Few are pointing out the one unquestionable fact. Biden, long portrayed in the big CIA media as the far frontrunner, lost very big. The media and pollsters kept telling us he was the One. But when his whole record and schtick was finally fully visible to a small set of voters, and they were given a real choice, they didn't like it.
Secondly, the candidate who seemed to share the spotlight with Bernie (and permitting Bernie to continue to be squeezed out of nyt reports) is a relatively weak candidate (except among Dem uber Zionists), and his association with the malfunctioning app doesn't help. The specter of Corbyn's loss, at least partly caused by Zionists, should be our teaching moment, and certainly doesn't play to Buttigieg's advantage on the left. A large number of my liberal/left friends favored or at least liked Buttigieg previously. He seemed to be a progressive, somewhere just behind Warren, but snappier. After the first acquaintance, I was no longer fooled.
That yet another DNC screw up impacts Bernie negatively, should be a feather in his cap, showing either how much the establishment wants to defeat him, or at least how little they appreciate his success.
3rd party victory is still a far longer shot than Sanders Nomination. We shouldn't assume that Bernie could even do a 3rd party Presidential candidacy for various technical if not strategic reasons. I would certainly vote for him either as Democrat or as 3rd party, but I think it's counterproductive to start denouncing him now for not doing the 3rd party now, as it seems to me far too many leftists are already doing.
Majority of voters still identify as Democratic. If the "screw ups" continue this year might be the end of that. But it takes a long long long time for people to learn, especially against 24/7 misinformation.
The Iowa caucus should be seen as a Sanders victory, his leading opponents having been exposed as well as defeated by the actual vote count and possibly the delegate count as well.
