There are multiple people in the Dem and Bernie threads who came to Iowa and got sent to podunk caucuses to observe and report results.

What I don't get is they do coin tosses for the last delegate but its not when their is a vote tie.

Why not just give the last delegate to whichever campaign had the most votes as the reward for the better turnout?

Back when you had counties where maybe a dozen people would vote and they all knew each other, having a system where you get together, talk over the candodates, and come to some kind of decision together, might've made more sense/increased the electoral power of the few people involved, but these days, with a modern electorate and modern problems, it's kinda bug brained.

Even having an idea of why caucuses are a thing, they're still less democratic than regular voting and so it loving sucks.

WTF? I'm not about decorum or being high minded. But election integrity seems more important than Bernie happening to be on top this time. Isn't something like this why the incestuous inept DNC establishment shouldn't be in charge of the party or at the bare minimum things like this?

Are you suggesting Bernie should play along as long as he's winning or the DNC isn't overtly trying to push him out?

Having any kind of concern at all for long-term or larger consequences of your political tactics is decorous centrism

I think Biden's performance in Iowa really proves my argument that the DelDems are ultimately incompetent, and cannot compete against a legitimate opponent. They ALL came out for Biden and he collapsed.

I'd belive that if it was : in the politics sector, not during an election. But that seems way off in the heat of a primary and the general coming up. That is of course espcially low outside of politics.

In fact if someones working in DC making 60-90k, and they are any good and don't mind selling out their beliefs or soul, send them to me. In fact I need to hire someone in that range and the cost of living here is about 1/10 of DC. hell I was making about that before I left the DC area in 98.

I work in Middle GA btw and make way outside of that range, and started above the low end of that range. In fact an entry level position at the company I work for in Sterling, VA (20 miles west of DC) would pay at the higher end of that range. The FANG companies in Sterling pay even more.

I get people choose to not work at FANG companies or various other places they would rather not, but this is the market rates for people with the skills to develop these things. Shadow deciding to not pay that so the management can grift more is irrelevant. And people working for 'causes' shouldn't be paid less, that's dumb.
