voting doesn’t avoid this.

But some systems maybe could get that result more often.

Bernie would be a fool to drop out before the convention. Slow Joe might self-destruct or or suffer a collapse (physical or mental) before the first roll call. Plus, Bernie needs to have at least one debate with Slow Joe – lets see what Biden is made up. If you’re playing a drinking game based on Joe’s expected gaffes, bring a whole bottle.

This.

And even if Joe was physically sound (he’s had a brain aneurysm) and mentally sound (he’s also senile, including irritable, like when he asked a union member to “Go outside,” the other day), which he isn’t—there’s coronavirus.

62. But Bernie said:

Joe, importantly, what are you going to do to end the absurdity of billionaires buying elections and the three wealthiest people in America owning more wealth than the bottom half of our people?

What billionaire bought what election?

They can buy attention, but not elections

If Biden says he doesn’t remember, how can you doubt him?

@75. The CA ‘banked vote’ totals aren’t fully counted yet, either– CA still hasn’t been called: just the ‘day of’ vote numbers with the Clyburn thumbprint on the scales have been tallied, so nobody knows yet what percentage of the vote and delegate count either he or JoeyBee — or Tulsi, or any other of the party-pinched dropout weasels will get, either. Such a sad, sloppy, muddled display of so called ‘American democracy’ on display to the world… and Putin smiled.
