A conspiracy theory!
The utter indifference displayed by the DNC, the Iowa Democratic Party and much of the media about that little matter of the unreported **38%** of the vote is amazing:

“Eh, we gave ‘em 62%; the screeching, unreasonable ingrates can wait until we get around to the rest.”
Take your time, assholes. Maybe you can tell us the real, full vote total some time in April. Don’t miss your doctors’ appointments, or your spinning classes, or your wine cave fundraisers on our account:

Try to watch this and not laugh. If you claim you succeeded, I won't believe you.
The sad sack non-viable Biden groups are the most hilarious things I’ve seen on TV in ages. Please keep flooding Twitter with these videos:
OK, I’m trying to (sort of) stop but they just get better and better. Someone needs to string together a Best Of for these. That this one stars @jaketapper, who seems to delight in it ever so slightly himself, makes it even better:

Petra Costa, director of the Oscar-nomianted film “Edge of Democracy” about the risks to Brazilian democracy, has spent all day being exposed to the most foul & disgusting attacks after Bolsonaro's official communication channel brander her a liar & his son called her a criminal.
Brazil's most famous writer, @paulocoelho, notes that the official attacks on Petra Costa for the film she made & the pre-Oscar interviews she's been given have been so foul and repugnant that they prove the point of her film & should help it win the Oscar
@paulocoelho Here's the @AP article on the bizarre official attacks from the Bolsonaro administration and the Brazilian government itself on Petra Costa's Oscar-nominated film and her interviews. They've waged war on artists, journalists & dissidents of all kinds. apnews.com/2edc4bd95fc8f2…

The most amazing part about all of this is that these are 2 Bush/Cheney operatives so gravely concerned about an executive above the law, unconstrained by other institutions.

That''s *exactly* what Bush/Cheney created. Google John Yoo, Article II, David Addington, etc.
All this rhetoric about an Imperial Presidency, a lawless executive, a White House unconstrained by law & ethics was the standard liberal critique for how Cheney & friends exploited the War on Terror to place themselves above the law. And it was accurate.

Indeed, both parties have spent decades constructing a model of an executive branch that has few to no meaningful constraints - including the law and Constitution.

And now they're acting shocked that *what they created* has come to fruition washingtonpost.com/posteverything…

Thread. 1. Reposting these images now with the title
"Iowa Math is the #NewMath." In my original post I called these #RoundingErrors. But they are not errors. This is exactly the way the Iowa Democratic Party wants the votes to be counted. #IowaCaucus
smartelections.us/iowa-new-math
2. From my post: "Because of the way the math was done at the caucuses, many precincts wound up with an extra delegate that got 'assigned' to one of the candidates at the end of the caucus. We were able to look at worksheets from 18 precincts that were posted on Twitter." #Iowa
3. "We found a strange process where numbers below .5 were being rounded up in multiple precincts. 6 of the precincts (1/3) had the unusual 'rounding up.' Of the 6 precincts with the "rounding up" - 4 were given to Buttigieg, 2 to Biden, and 1 to Warren. #IowaCaucuses #NewMath

If you don't know the difference between what the DNC says/does and what the Iowa Democratic Party says/does, it's possible you don't know enough about what's going on to have unraveled a big conspiracy.
There's absolutely no way anyone at the DNC thinks this is a good outcome, nor was it their Zeppelin to bring in for a landing.

But the notion of an all-powerful DNC is essential to the appeal of a candidate who runs on grievances against them.
If you want to understand the process by which a candidate becomes the nominee, a good place to start is by learning how much is done at the state and local level, on a shoestring budget, by volunteers.

If you care about the process and don't want to just declare your guy best.

The Iowa Democrat party admitted there was a delay because of “quality control.” Earlier in the day, precinct chairs reported some issues with downloading the new result reporting app ahead of the caucuses #dumpsterfire breitbart.com/politics/2020/…
Iowa Democratic caucus results are plunged into crisis as party says it has found 'INCONSISTENCIES' and will have to use paper ballots in panicked statement saying it has NOT been hacked

😂🤔😂

“Something is clearly off from the plan that the Iowa Democratic Party had at the start of the night. They did not expect to have no vote reporting at 10:30 Eastern at night. That is dramatically later than we’ve seen the past”

-Iowa Democratic Party uses secretive app for caucus reporting
-App stops working a few hours before caucus begins
-Results trickle in but show dominating performance for Sanders, death knell for Biden camp
-Counting now shut down by DNC for "quality control"

I have that right?
More on the app here:

Sure, let's call it a tie

Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus
