    Not quite.... The GOP-E progressive never-Trumpers are just as freaked out by the DNC-E progressives screw ups as the Dem hedge fund lobby is.

    Acknowledging the obvious game of deceit against the voters that the authoritarian liberal Democrat establishment is playing is the common link between the right and the Bernie Bros. Perhaps the only commonality, but it's there.

    Liberal Democrats are telling voters to idly watch them take complete power or stay home. Voters who are not in their flock of sleeping sheep are a threat to be disdained, ridiculed, and destroyed.

    Bernie followers, Trump followers and any other "dissidents" are to be silenced.

    It's fairly obvious that even most of our leftists don't truly buy into either the accident or incompetence explanation. THE DNC despises Bernie, Bernie was projected to clean up. Suddenly the system is FUBAR for the first time ever, and -- yep -- Hillary supporters were once again involved.

    If I've learned nothing from the past couple of years on here, it's do NOT jump to conclusions either way, especially the next day.....

    They are saying software bug, and being a former software developer for 20+ years, that doesn't blow my mind.

    But I'm not going to assume anything intentional until some evidence emerges...

    In a way it's almost funny he is in most ways where they'd like to go but haven't yet the guts to try.

    Indeed. Only now it might be Bloomberg, because it's now strongly suspected that he recently purchased the political loyalty of the DNC . . . just like Hillary did back in 2016. So Warren might just be in real trouble rather than faux trouble.

    The DNC knows that not enough people have been turned into hand-outs at taxpayers' expense junkies and so it's still about ten to fifteen years too early for the Dem Party's leadership to openly back an avowed socialist or Marxist for the presidency. But it is definitely on their To-Do list for the future.

    You should probably go volunteer your services. Right now, putting it as charitably as possible the Democratic party and computer anything seem to be alien entities that don't work well together. From the botched roll out of Obama care to this there seems to be no computer operation that Democrats can't completely screw up.

    Please let's be clear it is Iowa Democrats that are the ones that screwed this up. The Iowa Democrat party is the one that dropped the ball. Like always they Republicans have there **** together and have reported.

    "from Gatewood- The DNC knows that not enough people have been turned into hand-outs at taxpayers' expense junkies and so it's still about ten to fifteen years too early for the Dem Party's leadership to openly back an avowed socialist or Marxist for the presidency. But it is definitely on their To-Do list for the future."




    Yeah,, I figured from the start NONE of these clowns really expect to prevail against a roaring economy and peace breaking out for the USA.. I think all they wanted to do was to throw ever bit of their Marxist platform on the wall to see what sticks. .. then they'll "moderate" or 'seek the center' (which they figure has been moved far Left) in 2024.

    It is interesting to see the different reactions between the GOP having a Nationalist beat all of their Republicans and the DNC openly trying to stomp out competition from Bernie against the nominee which that party will pick for the voters this year.

    The GOP won some voters who were old Blue Dog Democrats, non-voters, labor unionists, and even some disgruntled Bernie voters in 2016. Instead of trying to keep voters who aren't fundamentalist-Republicans out of the tent, they expanded the tent to accommodate the will of the people who supported Trump.

    By contrast, the DNC is openly hostile, not only to Bernie specifically, but to his voters.

    So in the meantime, they praise illegal immigrants while detesting Americans. They love "humanity", but hate humans.

    The biggest problem for the Dems is that had it almost all there own way for nearly fifty years, between 1932 and Ronald Reagan. Even their Republican opposition shared their views for the most part. Now Trump and Bernie are revealing the *****s in their rather sieve like armor and they are scared and frightened and angry, hence their response to Trump has been halfassed at best and totally deranged at worst. And their response to Bernie thus far consisting publicly of scolding him for something he says he never said. Haven't been much better.
    (Me thinks somebody's auto correct is just a bit too PC)

    These posts really should have been merged when they got redirected from Current Events.. THAT THEY ARE.

    Never the less:

    Nevada Dems planning to use similar app linked to Iowa caucus mess

    "For its caucuses later this month, the Nevada Democratic Party (NDP) is planning to use an app similar to the one that contributed to the issues reporting the results of the Iowa caucuses on Monday night — and it has paid almost $60,000 to the same company that developed the Iowa app.

    Shadow Inc., a tech firm that describes itself as a group that creates "a permanent advantage for progressive campaigns and causes through technology," is the company that created the Iowa Democratic Party's app, according to The New York Times. The NDP is also planning to use an app to report the results of its caucuses and paid Shadow $58,000 in August."

    "Shadow is also connected to a variety of former Hillary Clinton campaign staffers. At least the COO, CEO, CTO and a senior product manager at Shadow all worked for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, according to LinkedIn profiles."

    Dems are digging their own graves .. let em!

    Um . . . that won't work if he is a White male with proven experience in the field. The Dem Party's powers that be now hire only ethnically diverse applicants. Although I guess he could identify as a Native American . . . one/ten thousandths should do the trick.

    1) notice the app is called "SHADOW" (because democrats are shady)
    2) Bernie was up in the polls (we know they (the democrat overlords) don't want bernie and it doesn't matter to them what the PEOPLE want, just like it didn't in 2016)
    3) The winner will be whoever the democrat overlords want. YOU don't matter to them
    4) Come join the republican party. You know we don't rig stuff here. Need proof? Pretty much every republican politician HATED TRUMPS GUTS in 2016, but yet he still won because it was the will of the PEOPLE. Come join the party that actually cares about your vote, regardless if the overlords want otherwise, your vote will still be honored!

    What is it with Dems and computers anyway? They can't do computer security they can't debug a program. Microsoft and apple would fire people for screw ups that dems seem to think of as par for the course.

    If anyone but Bernie doesn't come out ahead, all this is going to look really bad for the DNC.

    I don't believe the far far left are going to turn out for the general if they feel cheated again. And the independents and swing voters are not going to vote for a socialist.

    Trump is going to win 2020 easily.

    We have to have a Congressional investigation to figure out why the Democrat party is interfering in our elections

    Why doesn't Iowa just have a primary and whoever wins gets all the delegates? Why do they have to make it all so complicated and keep trying to please everyone? Personally, I hate the whole caucus idea, trying to make it a social event. When I go to vote, I already know which candidate I want and no one, at that point, is going to sway me. And seems like it's nobody's business who I vote for.

    Also, if the DNC doesn't want Bernie, since he's not a Democrat anyway, why don't they just have backbone and tell him to go run for the Socialist Party? Oh yeah, because then he'd be a third party candidate and split their votes.
