Democratic Presidential Primary |February OT| It Can't be Worse than Iowa, Right? (Discussion Guidelines in OP)

Or people who act like Election results have never been released in batches before
I can't believe people can see the obvious display of incompetence laid bare before them and still try to think of ways that it's all somehow calculated and orchestrated by a singular entity for....reasons. Conspiracy theories are for simpletons, ya'll. People are under prepared or otherwise incompetent, that's all.
I want to meet all 46 people who went to an gymnasium in Iowa to stand in a corner for Deval Patrick.
EDIT: Also, LMAO at the sole Bennet holdout.
User banned (1 week): Ignoring staff post with regard to conspiracy theories
they are trying to undermine the whole process to deflate bernies Momentum from winning the first 2 or 3 states. Undermine it enough and maybe they can deflate youth turnout overall. Or start laying down the storyline for why they need to take the convention to a second ballot and fuck Bernie there.
used to be the governor of massachusetts
basically budget cory booker
I still don´t believe in the conspiracy, but the level of incompetence is something else. You don't have a clear case for conspiracy, but there's a bunch of fishy stuff going on.
Where does your narrative account for the fact that they hugely undermined the entire process with their incompetence? "I know how we'll defeat Bernie...by humiliating ourselves!"
So they are intentionally making themselves look like the dumbest, most incompetent and corrupt organization in the world so they can minimize the 2% bump Sanders would've gotten in the polls from his 2nd place finish. Got it.
I don't think so, but the entire has been messed up. For all we know they are.
Oh. Sorry.
For real, I never heard of him, and I could name even a few nobodies with zero chance like Eric Salwell and John Hickenlooper and John Delaney. All of those already withdrew afaik too. What's he still doing there? Was he ever at any of the debates?
Here I thought the launch of our new POS system was gonna be the technical nightmare this month. At this rate it'll be a cake walk compared to hearing about this shitshow.
After this debacle, the IDP needs to give a detailed explanation of why the hell it took to so long to get the results, and why errors were happening. If their explanation isn't satisfactory, heads need to roll at the IDP.
You are restating my post
they would rather self immolate than surrender their power to a genuine leftist
That is oversimplification of what Democracy is. Straight from wiki Democracy literally means "rule by people." It is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation. Caucuses are essentially disenfranchising, and therefore limit the authority of 'the people' to choose their governing legislation.
Bernie isn't that hot, I really don't think everyone is lining up to fuck him but idk
presumably he's either promoting an upcoming book or angling for a job as a news network commentator
If that's a genuine thought, please take a minute to consider how utterly silly that is. How does that make literally any sense?
The only reason I know his name is because they talked about him, like, twice on the Majority Report. Basically in the context of "why the hell is this guy running?"
Black Hawk County was fixed shortly after this went up. It was a very clear copyists error, you could see just scanning through the rows where the candidates' results were shifted by three columns in a chunk of rows, then shifted back.
Patrick literally jumped in like two months ago. Same time as Bloomberg, just without the money or the strategy.
Why? I don't think even he knows.
Yes. The actual goal of Iowa, the first win to start momentum, has been halted by the slow process to get these numbers so now we fall back to actual delegates which...yeah it's probably going to be a tie.
It's a tie, but also Pete kinda won, but also Bernie kinda won.
American democracy.
real talk: i like to have my fun and all but i wish some of y'all would have a little more conviction in/respect for bernie sanders. you don't get to argue that he's the most popular candidate, and that he can bring in normally apathetic voters, how he's the only one who can beat trump, and how he gets voters fired up and energized, then turn around and act like the only way he can win the primaries is if the stars align in a very specific way thanks to some vague notion of momentum, and get down on his chances because he's statistically tied with one dude in the first contest.
Technically a Pete win due to the way the caucus works. Sort of like the electoral college the popular vote is not the determining factor.
Yeah, but despite Bernie getting the same number of delegates and winning more votes Buttigieg is still being proclaimed winner for some reason.
