Okay, I'm gonna raise the red flag now, I have a bad feeling about this caucus. There have been rumors swirling since Iowa that the Nevada caucus is headed for a similar meltdown, and it's starting to look like the Nevada Democratic Party is preparing for just that sort of scenario. If recent polls are remotely correct, the margin for Sanders should have him as a decisive winner with an unpredictable mess for second. Even if there's a meltdown, that shouldn't change, but this could still be really, really ugly. I don't want to buy into the conspiracy theories, because they're just that, but damn, these caucuses never seemed to have a problem before, and suddenly no one can do them right.

The conspiracy theories aren't just that. The DNC has its thumbs on the scale and are very blatant with it this time around. They've had early voting where in predominately latino and black communities they don't instruct them to sign their sheets which would make them void, and instead of releasing where it happened, and who it happened with, they instead gave the campaigns the list....

Honestly I'm surprised people still have faith in the system after 2016 and the DNC being exposed. (They got sued and argued that the DNC is a private organization and can choose their candidate in a smoke filled back room if they wanted to, yes this was the defense they "won" with)

Yes, I'm aware of that, all of it. Yet Trump won despite his establishment not liking him. He overcame the system with popular support. We can do so too. Even if Bernie is the only one that thinks the winner should be the person with more votes (shame on you Warren...), there comes a point where you can overwhelm the system, and Bernie has pretty explicitly said this is his plan. It's also his plan for the general to beat any interference from Republicans. We're corrupt, but we're not North Korea corrupt, or even Russia levels of corrupt yet. That's why this election matters so much. That's why we can't afford to give up, lose faith, or despair. Bernie had said as much that we can't afford that, and we should listen.
