The DNC is rigging the primary from the getgo, and they don't seem to care who knows it.
DNC said they wanted to wait until all returns were in before making an announcement, in order to be fair to all. Then they leaked selective precincts, withholding others, while rejecting the returns reported by any precint that sought to bypass the cell phone app. Which app was, incidentally, programmed by Buttigieg supporters.
Before the primary, the media suppressed polls showing that Bernie was the hands-down favorite. After results are in, they cite those polls to spin Bernie's big win as a disappointment because of course he had been expected to sweep the state.

all right crystal what's on your radar
well guys it was rigged what can I tell
you it's not a conspiracy
it is a simple objective statement of
fact let me explain what I mean here
after waiting nearly an entire day and
endless speeches about how it was better
to be late than wrong and a day of
chastising Sanders supporters for
doubting the fairness of a process run
by people with manifest contempt for
them the Iowa Democratic Party made the
absolutely inexplicable decision to
release a partial set of data from the
Iowa caucuses that showed 62% of the
vote totals let's listen we have said
all along that we were going to make
these caucuses the most transparent
possible this year we're reporting out
more data than we ever have reported
before and in addition to that we have
paper trails that we've never had before
and so we're gonna take the time we need
to verify these results but these
results are being based off what
happened in the precincts last night
why why in the world would you take a
mess of already historic proportions and
make it even worse sewing even more
mistrust into a process that was already
so catastrophic Li laden with mistrust
falling the dnc efforts to anoint
hillary back in 2016 as friend of the
show Matt Stoller tweeted yesterday
there is no better example a Bernie
Sanders implicit argument that everyone
in Democrat establishment politics needs
to be fired then last night let me just
say this trust is something that has to
be earned and today there is absolutely
no reason for any anti-establishment
supporter to trust that the process will
unfold fairly for them how can you
possibly look at a final Des Moines
Register poll with positive results for
birdie that gets spiked by the peek
campaign by the way followed by a caucus
in which Pete claims victory when zero
percent of the results are in that turns
into a gigantic debacle due to an app
developed by people with close ties to
be who have openly expressed contempt
for Sanders you cannot look at that
whole timeline and really expect a group
of people who are consistently smeared
and dissed by the establishment who feel
like they are getting a fair shake of
course they don't feel that way but as
if that wasn't enough as if they hadn't
done enough damage to any sense of trust
in our basic democratic institutions
which they have clearly sold to a
coalition of grifters and donors the PSD
resistance came yesterday evening I'm
not alleging a grand conspiracy here not
at all but a potent combination of media
and Democratic establishment contempt
combined with utter incompetence created
a perfect opportunity for local party
officials to cherry-pick the media
presentation of results and that is
exactly what happened again that's not
conspiracy it is just literally stating
what happened party officials decided to
release 62% of the results at 5:00 p.m.
with absolutely zero transparency about
how they pick those precincts or you
know when we might expect to get the
other 38% of the vote we did get a
little bit more over the night when's
the rest of it coming who knows
effectively erasing massive swathes of
Iowa voters not to mention the
incredibly hard
work of all of the volunteers and
organizers who put their heart and soul
into turning out every last person they
possibly could remember on election
night results roll in as they come
there's no cherry-picking there everyone
understands that results are incomplete
but this was something altogether
different this was a group of party
elites controlling which numbers the
public would get and when they would get
them with massive implications for the
media narrative which is by the way the
only thing that really matters coming
out of Iowa and sure enough every major
Network ran with it of course they did
they had no other choice you don't call
that rigging I'm not sure what it is
really now let's not forget that this is
the very same Democratic Party that has
been parading around for years now with
valid complaints about an electoral
college process that privileges rural /
urban this little gem didn't age very
well at risk of sounding a little
simplistic one thing I believe is that
in an American presidential election
person who gets the most votes ought to
be a person who wins something tells me
that all the folks who have been
relentlessly reminding us that Hillary
Clinton won the popular vote are not
going to do a similar celebration for
what appears to be a decisive popular
vote victory for Bernie Sanders or at
least for 62 percent of the results now
honestly no matter what candidate you
support you should be outraged by the
kind of incompetence and meddling that
could so tarnish the nominating process
