Legit just created an entire Twitter account to tell the world @BernieSanders isn’t even on the first page of the ballot. You have to look for an icon located at the far bottom of the page then scroll to find his name #BernieBallot pic.twitter.com/kEeTCcDwKg— J. (@waterdiaries) March 3, 2020

also read somewhere (on ~intnert~) that that "sanders on the second page" thing is a product of randomization, hence these nobodies ending up higher on the list than not just sanders

Breaking news: young people still don't vote. In NBC News exit poll, 13 percent of voters were between 18-29— Shannon Pettypiece (@spettypi) March 3, 2020

But, don't they want to stick it to The Man?
― A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:13 (four years ago) link
what would that % be if everyone eligible voted?
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:14 (four years ago) link
18 - 34 demographic is ~21% of population (US Census, 2010), so best guess for 18 - 29 is ca. 16%. If 13% of the overall election turnout of a is under 29, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle because it means young people are turning out in droves.
― rb (soda), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:24 (four years ago) link
yeah thats my point - though this is a dem primary not the general so there should be a bit of a skew younger than the general population
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:26 (four years ago) link
iirc exit polls generally trend older?
― ℺ ☽ ⋠ ⏎ (✖), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:28 (four years ago) link
well maybe that number ain't as bad as I thought but still, I think a lot about that article that argues that Bernie will need to up youth turnout by 30% to beat Trump in the general, and if they don't turn out on Super Tuesday...
― frogbs, Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:30 (four years ago) link
Also young people vote later (or vote before Election Day).

Minority turnout matters way more than youth and Latinx voters will outnumber black voters in 2020 IIRC - which if you want some upside is that we're down to the two contenders who actually have some appeal to POC.

The inability of Sanders to move minority voting beyond a few points at most worries me a great deal. Most students at my university who identify as liberal t18-30 are Sanders fans and have said so, but I wonder if the aggregate around the country is enough. It infuriates me because the non-Sanders people I know looooove to make fun of how shallow his support is.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:44 (four years ago) link
A few points matters - the drop in support in 2016 vs 2012 was like 7% for black voters and less than that for Latinx voters.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Tuesday, 3 March 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link
FWIW, 50% of the Latinx vote in Nevada went to Sanders. Only one data point, but tomorrow we'll know if there's a trend.

Also FWIW, for the past six weeks we've been canvassing/phoning folks here in the forgotten parts of the San Gabriel & Pomona Valleys here in LA (Monrovia, Duarte, El Monte, Pomona, etc.) - large mix of middle/working-class Asians and Latinx and everyone we talked to was a Sanders supporter. Quite a few times we were told that we were the only campaign that had reached out to them.

There are lots of reasons why Sanders is behind now but, "people were too mean to a subset of college-educated progressives, the protagonists of the Democratic primary, on this website" isn't one of them and the narcissism of this entire genre of commentary remains stunning.— Osita Nwanevu (@OsitaNwanevu) March 4, 2020

on the plus side: if Warren's Bloomberg stomping really did have an effect, it's proof that debates matter, and Bernie will have a chance to demolish Biden if he's willing to finally get mean. no more old nice guy shit.
