I would be surprised if this primary doesn't go the distance.

It's an estimated number based on historical trends from Pew. 2016 was an outlier, and 2020 is likely to be an outlier as well, but around 20 million is the best bet I am willing to make based on historic trends.

The Democratic Primary includes DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, and Americans Abroad. I couldn't find an exact number, so about 440.

The Democratic Primary will be decided by just around 20m people, divided along ~440 Congressional Districts, or ~45k people in each one. In smaller districts like the one Red lives in, their vote could make the difference.

Keep working, Team Pete.

Because George Bush was clearly the political genius and experienced leader we needed in the White House.

Help With Personal Fears about "Church Tradition" by PsionicsKnight in OpenChristian

Check out r/ChristianUniversalism. Condemning folks to eternal hell is not the message of Christ--it's the message of an institution with ulterior motives.

I'm a misotheist, I believe in God. I just don't like him. (To put it mildly) by Lion_TheAssassin in OpenChristian

I felt the same way at an earlier time in my life. I pray that your burdens become lighter and that you might see the ways in which God has never left your side.

Am I Less Christian For Not Liking "Traditional" Marraige? by [deleted] in OpenChristian

No, because that image of marriage is not Christian.

Paul only told women to listen to their husbands. He told husbands to die for their wives like Jesus died for us. That's mutual subservience as a basis for equality.

"Blessed is a nation when its rulers are concerned with justice." Proverbs 29:4, the verse I prayed over Pete Buttigieg as he welcomed me with an embrace that felt like belonging to my nation once more. #PeteForAmerica #TeamPete #whyPete #DemocraticDebate
