Iowa getting delisted is no joke. The national apparatus lost the ability to rig the caucus, so they had to move onto a southern state that shouldn’t even have a say in federal elections because they’d still be on probation for the civil war.

I don’t understand why the primary isn’t just ordered by the last 5 closest states with some weight towards EV. Put whatever the tipping point state was, first, and then go in order. So (without looking) I’d be something like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin in some semblance of that order. Who gives a fuck what South Carolina thinks. They haven’t voted for a Dem in 80 years.

With how handily Bernie won Nevada I’m surprised they’re even allowed in the primary anymore.

lol I had missed this. riiiiiiiiiiiiiigged

whoever the democratic candidate is, they will get full support from liberals regardless of their politics

If it’s a liberal candidate, which Bernie could qualify as. If it was Kshama Sawant or a real leftist…well liberals don’t have a good record choosing between socialism and fascism. Again I have no idea who this theoretical leftist Democratic candidate could be. I think even a Bernie candidacy would be enough of an excuse for Democrats to rebel, if not voting for Trump then voting for a centrist spoiler. Didn’t Bloomberg threaten to run a spoiler campaign if Bernie won the primary?

I agree with your general sentiment that someone to the left of Biden could win against Trump, but the checks of bourgeoisie democracy prevent any sort of true change to happen with a presidential election.
