Las Vegas — Bernie Sanders has won the Nevada caucus, People’s Pundit Daily (PPD) can project with 3% of precincts reporting. The socialist senator from Vermont has now won at least two of the first three contests — likely all three — sealing his status as front-runner for the 2020 Democratic nomination.
He currently leads Joe Biden in county convention delegates (C.C.D.s) and also in the first and final alignment votes.

It’s interesting to see how the narrative is shifting – “socialist” used to be a death knell, but now it seems less impactful, especially with younger voters. On a related note, if anyone needs to extract audio from a video file for campaign soundbites or anything similar, there are some handy online tools available. I’ve found them useful for quick media editing.

It’s interesting how quickly the narrative shifted after Nevada. Remember all the talk about Biden’s “firewall” with minority voters? Speaking of trying to understand what people are *really* thinking, I’ve been playing this online party game with friends where you have to guess where someone’s hidden target is on a spectrum. It’s all about reading minds and shared understanding. You can play Wavelength online for free, no sign-up needed.
