General Discussion

Particularly the strengths of one's preferred candidate, rather than only focusing on bashing the candidate who seems very likely to be the nominee.

n.b. If I lived in Maine, which has RCV, I would rank Platner last .... but at this late stage of the primary cycle I am sick to death of the bashing of the guy. Maine Dems who don't like him don't have to rank him first. If enough of them convince enough of their local friends and relatives ... who knows, maybe he WON'T be the nominee! But outside of most DUers (who I don't fully understand on this point), and others known to me as dedicated Democrats ... I do suspect foul play when someone claims to be a Dem but seems to be focused on undermining a Democratic candidate, without any substantive discussion of the Democratic alternatives. I do believe that is why some are frustrated that the rules are not stricter in this area. Not that I have any place to suggest otherwise - just that I understand it.
