The second round of voting in Iowa was undemocratic and corrupt, as this example of vote-padding plainly demonstrates: Just go with the first round totals and be done with it; there's no other way to fix it
You can't keep voting until they say that you got it right and still call it democracy. Bernie won the first round decisively.
Missing full-time jobs in January 2020: 6.3 million
Previous peak for average full-time as a percentage of population: 2006
Percentage @ peak: 52.3%
Percentage in Jan 2020: 49.85%
Full-time in Jan 2020: 129.379 million
Full-time in Jan 2020 @ 52.3% of 259.502 million: 135.719 million
Missing full-time: 6.34 million
Bernie was the overwhelming first choice in the Iowa Democrat Caucus, and that's all that matters
In the second round, Biden bled out 2,693 votes, Klobuchar 1,288 votes, Yang a whopping 7,041 votes, and Steyer 2,670 votes. All of that is simply rearranging the deck chairs on their Titanic candidacies.
Bernie picked up just 2,155 of these 13,692 "anybody but Bernie" votes, but still he came out on top.
Case closed.
Bernie was right in 2015 and it's even worse now: Real wages of men are lower than they were 45 years ago, a fiasco
The median earnings of men working full time year-round in 2018 ticked up to $55,291. Adjusted for inflation, this was below the amount they earned in 1973, according to the annual data trove released by the Census Bureau today. In other words, there has been a “real” income decline for men over the past four-plus decades! ... [M]en’s real earnings are a fiasco.
LOL: Donald Trump's crackpot 35% unemployment in February 2016 is 37% today
Jeffrey Snider:
In February of 2016, then-candidate Trump deployed his typical
grandiose, exaggerated style after his win in the New Hampshire primary.
“Don't believe those phony numbers when
you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number's probably 28, 29,
as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent.
[T]he once fake unemployment rate has become his primary campaign symbol.

Big Fat Idiot Rush Limbaugh 2/5/2016:
We have an audio sound bite here from Obama ... He was heralding first-time unemployment rate as being under 5% for the first time in seven years ... Well, there’s a reason he said it. It’s because it’s the only way you
can ignore the 94 million Americans not working, not in the labor force ... This is an abject joke. It’s a total joke.
