Take your time, assholes. Maybe you can tell us the real, full vote total some time in April. Don’t miss your doctors’ appointments, or your spinning classes, or your wine cave fundraisers on our account:

The utter indifference displayed by the DNC, the Iowa Democratic Party and much of the media about that little matter of the unreported **38%** of the vote is amazing:
“Eh, we gave ‘em 62%; the screeching, unreasonable ingrates can wait until we get around to the rest.”

plu·toc·ra·cy
Government by the wealthy.
plu·to·crat
A person whose power derives from their wealth.
e.g. "He had long been an oligarch but he longed to be a true plutocrat. So he dipped into his billions to buy an election." twitter.com/MikeBloomberg/…

I've never seen a more blatant example of concentrated money rigging an election than Iowa Dems releasing a random percentage of the vote after self-dealing grifters tied to Buttigieg fucked up an election, followed by the NYT, WaPost, CNN, and MSNBC announcing 'partial results.'

With zero transparency about why these decisions were made, why they chose these results and these precincts, what rationale there was for saving them all up to 62% and then unleashing them, etc.
You don’t need to be even a minimal conspiracist to suffocate from the stench.

If Buttigieg ends up losing not only the popular vote as he’s doing, but also the delegate count, as he’s close to doing, think of the **millions** in unjustified media “victory” coverage he will have been handed by this completely outrageous decision to release partial results. twitter.com/krystalball/st…

Anyone who is upset by the electoral college system should be equally upset by this non-democratic system. twitter.com/zachdcarter/st…

Nothing could make this colossal fuck-up better or worse, but the complete - and very much ongoing - lack of transparency is its own scandal. twitter.com/MikePrysner/st…

We should at least name the people responsible and analyze with what factions they are associated and with/for whom they previously worked. I think that will be quite telling. twitter.com/evepeyser/stat…

After a contentious, suspicion-driven, internally bitter primary war of 2016 that (arguably) helped their nominee lose, the Democratic Party had 4 years to ensure that its 2020 process would avoid all those pitfalls and restore trust.
They’re off to a spectacular start.

Right, I checked and conceded your point that very few states have caucuses now - more than I realized have converted to primaries.

I don’t know if this is true but it illustrates why releasing a partial count - knowing that what matters in Iowa is not the puny delegate count but the media narrative - significantly exacerbated all of the major fuck-ups of last night.

That’s a fair point, but not really related to mine.
The presidency is decided by the Electoral College. Yet many Dems have spent 4 years touting the popular vote as the most important metric.
Just wondering if they’ll be consistent here.

Sanders supporters were angry that the DNC, which is supposed to be neutral for Clinton, did everything possible to help her win, which was cheating.
How does that have anything to do with what happened in Iowa?

If “most Democrats” believe caucuses are a terrible way to choose a candidate, it seems strange that so many state Democratic Parties use this system to choose the candidate.
Also, I assume you believe that Sanders won Iowa, right?

This is particularly good on how the fiasco in Iowa reflects - proves, actually - the fundamental rot at the heart of the Democratic Party: twitter.com/lhfang/status/…
