Super Tuesday whistles Dixie [View all] Octafish Feb 2016 OP

How do we rectify that as a nation whose premise is All (Wo)Men are created equal? Dont call me Shirley Feb 2016 #1

E. R. A. might make a good start. Octafish Feb 2016 #7

Don't see that it would matter, and I am an original ERA door-knocker. ?? Hortensis Feb 2016 #51

Good for you. Octafish Feb 2016 #66

But you think pushing ERA consciousness Hortensis Feb 2016 #70

Not sure. I thought I was answering another question. Octafish Feb 2016 #126

Yes. And if plutocrats can redistribute America's income Hortensis Feb 2016 #127

The Process Octafish Feb 2016 #130

Yes, and every two years we could toss large Hortensis Feb 2016 #131

so my vote should not count because i am from dixie. stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #3

No, it just shouldn't count more than mine in a Blue state... Barack_America Feb 2016 #4

It actually counts less. The party rules reduce the delegations from states that don't vote Dem. Zynx Feb 2016 #6

Do the votes in South Carolina , Iowa and Nevada count. stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #10

Yep, just not only those votes. Barack_America Feb 2016 #30

Alabama just moved to super Tuesday , stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #32

Me too, and I live in a Red state. Adrahil Feb 2016 #128

No. I always prefer that my vote count. Barack_America Feb 2016 #133

Then on that, we can agree. Adrahil Feb 2016 #136

Who's that argument? No one, except for Bernie Sanders supporters who are belittling Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #38

No you didn't dsc Feb 2016 #45

Yes I did. In every state that Obama won, it was HRC's supporters who belittled those wins, Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #111

Did you forget our conversation yesterday about "Bernie Sander's supporters"? MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #53

Your lecturing and condescension won't work on me. My entire family is from the Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #82

but reading is so very, very hard, BA. kath Mar 2016 #140

No, your vote shouldn't count more than mine or anyone else's. Octafish Feb 2016 #9

when bernie fails to be elected it will be his fault no one else. stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #11

What about Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Octafish Feb 2016 #31

I don't think you'll get further response from that poster... MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #54

When they can't put into words why they support a particular position... Octafish Feb 2016 #65

Motivation? MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #69

Agenda. Octafish Feb 2016 #76

Democrat Removal System will not be televised! MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #91

That's a very simplistic view point but you are entitled to it. NWCorona Feb 2016 #46

One person, one vote. We are all created equal which many people, including Democrats have Dont call me Shirley Feb 2016 #16

South Carolina hade One person, one vote. stonecutter357 Feb 2016 #19

Redistricting has negated much of that. Dont call me Shirley Feb 2016 #26

See post #53.... MrMickeysMom Feb 2016 #55

I guess so.. but did you see how handsome Bill looks in that pic nt fun n serious Feb 2016 #18

That is a hell of a picture. Octafish Feb 2016 #67

Yes indeed. :) nt fun n serious Feb 2016 #68

That seems to be the Sanders supporters' claim. It only makes sense, since again, there are MORE Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #21

+1... SidDithers Feb 2016 #39

Their votes count in state and local elections. kiva Feb 2016 #63

And again, that stupid, fallacious (il)logic applies to other primary states that aren't reliably Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #110

OK... kiva Feb 2016 #116

Didn't mean to be insulting. Meant to point out the slave-owning mentality is what we're up against. Octafish Feb 2016 #71

you do know the Civil War was a few years back, don't you DrDan Feb 2016 #5

Missing your snarky point? Unless it is taking issue with the word Dixie. libdem4life Feb 2016 #14

Not black people. Geez! Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #22

no problem with "Dixie" DrDan Feb 2016 #41

Just read it differently...sorry. libdem4life Feb 2016 #92

So why is the mass media constantly shoving the civil war in our faces since bush2 was appointed? Dont call me Shirley Feb 2016 #17

I guess you could ask them DrDan Feb 2016 #42

Simple observation points to their underlying objective, Divide And Conquer. Dont call me Shirley Feb 2016 #44

That's what the tee vee said, too, yet racism and property rights trump civil and human rights. Octafish Feb 2016 #24

it's actually the black vote which is going to be consequential in those states bigtree Feb 2016 #12

Which is good. And shows where we need to do more work. Attracting ALL voters. Octafish Feb 2016 #72

That picture reinforces the notion that a small clique have choreographed our political "contests" GoneFishin Feb 2016 #13

Oligarchy...the best 1% money can buy. Knows no Red or Blue Party...it's the true Green Party... libdem4life Feb 2016 #20

Yep. It's about the money. GoneFishin Feb 2016 #27

And the backroom action this money empowers...and it's not for We, the People. libdem4life Feb 2016 #33

Amazing image. Here's another photo ALL people should see. Octafish Feb 2016 #73

There's a reason these states are early in the primary PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #15

Thanks so much!!! More Democratic voters per capita as well. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #23

I live in a very red county in Wisconsin. We gained some infamy during a state Supreme Court race PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #29

Here's an even bigger issue: REDISTRICTING! It's one reason why Democrats got more votes but Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #35

Oh yeah. That killed us here, too. I almost gave up on politics when Russ lost. PeaceNikki Feb 2016 #36
