Iowa is less than 1% of the population of the United States yet has two universities in top 50. In other words, we punch above our weight.
In politics, Iowa has the privilege of going first. Bottom line? Unless a candidate finishes in the Top 3 in Iowa, their chance of getting their party's nomination is dead. The one notable exception is Joe Biden who came in 5th in 2020.
In 2020 172k Iowa Democrats caucused. Me? I flew home to support Pete Buttigieg.
On January 15, 2024, we Iowa Democrats can still play a role but this time? This time let's help the Republicans by supporting someone on their side who is sane.
What does that mean?
1. Accept that the 2020 election was fair.
2. Support democracy.
3. Support the rule of law.
In 2016 John Kasich would have been the right candidate for our side to have supported in the caucus. We have yet to see who will be the John Kasich of 2024 but... but the clock is ticking and we Iowa Democrats must pay attention.
