Yang should propose to give Americans 12 thousand dollars and then send them far enough back in time that they can live like kings off it for a year
This has the added bonus of ridding us of the Yang Gang. Win-win imo

Bernie wins the first caucus in the state.
Bernie Sanders wins the first votes of the primary — including Ethiopian immigrants who work the night shift at the local pork processing plant — in a county that went for Obama twice & flipped to Trump in 2016.We’re gonna win.

Going into tonight, a reminder to everyone that polls show a very close racefeel like bernie folks like me might letting themselves get too dizzy-confidentin almost any given poll each of Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg (!) and often Warren are within the margin of error to winthere are 3 legit ways to count the results, so someone other than Sanders is likely to win some if not all
also however, from montreal:go bernie

sorry, treesh, but the working class is as polarized as the rest of the country. that's where the majority of the anti-immigrant sentiment is coming from. the bosses aren't anti-immigrant, but they are happy to ride that pony, if it gets their stooges into places of power and working for them.

Oh, I guess they're holding out.
The Tbilisi caucus was conducted successfully, over a traditional Iowan meal of pizza and ranch dressing – accompanied by Georgian wine. The results will be reported along with the rest of the results after the caucuses in Iowa take place. pic.twitter.com/SraYlfxAUq— Joshua Kucera (@joshuakucera) February 3, 2020

Mordy, I'd love to be able to royally ignore US politics but your country has a record of preventing that, so don't be so harsh on non-American posters itt, irritating though our presence may be.

Bernie's not the favorite in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or New York.

I mean, I definitely hope that after tonight's results come in he becomes the favorite in those states!

I don't think it should be underestimated that Sanders built campaign organizations in all the early states just four years ago, while all the other candidates have had to start from scratch and compete for the activists and volunteers who weren't already emotionally committed to Bernie.
The remnants of Hillary's 2016 campaign do not have any single clear alternative among the 2020 candidates to whom they might shift their allegiance en masse. The HRC coalition seems like it will fragment and be widely dispersed in the early going. That's what has the DNC/establishment/old school centrist types so worried rn. They hoped Biden would blow away the field of moderate-voter-seeking centrists and coalesce the HRC voters. It hasn't happened, yet. The next two months look to be an increasingly fierce dog fight.

It's also just a fact that nobody has put more campaigning power into the hands of volunteers than the Sanders campaign.
Not to suzy but dozens of my pals & associates from the Momentum training institute, who were Bernie fans in 2016 & spent the last 4 years doing decentralized volunteer-driven issue organizing in Sunrise, Cosecha, IfNotNow and Dissenters, have jumped on board as Bernie staff. Their issue-based work was drawing on lessons of Obama '08 and Sanders '16, but now they're also baking in all the tech, tools, and organizing lessons of their last 3 years of work. Grain of salt here given that I'm talking about colleagues, but I really think all this makes Bernie's the most cutting edge campaign in the race.

None of the polling actually matters yet is the funny thing bc if his campaign identifies and turns out its voters effectively it’s gonna look a lot different from the polls— Evan (@silby) December 10, 2019

https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/iowa-caucus-2020-election-live/254963/
A tweet made the rounds that night purporting to give the poll’s results, and after doing some reporting around this, FiveThirtyEight can confirm that it contains the correct final findings of the unreleased Iowa poll: Sanders 22 percent, Warren 18 percent, Buttigieg 16 percent, Biden 13 percent. Imagine the news cycle that would have been, with national front-runner Biden making such a poor showing in the last, highest-profile poll before the caucuses.
