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

The app is somewhat irrelevant, there are paper ballots.
What's more pertinent is whether the second and subsequent alignments were performed correctly.

Nope
I just don't see the moderate (Pete/Biden/Klob)or progressive (Bernie/Warren) wings respectively consolidating themselves before then.
plus we still have Bloomberg and his wild card status.
Everyone is just close enough to not drop out.
Yangs fucking done dudes a clown
Steyer is a nice guy.
tulsi isn't gonna get a great Fox News gig.
the state party says they'll have results sometime tuesday (today)
Wish tonight was a actual primary. Watching night has been disappointing.
User Banned (3 days): ignoring the modpost, posting tweets with no commentary
I really don't believe this to be true, unless Bernie folk really will not support whoever ends up being the candidate (if he doesn't win)..
Really though...the party needs just get their shiz together and ultimately get the f out, vote and support WHOEVER the candidate is and calm it with all the damn purity tests...
I know too many Bernie folk from last election who stayed home (in battleground states) because they thought Trump and Clinton were equally bad and were pissed their guy didn't win the nomination.
It doesn't matter who the D candidate is. If people don't rally behind them. Trump wins. And we all lose.
Don't post conspiracies from a rando twitter account.
Pete didn't get a poll cancelled lol
"Then with 111 votes for Bernie and 47 for Buttigieg, they both receive 2 delegates at a caucus."
The 111 vs 47 result was from the first alignment. The delegates are chosen based on the numbers after the second alignment.
Before posting conspiracy theories about the Iowa Caucus, it would help to understand how the Iowa Caucus actually works.
Gonna need receipts before I believe a Sanders activist that Pete bought the Iowa Caucus for $100k
Where did this narrative that Pete cancelled the DMR poll come from? Their campaign reported an issue that was not unique to Pete, and the pollster, upon review, rightfully yanked the polls because the results were likely tainted by the accident.
You'd still be wrong
That you think this is relevant proves that was the right moderating decision.
People being incompetent is a far more likely explanation than malfeasance.
I mean if it's a banker v a fascist I won't stay home but I know tons of people who will
Points 1 and 2 are inaccurate - Pete did not stop a poll from being published (the argument that they stopped the poll from being published because it showed Bernie winning is asinine because the same pollster released a poll with Bernie winning a week earlier), and the "Bernie and Pete both got 2 delegates even though Bernie got twice the votes" thing only takes into account the first round of voting before realignment. The delegate allocation follows the official caucus formula, which is actually very dumb, but not actually a conspiracy to boost Pete.
My point. ugh.
It's not about just Biden. It's about the future of the Supreme Court...judges...so many things. RBG is not going to live forever...
If you vote R or choose not to vote...the Supreme Court is fucked for the remainder of our lives. Period.
If people can't ultimately realize that letting Trump pick one more (at least) Supreme Court justices and whatever ever else disastrous mess he has planned for a second term...I just don't know what to say...
Biden is a mess. But he sure as hell will not replace RBG with some Kavanaugh fuckface. And his moderate policies are wayyyyyyyyy more to the left than ANYTHING a second Trump term would give you.

Of course the company had to be called Shadow because Software Inc. wouldn't have made this clusterfuck as sexy.
Personally not willing to ascribe any suspicion to this yet. Coincidences happen.
conspiracy theories. i swear to god this shit is going to cause us to lose the election if bernie doesn't win the nomination. this is all incredibly toxic and helps absolutely nothing. fuck, it might even help us lose even if he does pull it off.
twitter's a great way to find out which of your favorite content creators are absolutely fucking bonkers when it comes to conspiracy theories
Aren't you glad we have months of this before moving on to the even bigger shitshow of the general?
Dog ate homework and no Dems have to make something that resembles homework results.
You know...I'm suddenly tempted to post that fandub Eggman video now...probably too NSFW for even this site though.
It's -not- a good look. My bf thinks it was the DNC manipulating the narrative to prevent Bernie from getting free press ...and he wants Biden to win lol
Well just going by what that data poll went with. Probably an emotional thing for a lot of them.
