STAC Goat posted:I genuinely don't understand anything about the democratic caucus. Not these 90 "missing" precincts or how it makes sense that they represent 5% if 98% have reported. Not super delegates. Not whatever the hell "state represented delegates" are or whatever msnbc has been trying to explain all night about the numbers they were showing. Like, the DNC have me feeling like the biggest idiot in the world because I can't make heads or tails of how this poo poo works. Realizing that you don't understand, and embracing that fact, is the first step in truly appreciating it. It's political dadaism.

Such as it is in a 2 party system it's hard to cause fractures when many have a vested interest in that not happening. Honestly though for all the poo poo talk the DNC is getting it's poo poo together now.

Northjayhawk posted:It makes more sense now why its taking forever for some precincts. If Microsoft has results for 1664 of 1683 precincts - does that mean there's more than 1683 precincts? I'm not getting where the 90 missing precincts are

This is a much better process than letting states run it which all state parties should adopt. Having to argue over your vote is totally cool. Unless that results in my candidate losing, in which case it's undemocratic as all gently caress.

Having a massive line up with very little actual qualifications for the candidates is bad. Like even if it means you only have a 2 man race better 2 qualified candidates squaring off than a clown show. Hell even MOM is more qualified than anyone of the GOP side.

If Iowa is going to continue using a caucus, the Democrats have to start using the method that the GOP does. Republicans: Winner emerged fairly quickly with minimal fuss. Democrats: "We lost three people", "stop the count, somebody is using the bathroom", "I dispute the count total," coin flips, delegates becoming delegates becoming delegates, network analysts who have been doing homework on this for month stumped at the procedures.

Rachel seems confused that the state party can't reach the precinct chairs, but electing a precinct chair is part of the caucus, so that's entirely believable. Again, I should mention that caucuses own

Is there really just one county left that's tied 50-50 according to CNN? I hope in the end this comes down to a single precinct and they livestream the final coin flip

In and out in 20-30 minutes, boom, done. When the Dems don't have a contest, I register as a republican for a day and its easy. The way the Dems do it in Iowa is a pain in the rear end, and takes forever.
