Another change: Only members of nonviable groups will be allowed to realign. In the past, candidates who had initially hit 15 percent could lose supporters in the realignment. But for this cycle, the initial 15 percent support gets locked in."

Uh, some precincts it is 25~50% for viability. Does this mean those precincts get no delegates to the county if no one is viable on the first round? This sounds like the chaos they desire.

e: nevermind. They can have 40 rounds of non-viable outcomes until every voter supports a viable or goes home

if non-viable voters can congeal behind a single candidate to turn them viable, then it's clear why the DNC made that change:

* they assume Bernie has a hardcore base, gets to 20% or whatever, and then they're all locked in
* everyone else slums it out in the sub-15% basement because there are too many centrists and shitlibs all trying to draw from the same brain-poisoned base, so all of them are unviable, except they all back a single candidate, which then comes out to a higher total than Bernie's
* in the event that one of the non-Bernies does get above 15%, then they become the candidate of choice

of course, this is all going to backfire because none of the non-Bernies are going to be able to decide between themselves who should be the single winner

also because Bernie's just gonna win outright

No, that was definitely all Biden staffers in that article. Because one they don't have enough people to do a real time count and two Biden's chance at a win is in round two so they want to downplay round one.

imo biden staffers = dnc

Most actual Democratic primary voters don't see this as some grand operation to keep Bernie out of the nomination, he's the most common second choice among both Biden and Warren supporters. It's more likely that the second round would maintain or increase his lead if he ended up in front.

if buttchug and klobb are unviable but high in enough places, their combined support goes to biden, who then surpasses bernie

yea, but that would have happened anyway even if this rule wasn't in place. only thing the rule does is prevent the succ from uniting in case there are multiple viable succ candidates, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

anyhow iowa is especially loving dumb because tonight’s caucuses barely have anything to do with the amount of delegates candidates get. this just decides the delegates that go to county caucuses next month who then decide who goes to the state caucus the month after which is where the actual delegates are decided
