We once tried to kill Castro with a seashell that would explode when he picked it up. Lots of conspiracies are really incompetent.

incompetence by design is the conspiracy usually. its why no one may be blamed when votes are lost, or people lose their benefits due to a computer error. that is the intent, but also Azathoth should cry more

this thread sure does love to wildly swing between the DNC being the most competent ratfuckers since Nixon's machine and beingtoo incompetent to even pick a candidate to rally behind

You're creating a dichotomy between competent and incompetent, but in reality it's that they're incompetent but incredibly entrenched. They don't have to be competent to rig poo poo, be wise they control everything and can just ignore when people call them out.

It's really dumb whenever people try to insist any thread has one thought or voice. It's just a group of people saying poo poo. There are going to be different opinions and beliefs and contradicting opinions is people disagreeing with each other, not some example that everyone in the thread should just be dismissed.

that's fair about the false dichotomy, but ... does any of this look like anyone is getting away with anything?

Lmao must really be heartbreaking right now for all the IDP faithful who weren't a part of the grift, and are having to watch their precious precious, millions and millions worth 'first in the nation' status go up in smoke around them.

No one important will ever give a poo poo about iowa, choke down their gross pork chops, and spend a saturday at the local VFW ever again, and they know it.

they didn't

most other state primaries are run by the same kind of people but don't have the same level of transparency and are far, far less likely to get caught even loving around this blatantly, until it's far too late for it to matter

Buttigieg's supporters are posting fact-checks of pedantry in response to mistakes that aren't even being made in the tweet they're replying toward.

"AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. [Pete Buttigieg campaign did not pay for Iowa Caucus app] Buttigieg’s campaign paid the company that created the app that failed during the Iowa Caucus for different technology services."

They think it really makes him look good.

Just FYI the ‘model’ assumes a bit Bernie bounce and Biden drop in the polls, something that I’m not sure we’ll see. It might be more even by Monday.

Bernie will win, but don’t freak out about changes to a 538 model