of one America merica is two great
political parties if Russian Botts were
somehow involved you can bet that MSNBC
would be in full meltdown mode for years
to come but because it benefits one of
their anointed preferred candidates
they'll just accept it instead meanwhile
the media has decided that Iowa's
terrible for Bernie because he didn't
meet expectations just mentioned that
Bernie Sanders set expectations very
high and whatever happens it's not clear
he will have met them even if he does
eke out a lead it won't be a decisive
win in Iowa not the kind of decisive win
that I think he was looking for so I
could make the case that three
candidates underperformed expectations
Bernie Sanders who set them so high
he literally won the most votes what are
you even talking about right now but in
all of the days don't miss the fact that
bernie is in fact better position than
any other candidate right now to go the
distance he is truly the front-runner at
this point why well just take a look at
this key stat from the exit polls in
spite of all the direct attacks coming
from the health insurance industry and
many of the candidates for the
nomination on Medicare for all roughly 6
in 10 caucus goers said they supported
replacing all private health insurance
with a single government plan for
everyone this matches recent polling in
South Carolina which shows that 82% of
African Americans and voters aged 55 to
64 support Medicare for all at the same
time exit polls show that Bernie Sanders
won an astonishing 43% of voters of
color dominating the next closest
competitor among the type of voters who
will ultimately decide the Democratic
nominee Biden as of Lattin last night at
least he had not won a single majority
African American precinct in the state
which is stunning the party elites may
have to be dragged kicking and screaming
to it but the party base is making their
voice clear and ultimately they will not
be denied sauger the day before the Iowa
caucus of the day of we predicted how
the media would never give Bernie
Sanders a win here no matter what
happened now here he is like clearly I
mean one thing that looks quite clear is
that he will end up getting the most
votes we still don't have all the totals
and cetera et cetera but it was so
predictable that no matter what he did
it was that he didn't meet expectation
of win he didn't do well enough he
didn't he set the bar too high he's the
first loser somehow in the broth well
why are you undermining faith in the
democratic process crystal why you want
the Democrats to win and and this is
what I'm talking about which is that if
you open your eyes they can't win they
can't run a basic election then they
completely mishandle this entire thing
it's more than 24 hours after the votes
are cast in a tiny state with not that
many voters we do not know how many
people voted we do not know who won the
election even by their own metrics that
they have come out and we're supposed to
have faith in these people in order to
deliver a fair process I think
it's utterly and completely ridiculous
and so we like this we know these people
hate Bernie Sanders there's no secret
about and that's what drives me crazy is
the way that they attack you and many
others who are you know who are causing
doubt about this entire thing and saying
hey the implicit here's the thing most
of the time people don't consciously be
like let's screw him what they do is
they're like well we have two options
here we can wait until we have
everything or we can wait to release the
parcel results now and by the way it
doesn't hurt that it benefits another
candidate that's how it goes it's biases
all about the implicit little decisions
that compound that into something in
which everything anybody with open eyes
knows what is going on here and then
they gasp light and they say how dare
you undermine faith in the democratic
process and you're like I just want a
fair shake right all I'm asking is that
you release the results maybe all at the
same time so that we can just decipher
them you know with the full context that
they deserve instead they decided to
play this and by the way it doesn't hurt
that it hurts somebody that they don't
they don't like that's exactly right and
you just ask yourself this simple
question if it had been reversed if the
these 62 percent results I think now
we're at like 68 or 7 or so it's
everywhere there we go seventy-two
percent at this point if those results
had showed a Bernie Sanders narrow lead
would they still put out par spider
bolts yeah and see that's the thing it's
like they made a decision and this is
the part it's not a conspiracy this is
literally what happened party elites
decided we are going to put out partial
results wrote with no transparency into
why these pursuits that's just what we
have when are we getting the rest of
them none of that and it just so happens
to benefit a candidate that they happen
to like so it you know to to cast
aspersions on Sanders or yang or any
other anti-establishment supporters who
look at this process and say we don't
feel like we're getting a fair deal here
look they have every reason to be
mistrustful of these people you haven't
earned their trust and you've got a lot
more work to do I'm sorry at this you're
not crazy and neither are you if you
doubt this indeed all right Sagar
looking forward to your radar that is
next
