It is only the beginning of a long process, the results of which will not be known for a couple of months.

Why not let a good Democratic state le Ct go first? Good Democratic representatives and senators, voters Democratic, diverse and small enough forw the candidates.

Fuck Iowa for voting for Trump, fuck Iowa for electing Joni, fuck Iowa for electing King.

They deserve nothing.

The caucus system, however, is undemocratic and I hope they dump it like many other states have done. I don't like slamming a whole state on account of some of its voters. Obviously there are a lot of good Democrats in Iowa, some on DU, and I think you owe them an apology.

to stand up and fight for justice”.

The supporters of every Democratic candidate are standing up and fighting for justice. The self-righteous holier-than-thou attitude of some Sanders supporters is why many people won’t support Sanders.

The other reason is Sanders’ spokespersons like Nina Turner who can’t open her mouth without insulting someone. This time it was on MSNBC and she called Bloomberg an oligarch. Does she even
know how ignorant she is?
