If the Dems start in Iowa is any indication of how we’re gonna “fight” the 2020 version of GOP electoral criminals … our call to arms probably should be … “Hey, General Custer, where’d all these f**kin’ Indians come from?”
Iowa is the 2020 anchor around our neck because DNC Leaders didn’t have the guts to say to Iowa’s State Democratic Party … “You can’t be first … New Hampshire’s first … you gotta have a stand-in-line-and-vote ‘f**king primary’ just like everybody else!
“Hiram & Ethel’s barn as a caucus site is not in the picture for 2020 ‘cause we ain’t havin’ an Iowa Caucus … so get over it!”
***********************
And if we really wanted to keep Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, WikiLeaks and/or Trump’s-300-pound-Cheeto-eating-basement-dwelling-Incel-hackers away from our election(s) … we’d follow Oregon’s lead and switchover immediately to paper ballot-vote-by-mail … convenient drop boxes … rescued by a “low tech wave” instead of screwed by a “high tech disaster” … which wasn’t even “test driven.”
For cripes sake … even Elon Musk tests his “dreams” before they become realities!

Now that the Iowa electoral ox is outta the barn … everyone’s sayin’ “this caucus thing is a cute quaint tradition … but it does nothing but make it harder for people to vote.”
Duuh! Where were you 20:20 hind-sighters when way before the Hillary-Bernie- tragi-comedy-of-errors … the DNC begged caucus states to switch to a primary?
All we heard from you was wa-wa-wa … whine-whine-whine.
At least the folks who will continue with caucuses in 2020 … there are a few who insist … are NOT using the Shadow, Inc. “chip” … the one currently blamed for the Iowa debacle.
**************************
Consider these factors …
What happened to the value of a “secret ballot?” In today’s political climate of internet bullying, physical threats, property damage, wanton thugery … who looks forward to facing more public abuse when voting?
Since when was it politically smart to launch a Democratic presidential primary campaign in a state that is 91% white … and packed with Progressives? Shouldn’t we consider a launch in a state more closely resembling our party voter population?
If we’re desperately trying to increase voter turnout … why make it harder to vote? If we’re not … then just re-instate the poll tax … at least the state will rake in some more money.
****************************
And … did no one think about this?
Since Iowa was the victim of a “technical-digital-electronic-glitch” … maybe we just needed to “unplug Iowa … count to 30 … and plug Iowa back in.”
Just sayin’ …
The DNC thought about it and then realized that the Putin/GOP/NRA/300 pound Cheeto-eating, basement-dwelling incel hackers, would only accuse them of abandoning real Americans living in the fly-over states in favor of the librul elites.
Their hands were tied
