ITT people still salty that Pete won Iowa ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I'm not really a fan of Sanders, so I watched it objectively, and he was clearly shafted.
But go on with the attitude of treating important elections like highschool insult contests.
He clearly wasn't. The Buttigieg campaign focuses on turnout in areas the Sanders campaign ignored and won the contest because of the rules of the Iowa caucus, which allocate delegates to each individual precinct not based on their turnout but on their overall population. Sanders did well in highly attended precincts, Buttigieg beat him by outperforming him in less well attended precincts.
It's the way the rules were. Bernie could have employed the same strategy, but he didn't.
So you've nothing to say about the strange extended vote count and the switched coin tosses.
"switched"
Watch the videos. It's right there.
I just watched both videos and they were just normal coin tosses. What was I supposed to see there? If either person had faked the coin toss, why didn't anyone on the ground complain? The Sanders people were RIGHT THERE and accepted the result.
