HOW DOES A CAUCUS WORK

We always hear about Republicans suppressing the vote.   But, in the Iowa primary the Democrat caucus system represses the vote like a Republicans wet dream.

At seven p.m. you are suppose to show up to support your candidate.  There are speeches, then caucus goers separate and join their candidate group.   Any candidate with less than 15% attendance is eliminated and that candidate's supporters must join another candidate's group.   There is kibitzing, begging and encouragement back an fourth between groups trying to encourage candidates from the eliminated group or undecided group to join their group.

Finally a count is taken and delegates are awarded.  The delegates are selected from the caucus attendees. 

What bullshit.   Why not 'one person one vote' at a voting center?   

This type of system is attended and relished by the WOKE community that gets off on public activism and being a part of a movement.  This system is difficult for old people that would just like to cast their vote and not have to join a party's party.    It is also difficult for single mothers, families with young children, people working shift hours and discouraging for people who don't like being a part of public spectacles.  

Last presidential election only 16% of possible Iowa Democrat voters showed up to caucus; which means only one out of every six registered Democrats decided the outcome for the mass majority.  










And then we have the Electoral College.
