It's just a delaying tactic so that Bernie can't claim victory because the count is still ongoing. Nothing more to it.

This.

Rigging doesn't only mean number tampering. You can cheat by loving with the narrative too. I'd argue that given Iowa's low delegate count, the actual result is less important than the perception of victory which the DNC, through the IDP, has given to Mayor Cheat. Hopefully the whole process has backfired.

If god is truly just, Pete will pull the pin on his suicide vest and accuse Bernie of tampering in Iowa.

There have to be some Iowa Goons here. Anyone know what has to be done to make Iowa a primary state and do away with the caucuses? Would it just take an act of the legislature?

Nah, that's a party vote.

Party vote, but its difficult because its not just one party. Both parties have first in the nation caucus language in their platforms, and I doubt one party is going to change if the other doesn't.

The DNC however can just say "gently caress you iowa, do a primary on super tuesday or you don't get your delegates at the national convention". Bernie, you know what you need to do after you win

Tom Perez is a vile worm conglomeration stitched together in a human suit and people were still lapping up his dung when he elevated a bunch of spooks into US congress to give Trump concentration camp funding and hosed over any talk of climate change.

Which occurred because the app counting the DNC votes hosed up and somehow only Perez got the first round results and so only him and Obama could lobby members to change their vote.

Weird how hosed up apps keep accidentally helping the establishment.

Wow, it sure seems strange how all these Obama alums have been funding and running all these tech startups all of a sudden :thunk:

The fact that Bernie played the game better doesn't mean you get to rewrite the rules.

Show him clips of Bloomberg endorsing Bush I. 2004, mention stop and frisk, mention the soda ban if he’s a personal liberty guy and mention that he’s a billionaire oligarch with absolutely no chance at beating Trump

Is he a general Democrat supporter or just a Bloomberg guy? That changes the dynamic.

As big of a punching bag Pete is for everyone, Bloomberg against Bernie is going to be an absolute cake walk to convince average voters. If your stepdad is a millionaire then there’s no convincing him but if he’s not let us know what his priorities are

he is not a millionaire. First of all he is just about to turn eighty in a couple months and he was raised in a poor family in philadelphia. I've tried to tell him about those things and he won't listen. He also won't listen when I tell him that he has no chance to win the primary and if he does it was through trickery. It is honestly just making me said that he could be hoodwinked in such a way because he watches the view.
