The Iowa Caucus Discussion Thread

[EvilMonkey]

This is our catch all thread to discuss the Iowa Caucuses through the election. Should be good and busy here this week.

That's a copy & paste job which is fine but this will be for general discussion for the election, no specific topic other than that then it will be unstuck.

Edit: I see the post I have replied to has been deleted, still, see above for purpose of this post.

Since the general election IS the fat lady singing, perhaps Iowa should not feature in the title? Something more egalitarian, perhaps, like The Primaries?

I REALLY think a coupla states are commanding too much money and too much media. Money and Media, as we daily see, is a shit combination.

I am thinking we'll have a different thread for each state of the primaries. Of course it's not meant to take away from anything and everyone is free to post openly as they always have. They will just be stuck during election times.

I was watching Biden on C-SPAN today and he said something funny, "I'm hoping to beat the frontrunner of this race, and they asked me who that was. At thirty percent the frontrunner is 'Undecided.'"

Too bad it's the Iowa caucuses. Why can't the election start in some other state, say more that's representative of the country. Those mother fuckers gave us the worst candidates out of the choices in each election for nearly the past thirty years. It's obvious they're out of touch with the rest of the U.S.

Got it, sort of. Or not. Once a state becomes unstuck, will there be a handy way for Slow Feature Learners, in an effort to contrast and compare the cliques that constitute non-representative minorities, to maneuver amongst our fifty Unified States?
