I’m more than willing to believe it started as an earnest attempt at a ratfuck and in traditional Democratic Party style cascaded into layers of incompetency and grift.

I am willing to believe crazy conspiracy theories about election tampering by Buttigieg based on the crazy conspiracy theories of him being a CIA spook.

It's one of their core "competencies" and given the kind of news about the IC (American and otherwise) we've heard since 2016, we should expect their heavy involvement in this election cycle.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The senate proceedings the past few weeks inform my attitude. An event doesn't have to he interpreted through a lens of collective reality or even have happened in one to matter. The real criminals in the Ukraine affair were Vice President Biden and his cool stripper banging son, and the real winner in Iowa last night was President Trump with an assist from Mayor Buttigieg.

Mayor Pete gets his campaign security from Patriot Group and is the personal favorite of leadership in the company that made Votr or whatever. He once took a vacation, for 24 hours, to Somaliland, where he met with local officials and then published a call for increased involvement in democracy in the region.

I made my comments half joking, and I am legit crazy irl, but Pete Buttigieg up to no good and you can't change my mind

If Pete were CIA do you think he'd be able to not tell everyone all the time that he was CIA?

I wasn't particularly fond of him already due to his corporate stooge and resume builder qualities, but this latest poo poo is really weaselly.

Pete has clarified now that he wasn’t declaring himself the winner but rather that his victory proclamation was just that they beat the polls and he got second instead of third.

Yeah sure, gently caress him. In the age of near instant communication it took many hours to clear that up.

The really funny thing is that even if loving up the results was some kind of CIA op by Pete, it backfired spectacularly. Placing second in Iowa could have given a much-needed momentum bump to help carry him through the next three contests where he's going to get utterly shellacked, before limping forward to a Super Tuesday where he's very likely to get utterly blown out and needs all the help he can get. Now, the news is entirely about the app loving up, and when people are talking about Pete it's in the context of either A) his spectacularly shady connections to the company that made said app, and B) embarrassing himself by declaring victory with zero results.

imo, his goose is cooked.

This is how the caucus system works. It's stupid. Pete got 3 votes and the fourth was distributed according to coinflip because the other two tied.

The precinct has 8 total delegates, but rounding each result to the nearest whole only got them a total 7, so the extra delegate goes to the one who has the highest decimal portion below .5 (because otherwise it would've already been rounded up) - So if for example Warren had 2.4, the extra delegate would have gone to her.

Or that. Sorry, I thought it was a coinflip situation. Caucuses are stupid regardless, but yeah everyone flipping out over that photo doesn't understand just how dumb the system is.
