Struggling to adopt a new byzantine process of tabulating results
This is the dumbest shit, theyre using the exact same formula as previous caucuses, only this time they have to write down the actual numbers of votes (which they use for the formula anyways!) and report those. Byzantine process are you fucking kidding me?

At this moment any of those who were at the back of the pack, and probably would have stepped down had they not one. As well as those in the middle. This way they can all go into New Hampshire with a shred of hope.

I never changed. It's just that like a lot of internet communities, CE has become an echo chamber for people who embrace extremist ideology to try and give their uneventful lives more meaning. At first it was mostly racist alt-right types but now you see tons of bernie bots acting the exact same way.

Apparently it's crazy for me to state the fact that the DNC, at the request of Bernie, changed the rules to how the voting process works which includes a more lengthy process of tallying votes. Meanwhile, this topic is full of people who literally think the DNC and Buttigieg illegally colluded with a software developer to have an app fail during the caucus. How would this even help them or hurt Bernie? They can't say, but the important thing is that you constantly parrot baseless conspiracy theories you find on twitter and attack anyone who questions them.

People really hate the fact that they can't refute anything I say, especially when it disrupts the hivemind. So they spend the entire topic attacking me while simultaneously saying I'm the one derailing topics.

Incompetence by the Democratic party.
I think it might be intentional at this point. They caused confusion by delaying the results and having others start claiming victory. This robs him of his moment and momentum, drawing attention from him to the deeply flawed process itself. Either way, I'm just loling at the DNC.

Honestly even a second place or close third place is massive for Pete.

Not that I believe he'll win elsewhere (or the election in general) but this can set him up well for future elections.

Peep the PIN number in the top right.

I think this is all Democrat incompetence rather than deliberate sabotage. But oh what incompetence it is.

This, Pete is obviously talking about doing extremely well in a primary. I swear nuance is lost on so many of you.

Also this attack on Bernie or somehow this is centrist math (wtf does that even mean) is so stupid. Listen to yourselves.

Bernie advocated for a new way to report the votes to bring transparency. Thats a good thing; the downside with so many candidates is that its complicated. It is not just addition as some of you fail to understand, but they need to look at the viability and make sure the math adds up correctly in both rounds. It gets messy when people leave, change supporters, etc. But there is a paper trail and they are wanting to validate the data. Yeah it sucks we have to wait a few hours but as long as they send it out correctly it is what it is. Hopefully they learn from this process to make the next caucuses better.

btw the real thing we should all be worried about is that voter turnout was not very high

yeah it seems kind of bizarre to me; I'd expect more turnout with more candidates, though maybe that's a weird assumption

I'd be more concerned if NH has low voter turnout or other early primary states have low voter turn out.

Its also possible that with so many candidates, people are too uncertain who they want or more people want a smaller pool before committing.

"Why waste time supporting this candidate I most agree with if there's almost no chance they win?"

Which I know isn't the most logically sound course of action but most people don't act or think logically
