I cannot believe you guys are so quick to drink the Kool-Aid. None of the campaigns are challenging any of this stuff, it's all Twitter screeching. Come on. Most of you were dumb enough to enlist once and figure it out.

Probably because many people realize the importance of nominating a non-lovely candidate, and aren't going to be all "alas, my preferred candidate didn't win on his own merits, but at least the system is working as intended :)"

Is it any surprise that candidates restrain their public statements?

Your country practically begun the 21st century with JEB! Dubya, and the Supreme Court working in conspiracy to steal a general election so there's that.

The 2016 general and 2018 midterms both had broad large scale documented voter suppression and fraud, and most of the ones before that probably had it too.

Even in Australia, with an independent electoral commission, you get cases like this, where the conservatives made fake AEC material telling Chinese voters to vote for their candidate as the "correct" way to vote.

Edit: My point was, to date nobody has gone to jail and no results have been overturned despite the documented fraud. The system don't work.

I don’t think Buttigieg actually flipped votes.

At worst he might have had an idea the app was going to be a shitshow and not said anything because he figured it would be a shitshow that benefitted him and besides, why make enemies with Democratic operatives?

If he really was thinking that far ahead, I can’t explain why he didn’t attempt to keep his hands clean.

Sometimes it’s the stupid Watergate, and sometimes it’s just stupid.

You've got a small group of people with deep personal and professional relationships to a particular candidate's campaign being put in charge of a vehicle that can directly influence the outcome, either directly or indirectly. If this were any sort of regulated industry at all there would be lawyers screaming bloody murder over the potential conflicts of interest. But it's not, so it's allowed.
