Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
So basically those caucuses discriminate against older people
Or with disabilities. They just show that gymnasium where you have to run up and down the stairs each time you realign. How do they expect older people to do that for hours at end ?
it's just an exercise in loud mouthing, gesticulating and bullying.

Just another in the string of indictments against this undemocratic and exclusionary process.

(83,855 posts)8. Warren campaign to offer free child-care during Iowa caucuses
Volunteers for Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) Democratic presidential campaign will offer free child-care on Monday night during the Iowa caucuses, the campaign confirmed Monday.
snip
The Warren volunteer sign-up sheet asks questions including the age of children, their typical bedtime and dietary restrictions, according to CNN which first reported the child care effort. It also reportedly asks if parents are okay with a child watching a movie rated G or PG.

(36,327 posts)7. Biden and other candidates should've boycotted Iowa. But they didn't.
One has to wonder why any candidate would willingly spend so much time, money and other resources engaging in a practice that is so blatantly discriminatory. What kind of message does that send?
