Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

Jilani is reacting to an actual video of an actual caucus with an actual Steyer supporter trying to sell her fellow caucus goers on reparations.
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 6:10pm
I admit that I forgot Steyer was running, I stand corrected. Steyer wasn't on stage at the Nevada debate.
The polling I've seen doesn't place Steyer in the top 2 in any upcoming primary. Jilani suggests that reparations are major proposals by Democratic candidates in general. If he means one candidate is running on reparations he should say that. Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar, and Bloomberg are not running on reparations. They address education, health care, jobs, immigration, voter suppression, and racism. Again Jilani is full of crap.

Non-whites much stronger for Bernie, and Biden after that. Whites so far coming out with Biden at the bottom. Whites like Buttigieg much more than people of color:
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 5:56pm
p.s. and Klobuchar doesn't even register with non-whites, while #3 with whites?
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 5:57pm
WOW Klobuchar not registering white ethnic minorities. Steyer did not get a return on his investment.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 5:58pm
Steyer did not get a return on his investment
Huh? He's running third with non-whites but doesn't register on whites. It's the reverse of Klobuchar, she's third with whites and doesn't register with non-whites.
p.s. comes to mind that Steyer does talk reparations, straight out talking about it.
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 6:03pm
Steyer is not a major player in this.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 10:00pm
I would just add this big cavaet: these are registered Democrats he's talking about. All of this primary stuff is about what registered Democrats think so far. This is NOT Independents and swings! I'm not saying I know what they think on Medicare-for-all nor on Bernie, etc. But media framing of this as "what the people are thinking" is a dangerous thing to do.
When we get to open primary states we're going to have even more confusion on this. I.E. there will be stuff like actual enemies of the left crossing over and voting for Bernie on purpose, because they think he will ensure a Dem presidential loss (whether that's true or not, it's going to confuse the issue.)

by rmrd0000 on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 10:18pm
I take that as another data point that your blackplainin' here is a waste of time; you're the only one here who has argued like reparations are a highly important issue for "the black community" when you decide to speak for them all to the rest of us supposedly clueless on Dagblog.
Anyhew, to everyone else; an important point I just heard or saw someone mention: there are a lot of Native Americans in rural Nevada, and these votes will take longer to come in, and many expect them to boost Bernie's numbers.
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 10:16pm
Yawn
Nice attempt at diversion. Jilani said candidates (plural) were focused on reparations, that is not true. The discussion is about Jilani's post.
My opinion differs from yours. Because I don't agree with you, you divert by saying that I am speaking for all blacks. I could argue that you feel that you can dictate what blacks can and can't protest be it statues, hair, entertainment awards, etc.
Regarding the vote:
If Sanders is the candidate, I will vote for him. If Bloomberg is the winner, I will vote for him.
by rmrd0000 on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 10:32pm
No intent to divert. To me, you are misreading the nuance of the conversation Jilani was involved in. You jump to misinterpret in order to argue with your favorite strawmen topics, instead of keeping an open mind to people saying complex things, you need to fit them in your simplistic strawmen categories. I don't agree that he was saying anything like what you are implying. It is a waste to go further, we read differently.
by artappraiser on Sat, 02/22/2020 - 11:09pm
Warren lays out her proposals. Buttigieg has his Douglass plan. Other Democratic candidates offer the same thing, Democratic candidates are proposing what Jilani says black voters actually want. My reading skills are fine.

Pundits make too much about caucuses. They measure enthusiasm more than anything else. As all of us who followed the primary in 2016 and as PP recently pointed out, in some caucus states that also have a primary vote Sanders won the caucus and lost the vote. I'm not saying he's not doing well or that he can't win. Just that we won't know until some of the larger diverse states have a simple vote.

What horseshit.
A total of 118,000 Dems caucused in Nevada in 2008, only 84,000 in 2016.
This year 70k-75k "voted early", though somehow in places that included up to 3 hour waits so people - doesn't that defeat the purpose of voting early? And how is voting early participating in a caucus where you have the pressure and excitement to maybe shift your vote based on reason and fanbois? Or is it a hybrid primary w/o the benefits? [narrator: yes, it's a hybrid primary/caucus, even though the "primary" uses cacus fallback choice rules]
So about 55,000 are listed as having shown up for the caucus at this time. Meaning a total of perhaps 120k-130k voters choose the candidates in a state of over 3 million people.
Takeaway? Fuck this. Super Tuesday will bring a wave of actual primaries, and we'll get to see who actually has serious support for November, even though it's all cockeyed and confused by now, and largely driven by media's inability to keep more than 2 names straight.
So we're mostly down to Bernie, Biden, Pete & Liz. How will that look for South Carolina, where the Black vote comes in along with being a primary plus in the South, the more traditional and first much larger batch of voters - 370,000 Dems voted in 2016. Who can rise about the noise for the last contest before Super Tuesday? Will Amy survive even? Does Warren have any kind of traction or is it all Pete in largely tying with Bernie in a caucus state? Is Biden still seen as viable or as a wounded bird? Where does the Bloomberg rich safe semi-conservative vote go, if not to Biden?
