People don't talk about this point often, but 2020 was the first year ever where the Iowa caucus vote counts were public and it became apparent to everyone within minutes after the polls closed what a rigged shit show it was. It probably killed the Iowa caucus forever.
Anyone who doesn't believe it was always like this is a fool. Remember how Bernie lost finishing within a fraction of a percent of Hillary Clinton's SDE count in the 2016 Iowa caucus? I'll bet anything he actually had more votes than her and it was the same type of shit as his "loss" to mayo pete.
Bernie had a ton more momentum in 2016 and it was just him and Hillary. Had he won Iowa, he would have won the primary as he caught them off guard with the unexpected popularity of his campaign. They had no tricks to pull after Iowa. That makes me think they must've rapidly pulled out all the stops to end his campaign right then and there. But thanks to the obfuscated vote counts, we will never know for sure.
Loooots of voter restriction shit. Polling places closing early or only have a few Stands in progressive snd minority areas. Entire college towns only having one polling station while suburbs had multiple sites.
It was a blatant steal job
Shit like Michigan State (a school of a little over 50,000) having ONE polling station with a 6 hour wait and most teachers saying they wouldn’t accept waiting in line as an excuse for missing class will haunt me forever.
I know many friends who did. Ferndale was a disaster as well. The only progressive area in metro Detroit that didn’t have a shortage of stations was Hamtramck and I guarantee that was simply because the DNC pushing so hard to kick Rashida out.
who wants to pay attention to this shit after they blatantly showed how rigged it was in 2016 and 2020

There’s a reason why electronic voting machines exist.
