which means he doesn’t know the rules as it would be more impactful if just Pete did it

but then he would look like a bitch

perez knows the rules

he just knows pete wanting a recount only when he lost makes him look like a bigger ratfuck than he does already and why pete had perez ask for it

Money. They're utterly corrupt.

Losing elections does not shut off the money.

Losing donors shuts off the money.

They're rather lose correctly than win incorrectly.

actually he talked to the Pete campaign and then used his position of authority to make their request for a recount on their behalf, thus obfuscating who exactly was calling the vote into question (because Buttgieg’s campaign doesn’t want to appear to be “disrespecting the results”) and making it seem more official.

I bet the IDP didn't expect that doing a woopsie on Monday night to help Buttigieg would completely destroy the entire state party and their spot in the nominating process so they might have switched to hatinghim now.

It's a recount and also it isn't going to happen. Pete would have to ask for it himself and make the argument that it would change the number of national delegates he'd get, which it almost certainly wouldn't. And even if they did agree to do it, his campaign would have to pay for it. There won't be a recanvass.

No it is just recounting the results from Monday, which would take less than a day by an independent auditing firm but also is what they supposedly have been doing for the last three days already so at best might give them a way to disqualify the couple dozen precincts where they really went off the rails and did stuff like allow supporters of viable candidates to re-align.

Can't post for 8 years!

unsurprisingly the journalism guy with Dr in his twitter handle is leaning on definitions of 'academic definitions' to hide that he's wrong. here's what a leading academic on the subject of oligarchs, political scientist jeffery winters, has to say, on the first page of his book Oligarchy:

academic talking about definition of oligarch posted:

For centuries, oligarchs were viewed as empowered by wealth, an idea muddled by elite theory in the early twentieth century. The common thread for oligarchs across history is that wealth defines and empowers them, and inherently exposes them to threats. The existential motive of all oligarchs is the defense of wealth. Their pursuit of wealth defense varies with the threats they confront, including how directly involved they are in supplying the coercion underlying all property claims, and whether they act separately or collectively.

it's hard for me to understand you can reconcile bernie's beliefs, statements, and actions with this or the other stuff in the book. but i'm just a shitposter and not a guy with a phd, so he's probably right.

Pete isn’t gonna personally ask for a recount because that would make him look like the sourgrapes one. He tried to request it indirectly through Perez to avoid that.
