1. Stop it with this conspiracy theory bullshit.

[denem]

2. Oh man (as Joe would say)

it’s a joke!

[tiredtoo]

7. Some folks here don't like jokes for some unknown reason. EOM

[garybeck]

24. maybe it was intended to be a joke but

to me, attacks on our democracy from a foreign government are a real thing and not a joke at all.

[lapfog_1]

4. come on now... that was funny.

you can't be taking this Iowa Caucus thing seriously.

198 voters in this place milling around trying to decide where to stand.

1002 over here.

Good god... this is not even news. I mean we had 66 MILLION people voting for Hillary in 2016... and we are supposed to draw conclusions about the primary race from, what, 100,000 people in Iowa?

[highplainsdem]

25. It's obviously a joke.

[elleng]

3. More like Iowa Dem Party did it to themselves,

tried to get 'fancy,' and do 3 new calculations tonight.

[Tweedy]

21. It was a rule change for transparency and fair play

Wish the kinks had been worked out; although, it is patently obvious that is not as easy as it sounds.

These days it is hard not to love the Democratic Party. Even its screw ups happen because it wants voting to be fair and transparent.

And the original post is 🤣

[Maru Kitteh]

5. LOL. What a clusterfuck. They had ONE JOB.

The Iowa caucus is a damn joke and a perversion of democracy.

[denem]

6. OK - let me be charitable,

the ACA Exchanges crashed multiple times when they first went live.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. And how many caucuses has Iowa held?

[RhodeIslandOne]

9. Only one since the Russians decided to fuck America.

[AllyCat]

10. Right on.

[calimary]

17. Gotta admit, that was my first thought. Russia.

[mountain grammy]

19. Bingo!

[Lancero]

23. Using this new system? One.

Would have been nice if they could have did a dry-run with everything a week ago sure, but inexperience doesn't always equal incompetence.

[Tweedy]

22. Caucuses important in history of democracy

Or so my Grammy told me.

She was a republican, although that party was different in her day.

Standing next to your neighbors and casting your votes with your feet ensures everybody knows the vote was fairly cast.

That is true today.

It is up to democrats in Iowa how they pick their delegates to the convention. Since i could not design an app like this to ever function, no stones shall I throw from my glass house 😉

Have faith in the wisdom of all of U.S.

[Normanart]

11. Good one

I laughed so hard! My wife thought I was choking!

[denem]

13. Man, yw

I got alerted on this. Me and them don't have the same kinda funny!

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, Normanart!

I must say, listening to a slew of speeches from the candidates who did not know how they did because of this snafu, I could vote for ANY of 'em.

[SunSeeker]

12. LOL

[Aussie105]

14. Iowa had one job!

To wit: count some votes.

So what does that tell you about the Big Vote coming up?

Incompetency in Iowa or external influences? Time will tell!

[JoeOtterbein]

15. BAM!

Thanks for the post!

[Midnight Writer]

16. That's good. Made me laugh out loud.

[Don1]

20. Great prank.

That was funny.

But now it has me thinking...

[LakeArenal]

27. Geez. I vote joke.

Also, some people not only don’t have a sense of humor, they proclaim it judgmentally.
