...Nobody gives a shit about the vote total. The delegates are what matter.

I've been watching you rag on the caucuses all night, and I don't think anything I say will change your mind.
Yeah, but you do need something to do it. Iowa has a few points in it's favor: it's cheap to run in, it's a competitive state, and it's reasonably representative.
Sorry, my bad... typo. "...aren't that important..."
You don't seem to know very much about what you're talking about.
People most certainly will give a shit. The reason noone cared about them previously is that they weren't reported.
Those volunteers feeling some odd combination of immense pressure and also relief at it being basically impossible for them to run it any worse than Iowa.
How is it appropriate for a moderator to amplify unproven conspiracy theories?
Nah go educate yourself and then come back here. Warren is the second most progressive senator (after Bernie) and she has great experience as a law professor and has done almost as much as Bernie in her short government career.
go bow down to your cult leader elsewhere
This shit always confuses me. Warren and the rest of them (yes even Biden and Butti) are so much closer to Bernie than Trump...but, like last election, rather than rally around another viable candidate should Bernie lose, someone that gets them closer to what they want, they choose to throw a fit and give away elections to the complete anti-thesis to Bernie. Completely and utterly baffling.
I do, but I kinda feel like this is even more of a stretch than that.
You're correct, unless reality shifts and there's suddenly an explanation that makes caucuses a modern, inclusive democratic practice. It's worthy of scorn.
How is it appropriate for a candidate to pay for an app that'll decide which candidate becomes the nominee?
Yeah a while back. Think he tweeted that he was going to bed as his last dig. Don't feel like going into his twitter to find the exact tweets.
We've got nine more months of this to go!
I don't understand how we're not all at least on board with "vote Trump out"? Like we should be able to agree that that is something worth pursuing by itself?
Bernie's got my vote, but come on dude. I can't see my relatives who live in the Middle East because of Trump. The Planet is dying. Kids are being kept in cages. Rapists have doubled in number on the Supreme Court.
There are some trash centrist candidates here, but at least they wouldn't operate concentration camps. Isn't that worth your vote?
Pete's campaign paid money to the company behind the app. That's not a conspiracy, the documents are out there.
Contracts for stuff like this should be vetted so that stuff like that doesn't happen.
It's an overwhelmingly white, rural state that is not at all representative of the country as a whole.
It's time to move on to a a more representative state with a more democratic process. Iowa was already on thin ice, this fuck-up was just the nail in the coffin.
I know, truth and facts don't matter anymore, but the campaign paid the company to develop a separate text banking app.
It won't though. And we don't even know if the tweet is credible.
It doesn't have to be a caucus...could have a primary...or if you like the 2nd choice decisions of caucuses, then do a ranked choice primary....Caucuses are outdated and suppress the voice of people who because of life/jobs can't go to them, etc...
The vote total extremely matters. Obama crushed that in 2008 but it was a 3 way delegate tie.
I'm going in to this election the same way I did in 2016, I would like for Bernie to be the nominee. That being said if he isn't I'll vote for whoever the candidate is to get Trump the fuck out of the white house.
It's interesting data, but it's also not actually meaningful to who "Wins" Iowa.
His campaign giving money to the company, which has multiple Democrats involved with it, while perhaps unusual looking, does not in and of itself indicate that somehow the results or lack of results were a conspiracy
This is going to age well, like a handful of your other posts. Saved for posterity.
For a hundred grand I'd expect to be called as the winner, not all this shit.
