I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

    CNBC: "The Dems will nominate a candidate they hate b/c their game is rigged. The GOP will nominate a candidate they hate b/c theirs isn't."

        @slatestarcodex That seems kinda close to saying that black people don't count as real democratic voters. In what sense was the game rigged?

        @AQuirkles Media coverage, superdelegates, debate schedule. Endorsements/donations not "rigging", but still sign of party deciding.

        @MLSESSOMS sorry moe, you're wrong. It's an analysis reflecting party establishments ability or inability to control the outcome.

        @willcain isn’t your party trying to find way to not have Trump be the nominee? Only one party is in turmoil right now.

        @MLSESSOMS that's the whole point. They can't. The analysis is about how Dems have superdelegates to control the outcome. And they are.

        @slatestarcodex funny how "they" refers to the masses for Dems, but the establishment for Republicans.

        1/2 @willcain @slatestarcodex How is for you to answer. Dems nominate candidate they hate? Is demonstrably false. Rigged? No, people vote.

        @willcain @slatestarcodex Your statement was funny and witty, but by virtue of actual votes, not true. Maybe I don't understand your point!

        @slatestarcodex Am I correct in understanding this defines "Republicans" as "Republican establishment" and "Dems" as "rank-and-file"?

        @slatestarcodex (obviously the latter being "white liberal rank-and-file".)
