It's not as stupid as it looks, the top guy has to win with >50% or it goes to a runoff.

And people say the Democratic party is incompetent. e: Of course, maybe rather than the DNC forcing any other potential candidates into line, no one actually wanted the job. Platystemon has a new favorite as of 05:01 on Apr 19, 2017 |

So is the strategy having multiple Republican candidates to split the vote, and then in the run-off election hope people will vote for "anyone but a democrat"?

The GOP almost certainly would have preferred for all but one of the Republican candidates to drop out so it's not really their first choice of strategy but it's what they have to work with.

It's a weird election format but unless there is a huge majority (50% above the second place) it runs off the top two candidates, so having multiple republicans doesn't really change anything.

It's not 50% above second place, it's just straight 50% + 1. Also technically there are a few other Democrats and even more Republicans in the race but the remaining Democrats are looking to combine for no more than ~1500 votes.

I think more Republican candidates helps the GOP in a race this close. Makes it easier to get a runoff.

Carados posted:Misunderstood, my fault. Having so many candidates wasn't a conscious decision on the GOP's part. It just worked out that none of the GOP candidates ever commanded a huge lead over the others and while Handel was the frontrunner, 2-3 had a shot all the way up to election day and the party can't force them to drop out and they'd all rather cling to their small chance of victory, so they stuck it through.

It's a "tight race" in the sense that if Ossoff gets 50%+1 of the vote right now, then he wins outright. The "goal" was to not have go to into a run-off election.

Regalingualius posted:Now explain why there wasn't a single Democrat who voted in favor of allowing ISPs to sell personal user browsing data to whoever they want. Because it was a safe vote for them since it wouldn't affect the outcome. And since the Dems couldn't affect it one way or the other, there was probably minimal lobbying (re: money) involved for them Instead they get the "we stood up to the Man" which plays well back home and helps for re-election. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Republicans in any way. While the Republicans earn my overall hatred, both parties are morally repugnant in my eyes. For the last 20 years or so my votes have all leaned heavily on the calculus of "who will cause the least amount of damage while in office" Proteus Jones has a new favorite as of 09:45 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Dems are the party that tries to legitimize the system by preventing the worst stuff from happening and relieving the most obvious issues, in the interest of keeping the broader interests of capitalist economy satisfied and insulated from social pressure. GOP is the party that favors instant gratification and unrestrained greed because it is sure that no matter what the ruling class does, it will remain untouchable, and therefore won't need state regulation to protect it against the windfall of its own actions.

If you're gonna cause a political derail, at least do it in a political alignment chart so it fits the thread.
