Because California and Texas make up right around 25% of the United States total population :p. California has the same population as the 22 smallest states combined.

 

Yes, I was a little sarcastic there :lol:  I told you before the only party primaries should be held in Texas, California, Florida and maybe Illinois. Who wins two out of three or 3/4 gets the official nomination. Everything else simply generates costs and hollow media attention (hell, media talk about politics all year anyway so they don't need all these primaries tbh). Everyone would get to vote in the only voting that matters in November.

Yeah there’s states that matter, and then there’s Mississippi, Arkansas, Kanas, Wisconsin, etc. All these primaries have done is alienate voters left and right. The infighting between progressives and moderates is reaching critical mass right now. At this point, a Moderate is a just as much as my “enemy” as a conservative. I will downright refuse to vote for Biden over Trump because they represent the same ideas to me. The party needs Sanders, but they’re not listening to the people who will decide the next 3/4 decades of elections.

@Maxim Fastovsky I’m assuming you went for NO on R? I’m just wondering what the argument for that would be.

I told you like 6 months ago all this Dems in-fighting is completely useless and only helps the sitting President. They should have had these 3-4 primaries last fall and now there should be an official nominee in heads-up poker versus Trump already.

 

I wonder how many Dem voters will refuse to vote for Sanders over Trump like you will refuse to vote for Biden? (despite some polls showing beating Trump is more important than the candidate's views). The split within the party is another great boost for Trump yet I feel like it's underestimated in the big picture. He's upset the mainstream odds vs Hilary Clinton already and he might well do this again esp. if Biden voters won't vote for Sanders or vice versa.

Becuase my generation (and a good portion of the millennials) are done with the mainstream. Mainstream has got us nowhere in the last 3 decades. We need radical change in this country, in order to save it.

It’s not looking great for Bernie. I’m highly disappointed with the “left”. We’re going to elect a mildly racist, billionaire, who chums it up with conservatives on a daily basis into the White House. Sanders should run as an Independent just to completely fuck over Biden.

The question is whether mainstream allows the millenials to run mainstream out of business? :p US politics is old money, Ivy League and big ego. Rebels are destined to fail.

 

The only way to blow this up if there's a third main party on the scene that will unsettle the 150+ years of GOP/Dems dominance. That's the radical change neccessary.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
