Bernie/The Bernie Candidate will have a big advantage in 2020 since a big struggle for him this year was gaining name recognition in the early primary.

Also the fact that he was running against essentially an incumbent. Bernie probably woulda got the nom if he'd been in a field as wide and open as the Republicans'.

The Arizona primary was a clusterfuck, but it had nothing to do with Democrats.

The county recorder lost her election and now we've got a Democrat in that seat.

As artillery rains on the NYState democratic primary bunker, a necessary consequence of the Great Purge of 2019 authorized by Trump, showering the remaining 12 living democrats of New York in dust one of them speaks up: "Actually, a centrist candidate would be more electable. For every slave-class democrat we lose we'll gain two Megacity republicans. We need to show the people that our candidate has the right temperament, and will respect the office of the presidency."

when i pull on the black hood and stand on the scaffold with the lever in my hand, it will not be bloodlust, but justice that motivates me.

the hood cracks and snaps around me in the cold morning wind, but i am numb to it. the sterile winds steals the stink of fear-sweat from my nostrils and whips it into the crowd.

i do this not because i hate the bankers. i will pray with them and beseech almighty god to forgive their sins. but once those sins have been expunged and their souls are bright and clear, the rot of their crimes remains and must be punished.

i pull the lever. the crowd exhales in a sustained gasp. i do not look. they are already leading the next man up the scaffold. le coiffeur's hunger is not sated.

I'd strike Stein off the list; I don't think most of Stein's voters would have gone to Hillary regardless and I don't think there were enough of those who would have to matter even given the narrow margins we're talking about.

Millennials too, except as a subset of the much larger enthusiasm gap; more young folks voted for Hillary than any other age group.

Mys-, Mis-, Sexism in the election is probably impossible to quantify, almost certainly had a non-zero effect (especially if you extend it to one of the big reasons she had a 30-year hate campaign directed at her in the first place) but I doubt a dude who ran Hillary's exact campaign would have won either.

Also absent from the list (aside from Hillary's Terrible No-Good Very Bad Campaign, which belongs at the top, in twenty-foot high letters that are on fire):

Voter Suppression. If "don't ignore flyover country, and maybe don't call it flyover country any more, stupids" is the first lesson we need to learn, "fight tooth and nail to eliminate voter suppression tools, legal and otherwise" needs to be the second. I mean, it's probably too late now, and good luck voting anywhere in 2018 if you're a minority, but still. (E. Actually, "Economic justice and social justice are the same goddamn thing" is the first lesson. Shift the other two down one.)

Trump Actually Being Good At Campaigning And Almost Universally Underestimated, though I'm probably the only person in this thread who believes that.

In Arizona, I'm not sure if there's a difference.

We got a new law against ballot harvesting law year, just in time for the election.

Arizona uses a lot of mail in ballots, but people tend to procrastinate and wait until it's too late to mail them in. The Democratic party calls people who haven't mailed in their ballots and do a late delivery, sort of like an unofficial post office.

A bunch of politicians started writing articles about how people hypothetically could be buying ballots from people, or dumpster diving for unfilled ballots, or even using a microwave to unseal sealed envelopes to make sure people voted correctly (This doesn't work, by the way).

So then people read the articles and wrote to their representatives that they should do something about it.

Long story short, it's now a Felony to be in possession of a ballot that doesn't belong to an immediate family member.

Not a huge deal if you've got a mailbox in your front yard, but in poorer neighborhoods, people have incoming mail only.

I ended up talking to the sponsor of the bill and explaining my concerns. She didn't seem very sympathetic and I swear to god, she said "I don't believe that people in apartments have difficulty sending mail, how do they send in their mortgage checks every month if they don't have outgoing mail?"

I didn't really have a chance to explain online payment, or that it's legal to ask a neighbour to drop off a letter, or that people in apartments don't have mortgages.

I seriously don't know if it is malicious or just completely out of touch people who have never set foot in an apartment complex.
