The Iowa caucuses debacle

[wsws.org]

{The events surrounding the Iowa caucuses demonstrate the bankruptcy of Sanders’ claim that it is possible to reform the Democratic Party and even turn it into a vehicle for social reform and a weapon to combat the political influence of the billionaires. The truth is that, no less than the Republican Party, the Democratic Party is a political institution of the capitalist class. There is no more chance of “reforming” the Democratic Party than of “reforming” the CIA, the Pentagon or Wall Street itself.}

I rest my case. It will be interesting to see the response of Sanders on this nights outcome. Or lack of reverberating that of 2016, and its importance in 2020. Indications this morning though Sanders won more votes Buttigieg is winning more delegates. With statements this could change. Well, that's unacceptable just as in 2016 when Clinton was constantly ahead with delegates to form public conditioning before the election process had even began. Managing perception is the tactic again to sway voters into fear voting. There's nothing democratic about it.

{His response to the attempt of the Iowa Democratic Party to rig the caucus result was notably low key. He told reporters that it was “not fair” to suggest that the procedure followed by the state party might be suspect.}

There you have it. Lay down and play the lap dog once again. Fetch boy. Go drag those voters in for us again. Good boy----pat pat pat.
