Seriously. Bernie fans already feel the system is rigged against them. If they go "Pete is winning. Whoops new results are coming in so Sanders might win. HAHA j/k we uh followed the rules wrong and Pete's totally winning again lol" it'll be a complete disaster

 

IDP: done for the night.

I now have two things going ... slight win for Bernie. Slight win for Pete. (SDE count.) All based on a rule I can’t quite parse. And a 13/13 tie anyway. (Which I’m gonna brag about if ends up being right from two days ago anyway.)

(note: still errors in the data that I know about. Slight changes both ways.)

 

“Sorry we sorta rigged it by accident for Sanders first” is not going to go over well.

 

After this week I'm never saying the word Iowa again

 

Just an embarrassment all around from the IDP. Even after massively fucking up at the start, they continue to find new and improved ways to fuck up even more. Everyone should be mad, and Iowa should absolutely lose its going first privileges next cycle over this clusterfuck.

 

But how will we know the king of Iowa.
Isn’t that what this is about?

no?

bueller?

 

Supreme Corn Emperor Bernard Sanders

 

Have NV, NH and SC all go on the same day next time, done

 

Ranked choice primary. I’m fucking done reading rules and fractions.

 

Concur. It’s close as fuck.

 

A plus of Pete getting the headlines is everyone is focusing their attacks on him, which should help Bernie

 

lol we know

 

Bernie Sanders’ campaign announced Thursday it raised $25 million in January from nearly 650,000 people, a third of whom were new donors. That makes it his best fundraising month of the 2020 campaign, according to his team.

 

This is well written but so so obvious

 

the slipknot album is good

 

when you're a Senator and have nothing better to do but call a Jewish podcaster an antisemite for correctly calling you a zionist but it's cool because you're the hip Senator who tweets with Chris Murphy about lizzo

 

Assuming Bloomberg still decides to deploy his money/power in support of Sanders in the general election, his efforts should really help blunt the impact of this disinformation campaign

 

this hasn't been fixed yet, just checked

 

They're gonna go 100% in tomorrow and then still not declare a winner because of the amount of fuck ups they had, maybe it'll take another week for that

 

This article is frightening and fascinating. The longer it goes on, the more sophisticated the information warfare seems to be.
