Sounds to me like the process was always ratfucked, the new rules and more transparency just exposed the ratfuckery when previously they all got away with it

Seems to show just how caucuses are a bad idea -- if you include enough information that you can trust the results they collapse under their own weight

 

True, I’m more so angry that the guy is blaming Bernie for this lol

 

You can cut the volunteers some slack without blaming this in bernie

 

I was against caucuses from the start. But adding more steps and points of failure and human interaction seems to have caused a lot of issues.

 

Wat

 

Humans are bad at everything.

 

Interesting that the candidate who helped develop the app that crashed is claiming victory

 

This reeks of conspiracy mongering until a lot more reporting is done.

 

He claimed victory lol

 

Well, let’s hope this was the last Iowa caucus we ever had. Introducing 2024, the “Iowa Primary”!

 

I ... oh god this is gonna be a bad year

 

Kill me now.

 

Please tell me this is a series of scheduled tweets that got sent on accident that would be incredible lmao

 

wtf why is mayo claiming victory

 

I’m going to lose my fucking mind.

 

Do you think the caucus would be better without the transparency rules?

I don't think it is. Yes, its slowed down the results. But doesn't that just indicate the old results quite possibly had issues with them? I feel like if increased scrutiny causes problems with how you are running things, you shouldn't blame the increased scrutiny you should blame how you're running things.

 

I think the math was hard for people to understand and they calculated it wrong. This was a different process of reporting and tabulating, not like the old results.
