After I ask for facts or clarification, you say I lack an understanding of basic facts.
Well done indeed.

Isn't it ironic that we have a Jew spreading the good word and people treat him this way?

So the party that was controlled by the corporate elite that has ran on and that has actually raised taxes on the rich and corporations are now the same people in the party that are actively trying to stop such things from happening?
Yeah, a conspiracy indeed/eye roll.
Its 2016 all over again!

...go on. Cite the next sentence.

For fucks sake! The definition of the words are already in a format that allows you to simply click on them and you still can't get it right!

What an embarrassment for Iowa and an unfortunate event for whoever ends up winning. If the app didn't work, then the state coordinator should be demanding that the county coordinators get an Excel spreadsheet together.
The headlines this morning should've been something like "Bernie and Pete win big, Biden stumbles." Then all day it's about analyzing and spinning the results. The headlines tomorrow morning will be about the SOTU. Here today gone tomorrow.
These campaigns didn't spend tens of millions of dollars, and dedicate tens of thousands of man hours to the state of Iowa, so the results could get buried the next evening among news stories about how shitty the Iowa caucuses are. Bloomberg's the real winner here.
Caucuses should be blasted off into the sun. Maybe they once had usefulness. We should be making voting easier, not harder. Caucuses do a poor job at measuring voters preferences. The national Democratic Party should put a 50% penalty of delegates on state parties that hold caucuses instead of primaries.

None of them want the cap on Social Security being removed. Currently, all income over $200,000 isn't taxed for Social Security purposes Bernie wants that corrected and the DNC doesn't want that.

Why?
Why? Why the F would they put that out?!
What the F does that even mean?
So Iowa, who won?
-uhhhh Sanders maybe, or Pete, but maybe Warren. Could still be Joe tho... We can say we're pretty confident it wasn't Tom Stayer. Yup. Pretty kinda sure on that one.
Oh.. great, thanks, you fuckin hicks. When will we get the rest of the results?
-uhhhh.... :shrugemoji:
Jesus Christ... I hope that cow butter statue falls over and kills all of you.

It's actually only $137,700.
The Outlook for the Social Security Cap
The Social Security cap increase for 2023 was 8.98% and it's 5.24% for 2024, but this won't be enough to keep Social Security from running out of funds by 2035.

To be fair, there are quite a few moderates who seem less interested in meaningful change and more about tweaking a few numbers in the status quo. Then Democrats all get blamed when compromise (ACA) isn't good enough to solve the problem. Then the coin flips and it is the Republican's turn. America is a hell of a mess. We need to campaign on policy that is bold enough to reach more people.

it makes perfect sense when you understand that (for some reason) we replaced a system so easy a 5 year old could understand it with one that would put the capitol of tennessee in knoxville.

Well that's easily verifiable bull shit.
Expanding Social Security | Elizabeth Warren
A generation of stagnant wages and rising costs for basics like housing, health care, education, and child care have squeezed family budgets. Millions of families have had to sacrifice saving for retirement just to make ends meet.

I used to be all for campaigning on policy but it turns out that the majority of Americans are too stupid to understand policies. What happens when people run on policy is that the less scrupulous simply distort the policy and change the narrative.

I saw that Nevada decided "Yeah, we don't want that to be us" and won't be using the app.

Before the Nov 2016 election I was looking forward to laughing at all the craziness that Trump would cause if he won and so I kinda secretly hoped he would win.
Now before the Nov 2020 election I'm looking forward to laughing at how disgusted the conservatives will be if Buttigieg wins, to see the Repubs slowly squirming in horror at his lifestyle choices, watching Repubs threatening some sort of revolt and seeing conservatives opening planning attacks against progressives for what conservatives perceive as abysmal moral behavior if Buttigieg is elected in Nov. So I kinda secretly hope he wins. Looking forward to quite a show.

What wins elections is simply who has the better message. The more simple it is the better.
