It’s actually awesome and terrible at the same time

I am pretend mad at my wife that we wasted so much time caucusing for yang. Honey u wasted 4 hours of both our time how do you feel about this

On the flip side and what is extremely unfortunate



She still in denial and still thinks he still has a shot


tell your wife Yang still has a chance!

CNN will exclude him from the next debate, it then gets attacked and all candidates perish. HRC blames the Russians, and Tulsi, with no evidence. A long investigation provides no clues but everyone still maintains Tulsi is involved. Yang then goes head to head with a resurrected Kamala Harris and wins in a sad but triumphant return.

for real tho, im yanggang to the core and i cant be asked to do any campaigning for him. its just a losing fight.

I think the caucus system just sucks. Also, the DNC sucks. I don't know why we give Iowa this huge event every presidential election. Every state should be switched to a primary system, and the first primary vote should be Super Tuesday or something.


Problem is that New Hampshire state law requires it to hold the first primary in the nation. But yeah, lump together IO/NH/NV/SC with super tuesday and start the primary season on that date.

Embarrassing if true.


Or intentional, scare the public so they wont consider modern voting paradigms. Easier to fuck with paper voting systems. Tech BAD, paper GOOD.

I must be the outlier here in despising primaries and loving the caucus system.

Why do you prefer one or the other? I'm not knowledgeable enough about either to have a strong opinion.

those guys are only winking at it, Rush told it like a lot of americans felt. i dont agree with him, at all, but labeling him as human feces is just alienating more voters. didnt work in 2016.

and you're free to do it all day long, you're not a DNC chair or candidate. but when they do it i just roll my eyes.

it's funny that someone who is a drain on resources in some small-time town would label anyone else as 'human feces'.
then again unwarranted self-importance tends to afflict quite a few people that post on this forum. they probably get it from certain characters in the media who influence their opinions and actions

It has bias towards people without much to do. I need to go to bed to wake up early and work all day.

Yep. Iowa and New Hampshire aren't even representative of this country for multiple reasons. The first contest should be Super Tuesday, or some other diverse multi-state coalition right out of the gate. That would give parties a better idea of who the best candidate is and who can campaign well in multiple, diverse states.

Though, this system would likely give a larger benefit to candidates with larger name recognition and more money out of the gate, and allow for less "momentum" for underdogs.

Either way, Iowa should switch to a primary system.
