According to high ups from multiple campaigns, voting app failed, backup plan failed. Might not have votes until at least tomorrow.

Well, this is a complete shitshow now. Time to go to bed, New Hampshire will be the first state that maters.

First primary of 2020 ends with allegations of fixing, calls for the DNC President to resign, everyone asking “who won” (to which the answer is IDK), and everyone calling for the end of the Iowa Caucus. What a time to be alive! 2020 is sure looking like a fantastic year ?

 

 

Basically the Iowa Democrats relied on an untested app to count votes, and fucking failed miserably. Every major candidate declared victory, all their supporters say the other side cheated. People decried the end of democracy, and then everyone went to sleep, and no one gave a single shit about the Iowa Caucus.

Sanders wins the first Caucus! Iowans currently in Glasgow, Scotland have given a majority of their support to Bernie Sanders (9 out of 19 voters )

 

You were slow!

Except that Bloomberg has to get those same people to like him for that happen. Plus, his a Super Bowl ads get jack shit. Most people hated them.

 

If you read social media and watch CNN you get an impression most people hate Trump as well. Yet he somehow won the damn election

 

Speaking of CNN, even they can't spin the Iowa caucuses delay fiasco. "Chaos" and "failure" is the two most common words I hear all morning. Way to go, dickheads! Someone even said Donald Trump can call himself the winner of the Dems Iowa caucus Bloomberg's decision to skip this mess looks better by the minute.

 

Guess nobody will blame this on the Russian hackers? Dems look every bit as incompetent like I even didn't think they would.

Everyone (mostly Democrats though) always seem to forget about the silent majority.

Silent majority is the biggest bullshit in politics alright. Jeremy Corbyn jumped on this train in the UK and look where he is now

Thank God Iowa devalued their Caucus this year.

What's the whole point of this caucus thingy anyway? Is it part of the process to decide who will be each party's candidate in the elections?
