    In this era, if you like America and don't want America fundamentally transformed into a global socialist police state run by oligarchs out of Europe, you should totally not want Democrats running the country. America is so great and most here have no clue.

    Not 100% sure of how this works in states with caucuses, but the legislatures in states with primary elections set the dates or their elections. If the parties set the caucus dates, then the issue lies with the party.
    No one is disenfranchised - if your guy's name isn't in the ballot - and they usually are - you can write them in.
    The system may be "broken', as you describe it, because of the imperfect people running it.

    Great distinction noted. Progressives want to reverse the last election and eliminate the next election or, as Schiff admitted, all future elections. There may be an illusion of Fascism in the Democratic Party. No illusion of a Democratic process.

    Here we go, first results are released. Seems Biden didn't do well, but Sanders did. So much for conspiracy theories.

    Still a poor showing by the Iowa Dem Party. However, the silly ideas that Hillary had the caucus rigged may be premature.

    Impeachment and the Iowa fiasco will not be remembered in November.

    I don't think you realize how luck you are that they don't come to your state. Having to put up with them and all those stupid ads you can have it if you want.

    It's a free world, you don't have to go to the rallies and town halls in Iowa if you don't want to. Where I live, I can't go, even if I wanted to, because there aren't any. Makes no sense.

    The Iowa caucus make the Keystone cops look sober and reserved.
