@lashman how come Sanders has two SDEs less than Buttigieg?
@InternetKevin because american election rules and laws are fucking BIZARRE
also SDEs don't mean anything, it's just "here's some maths we did" thing ... only state delegates count
@lashman but the number of national delegates is important, right?
@InternetKevin yes, those are important
@lashman I'm not American so it's more difficult for me to understand. I saw Bernie got 6000+ more votes than Buttigieg in Iowa and somehow lost by 0.1% got 12 to Pete's 14, then Bernie gets 4000+ more votes in NH but same 9 delegates. Then Kornacki, whose job is literally to explain these things, said it's all because of "incredibly complicated math".
@InternetKevin yeah, it pretty much is ... bullshit math :P
@InternetKevin don't worry, it feels like it's being made up as they go along from within the boarders too. "Math mistakes must be kept to preserve chea-*cough* integrity." @lashman
