Small town small minds. This can not work in larger communities . And thankfully there would be more informed and educated minds to voice their thoughts.

The whole caucus process is ludicrous. Only the people who are alpha personalities get to decide for the rest of the state. many people might feel intimidated to stand up and talk about their choice so they don't participate. So it is the extremes of the parties that decide for each caucus district and the silent majority remains SILENCED.

What a terrible process, I can only imagine how many voters want nothing to do with this.

Casting your vote for a criminal who doesn't care about you nor shares your values tells me everything I need to know about you about you.

Why dont we rotate the order of the state caucuses and primaries so that each state has a chance to go first?

[jimdeschenes]

29 People voting against their self interest. Outstanding!

I feel we should have the 1st 4 state Caucuses & Primaries (Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, & Nevada) all at once instead of 1 at a time, & we need to reduce the amount of time the Debates & Primaries take to 4 to 6 months since we don't need a full year to campaign for nominees like we did prior to the age of the internet.

What a wonderful opportunity to vote for the most un-democratic human ever!

[dawnclabo]

Amen!!! Get out and vote!!! People need to show up at polls.

After a year of campaigning, only a third of voters come together in a flawed system to determine who will represent the party’s nominee.

[NightSkeptic]

tl;dr They don't. Less than 30% of Iowa gets to dictate what all of Iowa says. It's stupid and bad. I saved you 9 minutes. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Well, if all the candidates didn't

Opinion poll:
Does Trump even need to campaign?
Does Biden?
Is this election, like 2020, as simple as Trump or Not Trump?
If that's the case, do either of them even need to campaign, put up TV ads, etc.?
Are the voters' minds made up already and nothing will sway them?

I don't understand how paper ballots can really help that much because they can be counted by a left leaning person and be counted as a vote for a dem even if it's really a vote for a repub. So how does that work?

[Mash]

Oh dear lawd… having to spend time with those people… in a small room… for hours?? Prison would be better.

[MrScaryLemonHead]

Imagine an event that is supposed to represent ALL AMERICANS… and it’s majorly white folks.

CBS with Margaret and her team lead the way with reliable information.
