NO WAY in hell Buttigieg is ahead. No one in America is excited about this big dumb interloper. They are insane to think they can pull this bullshit.

If only Bernie had used this four years to clean up the DNC and the voting system. Rather than protect his perceived need to have the party as it is now back him, imagine the popular support (droves I tell ya!) if he had used this time to achieve ranked voting, an uncorrupt DNC, clear and easy voting, dumping the stupid caucus arging and coin-tossing (coin tossing! ffs!).

Agreed, the guy is obviously rigging it for himself, or trying to and failing because he's being way too obvious about it.

Which makes me wonder if he's actually just playing a part for someone else with more power than him...

This does seem like the most likely scenario.

Yeah because the whole fiasco basically ended up taking the spotlight off of bernie, who would've probably had it otherwise.

Instead the spotlight is on this no-name. Seems like a generated distraction, possibly by the Warren camp or Biden camp, or their backers. They benefited the most, because this buys them a little time and kills some momentum of their biggest opponent, Bernie.

Especially when you consider the DNC (from what I understand) is majority financially owned by Clinton and co, who clearly back Warren or Biden over Bernie. So they're able to use the DNC as an apparatus to cover up things like what happened in Iowa. Rather than the DNC trying to clear these things up and investigate them, as one would expect to be the case if they were truly public servants. Very sad for our democracy, especially when the RNC is equally as corrupt.

How can we have a public election when both parties are privately owned and operated, and seem to have no accountability? These are serious problems that need addressed, or else our democracy will continue to fail to represent the intent of the people of the US, and instead will more and more represent the interests of corporations and billionaires.

This should be the national conversation on every news channel right now. Instead, they focus on distractions, because they are similarly owned by those same big-money interests.

We're in kind of a bad spot right now, and the only silver lining is I hope that people are able to see it clearly because it's so blatant. Only when a problem this big is publicly recognized, can it then be addressed and fixed.
