How is Mayor Cheat "ahead" in Iowa? Simple.

Just don't count Bernie counties.

bernie_0.png

Mayor Cheat isn't ahead even under these rigged conditions.
Bernie still leads in actual votes, and is tied in delegates going to the DNC convention.

So the establishment's objective is simply to a) discourage Sanders supporter, b) continue the Mayor Cheat won myth for as long as possible, and c) not report how Sanders won until the news cycle has moved on to N.H.

@humphrey

I was a Regional VP for AFSCME/AFL-CIO during that cycle and I and many others in the lower level leadership positions fought the international HARD on this, we told them time and time again they were backing a candidate that was almost universally despised by the membership.

It fell on death ears and when they officially came out in support of Clinton the drop cards came in like a downpour fast. (Right to work state so it wasn't closed shop)

Guess it proves that either the leadership is corrupt, they have disdain for the membership and thought they knew better than them, or both.

Either way, their disregard of the will of the membership was about as Anti-union and undemocratic as you can get.

I managed to bring a lot of them back but it took tons of time, lots of travel across the state and hours upon hours of apologizing for the International while trying to convince the members that just because leadership screwed up was not a significant enough reason to leave the rest of their brothers and sisters hanging.

It was a tough time that could have easily been avoided. They would have been better off not giving an endorsement at all.

@humphrey Shadow is a for profit company that is a subsidiary of Acronym, a tech company founded by corporate Democrats with strong ties to the Clinton and Buttigieg campaigns. As such, there would be no donations to Shadow. There could be contracts and the Buttigieg and Biden campaigns apparently had contracts with Acronym or Shadow. Acronym also runs a corporate Democrat PAC called...you guessed it....PAcronym. The donations shown could be to Pacronym.

You might have previously posted this link but I think the machinations need to be stressed:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/angry-sanders-supporters-stor...

This scenario played out in more precincts than not, I'd wager:

After the initial vote at the First Presbyterian Church, just Sanders, with 32 votes, and Pete Buttigieg, with 15 votes, met the (15%) viability threshold of 13 (out of 86 total).

But then, in the second vote, Joe Biden's support started to grow to as high as 16. Because he had votes to spare, his representatives siphoned them off to Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. As a result, all three just met the viability threshold.

After the shift, Sanders ended up with 37% support in the room, Buttigieg had 17%, and the three other campaigns each had just cleared 15%.

So the result was one state delegate equivalent apiece. And these results get moshed into the actual convention delegate count in some other whacked out manner.

Collusion!

@humphrey I disagree. Rewwarding cheaters begets more cheating.

I am all for #BringingPumaBack

Oh wait, I #DemExited their party anyway.

Personally I am not afraid of Trump getting 4 more years than I am with a Corpricrat with a mandate.

The latter can do a lot more damage because they will not call out any malfeasance in their own President for fear that their Shampeachment will come back to haunt them if the republicans gain the house somehow.

Also their is another bonus of 4 more years of Trump will just be a reiteration of how terrible they are and possibly send even more people towards a progressive candidate in the future.

We were able to rebuild and unify after the civil war, we will be able rebuild after Trump.

Why are their no election monitors in there watching the process, all discussion, etc?

I am having none of that. Bernie definitely kicked all of their asses. And it must be bad. Because they would rather reveal themselves as corrupt and incompetent shit-for-brains morons than to release the real numbers. So the real numbers must be a complete fucking slaughter.

Buttagag/Warren ticket in 2020? How about Buttagag/Biden, after all, boot is young and will need that expert guidance from old Joe. But a Warren VP should pull in lots of ID Pol voters so who knows, and from what we're all told to believe Warren will "fight hard" for us as the "kickass woman" she is. Sure.

I read yesterday a piece at Wall Street on Parade talking up Liz and her "going after" a CEO from Citibank on how his bank managed to get a repeal of some thing or another of Dodd-Frank. Of course her spiel was very aggressive, pointed out the corruption, etc. Funny thing though, she never mentioned the obvious hypocrisy in that hearing - how did a CEO alone get a change in a last minute spending bill repealing that particular item from Dodd Frank WITHOUT the help of Congress and Senate? Not a peep on just which critters take bucks from Citibank who wrote that last minute provision to the bill. Huh. Imagine that.

@lizzyh7 I'm still convinced she's a closet Republican just saying whatever she thinks will get her elected.

She showed her true colors when she didn't go out and throw her support for Sanders. She should have been out there stumping and Endorsing him at every opportunity if she actually gave a shit about getting a progressive in the office.

Instead she eventually got behind the Corpricrat.

of them. I like to see if there is more to the tweet and the responses to it. I am asking everyone to please do this. To the articles to instead of just screenshots.

Glenn nails it here:

I know this isn't adding much but you can fucking believe they still haven't posted the full vote totals, still haven't explained anything about what happened, still haven't explained how they selected the results they did release, and still won't say when it will be finished?

It is now 2 days since the sh*t show in Iowa and we are supposed to believe that they still haven't tallied the results? Or that we noticed that they haven't counted the counties that look to be pro Bernie? Puleeese!

Pete's minority support is going to cost him in states going forward imo. Look at these numbers:

And lol at how he put the minority folks in the very front of the group. Yeah not obvious at all.
