TubularCorporation Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 As far as I can tell nobody has uploaded a scan of the old Bloom County "Raucous Caucus" strip anywhere. Sucks, because we really need it right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, funny how nothing is mentioned about privacy issues. Perhaps I missed something, but isn't it obvious that apart from security issues, there's also going to be a dataset with all info about who voted for who? I know the US has vastly different ideas about privacy, but I'd expect this to be off limits. If this doesnt cross some red line, what will?

Dunno if I'd go that far. But it's evident that many among the ruling elite hate him. 37 minutes ago, ignatius said: so do the republicans.. just for different reasons Republican establishment is fine with outright dictatorship. Dem establishment is more focused on crony capitalism. At least that's how I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 This is the desired result of people who want to sow distrust in the democratic process, so that you think they are rigging it against Bernie, increasing resentment among his base, making it more likely for Trump to get re-elected. Stay frosty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Some of the precincts have unofficially reported some stuff and if they're representative of the state as a whole, Biden will probably be in 4th or 5th place and the Biden/Sanders spread is pretty much the most important thing here IMO, so that would be good.

Ivy Zemura yvI oo ii oo Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 in case anyone's unaware, the Sanders campaign released numbers consisting of apparently 40% of all caucus results, based on the volunteers they had present who took notes. much better organized than the IDP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
