51. No one should have to go through days of caucuses at several levels

Sat Apr 2, 2016, 11:08 PM

Apr 2016

and in several locations just to make sure their votes get counted.

That's why MOST states eliminated caucuses a long time ago. They're just a form of vote suppression.

I was under the impression that Hillary got more votes on election day iandhr Apr 2016 #26

She did. But an email went out to all delegates pnwmom Apr 2016 #31

She sent her own followers the wrong message rofl revbones Apr 2016 #36

Lol, you're so right. BeanMusical Apr 2016 #41

So it was the Clinton campaign that sent out this email??? PatrickforO Apr 2016 #58

I'm just going off the screenshot from another thread. revbones Apr 2016 #59

Kramar isn't part of the Clinton campaign. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #60

If true though, then justice was done. PatrickforO Apr 2016 #61

I haven't seen any evidence that it was. pnwmom Apr 2016 #64

You know, I participated in my own state's caucus and while I had lots of fun, got to make a short PatrickforO Apr 2016 #69

And think about all the people who couldn't participate. pnwmom Apr 2016 #74

Hillary didn't send the email. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #62

Well...if your assertion about the false email is true, and I have no reason to doubt you, PatrickforO Apr 2016 #57

LOL. Reid cheated for her on caucus day. Reid stacked the Vegas caucuses with casino employees. mhatrw Apr 2016 #101

That wasn't cheating. What is cheating -- and despicable -- is relying on a caucus pnwmom Apr 2016 #106

Can you please post this email you speak of? cui bono Apr 2016 #105

Apparently her people aren't motivated to show up. nt revbones Apr 2016 #37

I have heard some got messages that they didn't not need to show up iandhr Apr 2016 #42

Exactly. The same mailers that had been getting sent to Sanders supporters from her camp revbones Apr 2016 #46

And you have evidence? iandhr Apr 2016 #48

No one should have to go through days of caucuses at several levels pnwmom Apr 2016 #51

I guess those votes were conditional. Mary Mac Apr 2016 #50

Well, Pnwmom's griping about caucuses are conditional, too Scootaloo Apr 2016 #63

I've been griping about caucuses for 30+ years. They are elitist, pnwmom Apr 2016 #65

Sounds exhausting! No wonder you took breaks for Iowa and Nevada. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #68

No I did not. I started warning about caucuses here before the first one happened. pnwmom Apr 2016 #75

Except when Clinton wins Iowa by 0.02%, and you brag about her superdelegates? Scootaloo Apr 2016 #77

You're projecting, Mr. Zealot. Super delegates are a part of the primary system, pnwmom Apr 2016 #79

I'm pointing out that you had no issue with the Iowa caucus Scootaloo Apr 2016 #80

Yes, I did. I complained loudly about the Iowa caucus -- all the caucuses -- before, pnwmom Apr 2016 #82

Again, sure didn't look like you had any problems with it at the time. Scootaloo Apr 2016 #83

That's because you ignored most of the posts I was writing. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #85

Maybe DU's search feature isn't very good? Scootaloo Apr 2016 #86

No, it's your inability to use it that's the problem. Type in my screen name pnwmom Apr 2016 #87

I used pnwmom, Iowa, caucus Scootaloo Apr 2016 #88

You really do have a reading comprehension problem ,in addition to your pnwmom Apr 2016 #90
