I don't really care who anyone votes for in the Democratic Primaries.


I'm not going to try to convince anyone to vote for anyone. Despite what some people seem to think, I'm not posting reasons to vote for any candidate. I'm supporting Hillary Clinton, and will be voting for her, but I'm not going to make any argument to convince anyone else. DUers should vote for whomever they prefer. So will Democrats all over the country. That's how this whole thing works.

Then, next year, following the primaries and the Democratic Presidential Nominating Convention, the nominee will be known. That's the only thing that matters, really. Once that happens, I'll be voting for the person who becomes the nominee.

In every state, there will be a primary or caucus. The results of those will determine who the delegates are to the convention. Each state selects its own delegates, and those, along with delegates who are automatically chosen (super delegates) will go do their thing and choose a nominee.

Each state has a set number of delegates, based primarily on the population of the state. States like New Hampshire and Iowa have relatively few delegates. They are considered important only because they have their primary or caucus very early in the primary race. At the convention, their delegates are among the smaller delegations. Same thing with Nevada.

In November, we'll all have three choices: 1. Vote for the Democrat. 2. Vote for the Republian. 3. Don't Vote, or vote for some third party candidate who is sure to lose. I'll be voting for the Democrat. It's that simple. I'm a Democrat.

Congrats DUmmie.  :whatever:

A true democrat would not vote solely based on party affiliation.
A true democrat would vote for the person who best represented their ideals, and be proud of that vote.
What mineral man is admitting to is being a blind zealot.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

It's fun to watch the DUmmies continue to overvalue their relevance.  In anything.   :fuelfire:

Apparently MineralMan thinks they're stupid as well, since he saw fit to educate them about the primary/caucus process. :whatever:

Is it patronizing if the Dummies don't realize they're being talked down to?

Ummm. Actually, I count four. This is along the lines of Michael Vick saying, "I have two things going for me. My arm, my legs and my brains".
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

Back in 2008, the drunken Pitt didn't care whether the jug-eared muslim or the Hildebeast won the nomination, because George W. Bush gave his girlfriend multiple sclerosis.

Thank goodness, after two terms of the Kenyan, incurable diseases are just a bad memory.
