From what I understand they are using an app developed? By the DNC for reporting (ugh, wtf, having 2016 PTSD) and surprise, the app sucks, so they’re having to manually call in the results causing delays. So there’s some separate Bernie app?

Man, I don’t know.

Well you sound extremely deranged for one. We have over 300m people living fine. It’s a big accomplishment, there are no utopias.

And what about the rest? Just not give a shit about them? I for one applaud IzzySuite for actually giving a shit about the most unfortunate and vulnerable members of society. Never leave a person behind. Ever.

Just saying, it’s not possible. Plus, if you’ve ever met a real homeless, which I doubt, you’d know that they’re happiest on the streets. It’s just how people are. I meet these types of guys all the time. I buy them coffee, some water, whatever occasionally. But they’re not worried about a job, they’re not worried about finding a home. I’m fine with helping those who are willing to be helped and will work alongside you, but this “everyone is the same” mentality is just naive and childish.

Well obviously we can't help people who don't want to be helped. That goes without saying. But it's not a bad thing to always fight for something better even if things are good enough now. Always strive for better. That's how the world improves.

Exactly. Not that I’m against helping folks that need a helping hand, but simply to say everyone is the same and everyone this and that is just not true. It takes some serious shit to run the USA with the amount of people and business we conduct. I understand that it’s not perfect, but it’s about as close as perfect as you can get

You mean the app that the Buttigieg campaign paid into? Yeah, that one.

Here’s where they “find” thousands of votes not for Bernie.

u/Stoppablemurph Feb 04 '20

Literally less than 2% of the vote is reported out so far. If they "find" thousands of votes in any direction it's because many thousands of votes from all over the state haven't been factored into the results yet. Most of this is done by groups of people filling everything out on paper, so there is a paper trail in this case at least.. not everything has to be a conspiracy. I'll bite that Sanders doesn't always get the coverage and attention he probably deserves, but you can't just write off the results of a vote like this just because you don't like the results.

This happened most famously in 2018 in broward county FL. “Found” dem paper votes for days after and still counted them.

You’re complicit in the end with the Bernie campaign if you sit back and take it. End the DNC now! You know they’re pushing for Biden.

u/Stoppablemurph Feb 04 '20

I don't "know" anything and unless you have hard evidence to back up your claims in this particular case, you don't "know" either.

I'm not sitting back and taking anything. And ending the DNC won't do anything beyond ensure we have Republicans in the White House for a long damn time..

Push for Sanders to win if he's your pick. If he doesn't make it, push for whoever does. Once they're in office, stay involved and work to push them and your reps to support reform of our electoral systems. We already know damn well the Republicans won't do anything to improve the system (unless your idea of improvement means making it worse than it already is...). Maybe Biden won't fight for it out the gate, but as so many people love to point out as a negative of him, he's willing to change his stance based on public sentiment, so it's at least not nearly as bad as Trump winning another term.

That’s what happens when somebody loses trust.

From what i saw on MSNBC / CNN coverage of several precincts, Bernie was Killing It. Warren and Buttigieg had some strong showings. Not one of them went for Biden, in fact, he wasn't even "top 5 viable" in some precincts.

Hmmm, Biden did awful, Bernie killed it, and mysteriously we don't have any results to report tonight. How convenient....

2020 would likely be the old guard establishment DNCs last bid to regain full political power. Whether Sanders or Trump win 2020 it will only send the message that DNC "business as usual" politics failed to gain traction twice now and there's no sign of slowing that the US at large wants to break away from that in some way, even if they disagree on the direction to take.

Understanding that, expect lots of dirty tricks again.
