Young, poor people there live in housing co-ops, of which the majority don't accept students, splitting up houses more ways than they have bedrooms

again, majority white, constantly patting themselves on the back about how diverse they are- then they send out emails about how important "political diversity" is which is code for "we tolerate racist right- wing rhetoric because we don't want any rich people complaining that we're a too liberal"

So they changed the rules of the Iowa caucus for the first time since 1972, AND ANNOUNCED IT IN JANUARY 2020 according to wikipedia. The changes are that smaller caucuses (so rural ones) now count for more delegates per person than larger caucuses (mostly near colleges, which Bernie did really well in), instead of just basing delegates of the popular vote. In 2016 Bernie did really well in those college caucuses, and they were 41% of the turnout. With the rules changes, they would only account for 32% of the delegates instead.
This is a blatant attempt at hurting Bernies chances and results, because it means that they are transforming Iowa into some sort of an electoral college system, instead of basing it on popular vote, which is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Democrats have been preaching since Trump won 2016 through the electoral college, even though he lost the popular vote by 3 million people. This is disgusting and needs to get called out for the election meddling it is.

The DNC changed the rules in Iowa to take power from College towns where more young people are. They knew Sanders would runaway with the young vote so this is just another way to rig the caucus. https://t.co/w4jACnKMcM
