2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bernie insults black voters and lies about the math ... [View all]Autumn
(44,762 posts)50. Colorado is not the only state with mail in ballots. How do you figure that mail in ballots in a
primary will disenfranchise a significant number of people? Do you think that caucuses are inclusive? Because caucus disenfranchise a lot and I mean a lot of voters, the voters who actually need to have a say in choosing who represents them.
So have a nation wide primary when the last state usualy votes or caucuses. The politicians can campaign as usual . Personally I think they campaign too fucking much, cut back on that shit and have nation wide televised debate, Their campaigns show nothing of their coalition building skills it shows what politicians owe them favors. It shows who can bullshit the best.

he lost the south because there were large numbers of black voters in those primaries.

I think he lost the south because he barely campaigned there and people seldom vote for unknowns

That's why Larry said he knows something about running in the south. It IS "always about race"
