Live from the WA caucus

[mominatrix]

So many people...

40 minutes before the doors open.

[mominatrix]

Lots of Bernie tees. Some Hillary stickers.

[mominatrix]

Apparently no electioneering rules. Everybody with forms is covered in Bernie paraphernalia

[andwhat]

How long are you thinking you will have to be there? I really don't get caucusing.

They're saying to plan on 2 hours

[mominatrix]

So. Fucking. Seattle.
Somebody's dog is running around in here.

We're all gathering before breaking into precincts

I would complain that I'm deathly allergic - even if I wasn't. That's not cool - dogs get no vote and if you can't leave your dog for two hours to caucus go home!

An announcement was made. Apparently it was a stray that came in with all the people.

The dog running around isn't cool.
And from a couple of my friends who are caucusing it sounds like tons of the Bernie supporters won't listen to much after being all jazzed up from last night. What's the point if you aren't even willing to listen? You don't have to change your mind but be open to listening at least.
I wish you luck and an enjoyable experience.

[pixy0stix]

First birds, now dogs wanting to get in on the action. LOL!

[mominatrix]

GOD.
We're waiting to start, and the Bros are chanting Bernie... Sanders call and response style.

One guy piped up with "it's all over!" which kind of shut them up

[mominatrix]

I'm beginning to see Hillary supporters as the silent majority.

We shall see.

I saw a dog in the mall food court yesterday. I thought I left that nonsense behind when I left the west coast. But, you know, Jersey.

[mominatrix]

So much facial hair.

We're doing the pledge of allegiance

It's sad, because my neighborhood isn't this white.

We're starting with the pledge.

This is all about civic duty and all that shit.

[mominatrix]

We don't break up into precincts until 1030

Not allowed to leave before 11

[mominatrix]

The district dems are soliciting contributions

[mominatrix]

Greaaaaaaat. Our precinct doesn't have a PCO. So we have to start by getting somebody to lead the damn thing.

How many man buns?

[mominatrix]

[InBetweenDays]

I kind of wish I could have stayed just to observe, but we just dropped off our forms and left. We didn't have any requirement to stay since we weren't changing our mind and had to get the kids to their sports games. In and out in 5 minutes.

[mominatrix]

... And, time to start

[mominatrix]

I'm already pissed off. Too many people, nobody can hear.

[mominatrix]

[One Girl In All The World]

This whole process baffles me.

[mominatrix]

We have to appoint a secretary and tallyer.

[mominatrix]

Time for the first vote...
