The Lib Dems don’t want there to be one because it’d likely result in Corbyn being prime minister

The number of individual donors didn’t correlate with voter turnout in 2016, and it’s unlikely to do so this time either.

That poll isn’t listed on RCP - pretty small sample size, and based on the order, looks like it might be an online poll (which will massively undercount older voters). What’s the source?

They love to shriek about them around here because they’re not obnoxious yelling blowhards like Chapo Trap House.

There’s one just like this in the lobby of a building in suburban Brussels - I couldn’t get a shot of it last time I saw it (was driving).

Just like all the tall buildings in Dubai. It’s just a more performative version of buying up paintings and putting them in a warehouse.

They would indeed be cheaper - look at an Eastern Europe-spec Dacia Logan or some of the stuff they sell in India for reference. They’re total deathtraps, but they’re cheap. Somehow doubt they’d sell very well in the US.

*Liberty for automakers to lose money.

I want to see this tech in a 150cc scooter equivalent category - something with the styling of a Vespa and boatloads of torque would be a great urban runabout.

Plaid Cymru has always bit something of a joke, unlike the SNP. Scottish independence is no guarantee even with a no-deal Brexit, and Welsh independence is substantially less likely.

I lived in the Middle East for a while, and plenty of Arabs were ludicrously racist towards South Asians. To the point that they would scream at a South Asian person if they stepped into the elevator with them.

A pretty solid set of commenters around here would have you believe that centrist Democrats are responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened in American history.

No, the LibDems would agree if Corbyn would commit to a 2nd referendum (which if their party position is “No Brexit,” makes perfect sense). Corbyn could easily get them by promising them that. That’s exactly why Swinson has repeatedly said she is happy to negotiate with Corbyn on the idea.

The Lib Dems alone did not have the power to make Corbyn PM - Labour needs every opposition party plus the rebel conservative MPs to form a government, which Jo Swinson rightly said would not realistically happen. The anti-no deal conservatives are the ones who pulled the plug on Corbyn’s unity government idea. From…

So you’ve changed the subject from equivocating closed primaries with straight-up canceling them at least. But you’re willfully misrepresenting what happened, at least in 2012. Four states in 2012 canceled their primary after nobody qualified under the existing rules. That’s not remotely the same thing as a state…

What? A closed primary is absolutely not the same thing as canceling a primary. The GOP is literally talking about not having a primary at all, which you said is what the Dems are doing. I’m not rewriting history, you’re drawing a ludicrous false equivalence.

Source? Pretty confident not a single state canceled their primary in ‘08 or ‘16.

It suggests the need for further research, but the headline suggests it is a definitive study. This is a problem with science reporting.

The DNC is not why Biden is leading, name recognition and association with Obama are. Most primary voters are older and don’t stay very informed, so “nice old man I recognize” is an obvious choice. I hope he loses just as much as the next person here, but you don’t need to conjure up a DNC conspiracy to explain his…

Even if he does, the following administration will almost certainly reverse the rules. It’s the same reason Trump can’t bring coal back - these businesses can see long-term trends, and they don’t want to be caught out several years down the road.
