US Politics, Bernie 

Bernie won Iowa in a landslide and is leading every poll.

Every corporate owned media outlet is so terrified of him they've blacklisted him from all positive media coverage.

HOW POWERFUL CAN ONE MAN BE? :blob_aww:

He won the popular vote in Iowa by a landslide, I meant to say.

Pete Buttigieg received 13 delegates.

Bernie Sanders had 6,117 more votes than Buttigieg. He received 12 delegates.

Warren had only 5,000 votes fewer than Buttigieg. She received 8 delegates.

My conclusion: either the state of Iowa's caucus system is as broken as our electoral college, or a LOT of people are trying very hard to keep Bernie out of the white house.

@mawr Causcus are weird as fuck. No conspiracy there. They don't really meaningfully have a popular vote even (what are people counting? first alignment? Final?)
