I think we should point out when people make choices for the wrong reasons so that others don't repeat the same mistake.

No. What is bad for voters is when voters do not vote for the viable candidate that is closest to what they want. When they don't do that, they are setting themselves up to become a lifetime loser in politics. They will either never get what they want, or if they do get what they want, it will only happen because of other people voting differently than how they vote.

Nope. Superdelegates were created in the 1980's. After 2016 it was changed so that they cannot vote in any first round (making them powerless). Nothing has changed since then. This rule will likely still be in effect for the rest of your life.

It has nothing to do with health. It is literally impossible to use a system like reddit/lemmy over the long term and not get hit with rando-bans that come out of nowhere and are completely unavoidable.

I'm not talking about getting a legit ban where you break the rules of the sub. In that case it is pointless to do "ban evasion" because you will likely repeat the behavior that got you banned. I'm talking about when you get a completely unavoidable and random ban. You WILL get those if you use a system long term.

Now consider that forex traders often leverage at 1:500 margins. You get to buy massive positions with currency pairs, and even the tiniest fluctuations can provide massive profits or instantaneous ruin.

Yikes. I would have never considered that doing this would be anything more than a wild gamble. It is a good thing that you only lost pretend money.

Harris did inform us of her 82 page economic plan. I wouldn't have known about her plan otherwise. You just were not paying attention. That is primarily your fault. Although it is partly the media's fault also.

Because I hate the idea of encouraging people to set themselves up to become lifetime losers. Its bad for them. It's bad for progressives. It's good for conservatives and reactionaries.

This sounds like another one of those "set yourself up to become a lifetime loser" articles.

40 percent of young voters said they will only support candidates who prioritize climate change—it's a "deal breaker."

Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on climate change, if that is an important issue.

If you don't do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.

we have to be honest about the opportunities the Democratic Party has had to secure the right to choose across the country.

Which that there were no such opportunities.

Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on abortion, if that is an important issue.

If you don't do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.

Without jumping through congressional hoops, President Biden could cancel student debt today.

No, he cannot. The reverse in fact is true. Even though Biden got legislation passed allowing for student debt cancellation, cvonservatives still blocked it.

Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the most progressive on student debt cancellation, if that is an important issue.

If you don't do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.

Kamala Harris declared, "As commander-in-chief, I will ensure America always has the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world,"

That's not what Fascism means at all. Fascism means you eliminate the ability of citizens to chose their own leaders.

Why would anybody NOT vote for the person who is the not a super Fascist?

If you don't do that you are setting yourself up to become a lifetime loser.

It's not.. I was aware of her 82 page economic plan. How come you weren't aware of it? It's your fault that you weren't aware of her economic plan while people like me were aware of it. If I did you then you could have done it.

I’m afraid thats not entirely true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate

It is entirely true. No superdelegate can vote in the initial primary vote.

They are a private entity and can run primaries however they want.

Subject to the DNC charter. They are bound by the DNC charter in the same way that the government is bound by the Constitution.

they successfully argued that they can elect canddates in a smoke filled back room if they so chose

They argued they could change the DNC charter, which it technically true. The USA how the power to change its Constituion, but it is still bound by it.

Okay but there must have been some actual reason that you didn't state. The actual reason could not have been the reason you stated, that "she seemed fake". Because nobody could be stupid enough to have that as their actual reason.

I don’t understand what attacking the user for sharing their feelings gets you. It’s the vibe that enough voters shared

Because voting or not voting based on a "vibe" is the single stupidest reason anybody can have in making a voting choice. It is based on the idiotic idea that you are doing the candidate some sort of favor, rather than doing yourself a favor, by voting for a good candidate.
