All due respect to Iowa.

This contest is NOT reflective of anything regarding the election. I’m tired of millions being spent there, candidates living there for months while my state, California, barely gets a mention from most candidates. A state that actually reflects the reality of America.

This is all noise to distract the press from the sh&t stain illegally occupying the people’s house.

Stop fighting, start organizing. If you’re not voting blue no matter who, you’re with them as far as I am concerned.

1. I agree with you

I think some of what we do is out of some notion of tradition. Sometimes traditions have outlived their usefulness.

4. And it's not even THAT traditional.

I didn't realize until last night (someone on MSNBC mentioned it; I think it was Steve Kornacki) that Iowa has only been the first caucus state since 1972.

7. Interesting. Everyone acts like it has been going on for 100's of years.

8. That's what I thought, too.

But apparently it grew out of frustration over the 1968 clusterfuck.

And Iowa is tacit consent to be ruled by the minority. But, hey, we gotta work with them, right?

6. +1 it is only the very beginning

and yet we have idiotic statements as if it's the only caucus/primary.
