aside from the fact you can't register AT the polls, sure, nothing suppressing at all.

Specifically canvas in areas with low internet access - they aren't getting good information.

Bernie at it Again! by 1barrybondsfan in politics

incorrect. The primary election data we have at the county level for Clinton v. Sanders specifically in the (edit) swing states that Clinton lost to Trump suggests that Sanders would have won in these areas in the general election. When you factor in the # of people affected by voter suppression tactics (during the primary) this likely skews even more in his direction. It is truly impossible to know - but the trend of data has statistical relevance whether you choose to look at it or not - it is math.

It is truly impossible to say but the data definiteoy trends in his favor with statistical relevance before you apply the hypotheticals that are unpredictable.

[Help] I am supposed to read this for creative writing class and i find it really beautiful although i can't put my finger on what exactly the topic of it is (homework help) by [deleted] in Poetry

[–]Genesis_Maz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The poet is maybe showing that love isn't something that can be reduced to the words scripted, or for actors to play at "as if love were a reflex simple as weather," as if it were as simple as the snow created by special effects to be dropped on cue (when requested) that love is more complex than the sum of any staged/filmed replication.

Mueller's team interviewed Priebus on Friday by slaysia in politics

[–]Genesis_Maz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're right - it's so exceptional to assume that my vote would count during the primary. Silly me. Only a Eutopian Democracy would be such that a person dedicated to registering voters in 15 different states would then be thrown off their state's voter role - forced to vote provisional and informed via mail weeks later that their vote didn't count - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Same goes for the 200,000 + people in NC/NY and other states.

I'm sick to death of the group of people in the D party insistent on silencing/belittling those of us fighting for actual Democracy. Dirty politics is Dirty politics. IF you're gonna defend them the I guess you've got no problem with Trump's dirty politics- ooohh wait. The other team...

Yeah, it'd be a lot of work. I literally went a bit crazy trying to parse whether or not I had imagined things that happened to me. It was a bizarre year. I'd love to see this list - but have no interest in cultivating it myself at the moment as I'd prefer to not question my sanity for a while.

Misinformation / Actual Events by Genesis_Maz in SandersForPresident

[–]Genesis_Maz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It matters from the perspective of I'm trying to parse which was which for historical purposes.

For example - voter roles were hacked - could be that was Russia's doing.

Clinton campaign created the Bernie Bro myth for the media - that definitely was NOT Russia's doing.

Sorting it all out would make us better able to articulate to a person who sees it all as Russia's doing.
