The same endurance was needed in 2008 and 2016.

But yes this is just one state, if its a trend that continues however.....maybe people arent liking the toxicity

Pete brought the hashtag on himself though; should have something along of Top 3 or even we expect to finish Top 2.

Clearly by how much vitriol people post they wont use any type of nuance to discuss this....but I guess Twitter and FB are bubbles but still

maybe dont declare yourself the winner with zero percent reporting

especially when you have direct ties to the company that made the shitty app that was used

he didnt call himself the winner; he used victorious. He was expected to get 3rd from most peoples counts IIRC, hes probably gonna get a very strong 2nd. He and Amy punched up from what they expected; his choice of word of confusing to people who dont think of this and thats on him

This whole fiasco is why we need blockchain voting.

Immutable so you don't need to worry about any fraudulent votes. Public so we can all see the votes coming in at real time and to whom.

Pete is saying he meant he is victorious for lasting this long.

youre right. The obvious answer is

Mayor Cheat and the DNC conspired with an app company to crash to delay the announcement of his good caucus results so that further scrutiny could be given to the app and greatly harm its reputation because this company solely exists to help Pete.

how could I have been so blind!!!!

Yeah, except California would actually be well under way by now. There are no official reported results out of Iowa, not even incomplete ones, because the Democrats hired an incompetent ass firm to make an app to tabulate the results(did I mentioned the contract was no-bid?), the use of which is mandatory, and then they hired Robby Mook to test it, and, surprise surprise! It doesn't work! It's incompetent and corrupt, but most of all embarrassing.

Come on man. You know you dont even have to get into conspiracy theory territory to get why Buttigieg would want to use terms that make him sound like the flat out winner.

This sham (which is not a conspiracy, but rather just straight up incompetence) has kneecapped every candidate from using it is a true momentum booster. Thats all Pete was doing. Theres no grand conspiracy behind it. His phrasing is just terrible when theres literally zero official results released

Ever screw up so bad that someone else has to just throw away everything you did and start all over again?

Iowa just did that, and now New Hampshire is the de facto first contest of the 2020 campaign.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/4aga3p/the-democrats-screwed-america-with-an-app-no-one-asked-for
It doesnt take a conspiracy, though, to surmise what happened: Connected insiders using buzzwords to sell an unnecessary and overcomplicated solution to a nonexistent problem is the political system working as it always does. The difference here is just how public and spectacular the failure was.

Some caucus chairs, like Iowa state senator Zach Wahls, said they had no problem reporting results via the app. However, Wahls also tweeted that iPhone users had to download the app via TestFlight, an iOS environment that allows to share and test their apps with other users before they're officially released. Developers often share their games and apps with Motherboard with TestFlight for pre-release review purposes. This, again, is a nonstandard way of installing apps. Even though we have installed many apps this way, there are often problems installing them. Given our experiences with TestFlight, it is not at all surprising that asking hundreds of people to install an app using TestFlight could result in some problems.

The DNC and Iowa's Democratic establishment has failed at their most basic duties: Instilling a sense of competence, trust, and normalcy in the electoral process. The decision to use an app that it didn't need, to hide the creator of this app, and to delay the reporting process has led to unmitigated chaos.
...
Even if the app is secure, we don't know if it worked as designed or if people knew how to use it. (The app wasnt included in the chair training that everyone was required to take, Zach Simonson, the Democratic Party chair in Wapello County, told the Times.) Theres a lot we dont know; we do know that right now it looks like the institutional Democratic Party is far more interested in appearing to do things effectively than in doing so.

Warren is who I feel can best unite the party while maintaining excitement and appeal to people outside our base with populism.

I would support any of the current Democratic candidates. Ive had too many friends families ruined by our current immigration system, especially amongst the undocumented and I am not selfish enough to condemn them to throw a hissy fit.
