Democratic Freak States Holy Saturday results thread (1st caucuses begin @1pmET)

If Sanders wins CA by the margin he's winning WA, then he'll have a chance.

The demographics of CA are very different, though. He'll dominate the Bay Area, however

Exactly. I was implying that there was no way it would happen. He might win CA, but it would be a narrow win, which isn't what he needs.

Seattle is possibly the most liberal major city in the country, with SF and Portland being its two closest rivals.  We elected a legitimately evil "Trotskyite Socialist" Kshama Sawant to our city council, the far-far-far-far-left newspaper everyone reads, The Stranger, is run almost exclusively by gay communists,  and we have a giant statue of Lenin.  My precinct had a bunch of hippies with dreadlocks and those organic-store purses that are made to look like they were sewn together from patches, and there were a couple millenials in brown jackets standing together with hammer and sickle pins and red star hats.

So much lol in this.

Someone on twitter is claiming the 98% Sanders thing is a lie.

https://twitter.com/withmeyourheart/status/713826069296451584

1484 is the number of the precinct, they say. The actual result is 28-11. If people would stop lying and posting bad information, we would maybe be able to have reasonable analysis.

[Dr. Arch]

Washington being pretty slow.

[Alcon]

I also love all the people on here who are like "Beet! Quit being unreasonable! Your candidate only has 2% of the vote in 1/17th of a major urban center! Stop freaking out!"

As I said, that is (obviously) not the correct number.  West Seattle is more suburban, wealthy, and old than the rest of Seattle.  There is no damn way that Sanders got 98%.  You are being ridiculous.

edit: told you!

I thought NC taught you not to take random stuff Bernie people on Twitter/Reddit say as gospel.

I hope all the Sanders people will cool down after he drops out, it really is getting tiresome just being pelted with stones every time I post about him.  Nobody ever directly responds to what I write, either.

Another observation, lots of old people came to vote, but most of them didn't stick around.  The rooms were packet and suffocatingly hot and loud with chatter and everyone had to stand, I talked to some poor woman who said she had to leave even though she wanted to be a county delegate because she thought she was going to faint.  Doesn't mean much since they had already voted, though.  But by the time the actual caucusing began it was just about all Sanders people left.

If he continues to get 75%-85% of the vote in Alaska, he'll win the delegates 13-3.

[Xing]

28-11 is still a decisive win for Sanders. If he's winning King like that, he'll easily stay above 70% statewide.

Yeah no way 1484 people live in a single precinct.
Unless... how do they deal with supertall apartment buildings?  If 3000 people live in one block of skyscrapers, do they all vote in one precinct?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Bernie would probably win AK against Trump in the general.

No. AK wants to drill, baby drill. Bernie being against anything that might harm the environment will not play there.

California's Democratic electorate will be more than 50% non-white. Good luck winning with that.

[Fusionmunster]

They don't have the population, but they sure as hell have the delegates. Sanders just made up over 500,000 vote deficit from Florida today.

Im just gonna put you on ignore. Oh wait, I can't because your a moderator. Torie with his conspiracy theories, Tender Branson with his racism, you with your hysterics. I'm just gonna come back here when Hillary is sworn in, alright?

Seriously, Likely Voter is the only level headed one still here right now.

 Looks like NYT called Alaska.

Because your #analysis is just like heatmaster's #analysis of Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, everyone with the same physical address currently has to be in one precinct, and precincts are maxed out to something like 1,200 registered voters.  I'm not sure how we'll handle that if they ever build something like this.

[Xing]

Looks like it'll be a 13-3 delegate split in AK.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

AP calls Alaska for Sanders. 79-21 with 38% in.

Getting cautionably optimistic about HI seeing these AK/WA results.

Chelan County 2008: 73% Obama
Chelan County 2016: 72% Sanders

I'm in Chelan County as we speak, actually! Not caucusing today. (I'm not a registered Dem, for starters)

Neither am I, but I still caucused. It's an open caucus.
