- Protests in the 1960s, a mimeograph machine and a long-shot candidate all contributed to Iowa’s unlikely role in the presidential election process.

Lol, awwww at least you care to learn, I didn’t know what it was either and I’m an American 😅
isn't it weird that Rupert Murdoch owns The new york times that hates Trump and also owns Fox news that likes him ??? think abou that guys
Except Iowa shouldn’t matter. Whatever state was lost in the previous general election by the smallest margin should be the first primary.
Interesting suggestion
@@lukerinderknecht2982 I gotta say, I like this idea a lot. The only reason Iowa and other small States should be before larger States is so that candidates actually care and go out to smaller populations, if Iowa, NH, SC and NV didn't go first no candidate would go out to their state for their measly 3-5 delegates
Bernie was leading... then all of a sudden they had to stop sending out messages, now they are coming back saying maybe Mayor Pete is slightly ahead... are the establishment democrats cheating Bernie again?
@@ohoyohummered okay Bernie bro there's a delayed result in Iowa right now you don't know that, wait till tmo
@@BrustinNikolai .. I was watching live. Before the delay, Bernie was ahead, then they went behind doors and started giving Ami and Biden's people time to realign. then slow trickles of Pete leading started leaking. I am also not a Bro, 55year old Grandma here.
I like how they show Pete but not Bernie...the frontrunner
Of course not! That’s why Iowa doesn’t matter now lol so obvious
In all fairness, it's *still* unclear who the frontrunner is. Bernie and Buttigieg are nearly tied. They also likely made this video weeks in advance.
Stone age democracy
Hannibal Ben Barca Except we aren’t a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic, wherein we elect representatives to represent us, however in the American context of republicanism each individual state is a “representative” of the people within its borders. The United **States** of America is one country comprised of 50 semi-sovereign states each with its own unique perspectives, values, economy, and history. The Founding Fathers saw individual US states each individually which it’s own civil governments and electing representatives and electors to represent their own semi-sovereign state within our Union at the federal level. The United States of America was **never** meant to be a democracy.
Noob
@@DoveofHope2 ??? You know Republic (RES·PUBLICA the thing that is public) or Democracy (Δημοκρατία demos+kratos the people ruling) really means effectively the same, it merely depends on if you prefer Latin or Greek.
ᴅᴇᴀʀ ᴍʀ. ɪꜱᴀɪᴀʜ ᴅᴇʀɪɴɢᴇʀ; There are actually a few fundamental differences between the two in the American context historically going all the way back to the federalist papers, in which James Madison specifically lays out the differences between democracy and republic (or at the very least defined them clearly when using those terms in the American context going forward):
According to Madison, “The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic, are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater the number of citizens, and greater sphere of country, over which the latter may be extended.” In short, for Madison, democracy meant direct democracy, and republic meant representative government.
Thus, by the end of the 18th century both the idea and the practice of democracy had been profoundly transformed. Political theorists and statesmen now recognized what the Levelers had seen earlier, that the nondemocratic practice of representation could be used to make democracy practicable in the large nation-states of the modern era. Representation, in other words, was the solution to the ancient dilemma between enhancing the ability of political associations to deal with large-scale problems and preserving the opportunity of citizens to participate in government.
To some of those steeped in the older tradition, the union of representation and democracy seemed a marvelous and epochal invention. In the early 19th century the French author Destutt de Tracy, the inventor of the term idéologie (“ideology”), insisted that representation had rendered obsolete the doctrines of both Montesquieu and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, both of whom had denied that representative governments could be genuinely democratic (see below Montesquieu and Rousseau). “Representation, or representative government,” he wrote, “may be considered as a new invention, unknown in Montesquieu’s time.…**Representative democracy… (republicanism) is democracy rendered practicable for a long time and over a great extent of territory.” In 1820 the English philosopher James Mill proclaimed** “the system of representation” to be “the grand discovery of modern times” in which “the solution of all the difficulties, both speculative and practical, will perhaps be found.” One generation later Mill’s son, the philosopher John Stuart Mill, concluded in his Considerations on Representative Government (1861) that “the ideal type of a perfect government” would be both democratic and representative. Foreshadowing developments that would take place in the 20th century, the dēmos of Mill’s representative democracy included women.
@@DoveofHope2 Well you are a stone age Constitutional Republic then.... hope you are happy now with your preferred term...
After counting votes: "Actually, it doesn't matter. STOP ASKING, NOBODY'S FIRST!1!!1"
Bernie 2020
"Not me. Us."
Not you. Him. You just can't see it. Yet.
@@rosalindganymede7883 name one politician who this dosent apply
@@rosalindganymede7883 Why is that? Above all other choices do you think Bernie would not put America first? This is a guy that has stayed consistent in his Ideals since he has been a public figure. Why would he put himself first now? What is his scheme? Please elaborate for us.
@@StonedPriest No one has a good answer for that. I asked myself why Bernie, now I ask myself, why not?
I didn't care until just a year ago, great video!
Thanks for the video, NYT. I learnt a lot.
This is very instructional but given that the 2024 Caucuses are on the coldest day of the year, why couldn’t they be scheduled like on a Saturday?
Notice how warren and klobuchar are the only uncovered faces in the thumbnail lol
Love how you did not put Bloomberg in the clickbait
thanks for clarifying
4:15 is he related to Tim Apple?
82459 HWGH IOWA FOR UA-cam ONLY v1 nice
Finally I understand, thanks. Look forward to more video's.
THANK GOD SOMEONE EXPLAINED IT
Cauca what
Exactly. We learning today
Absolute classic. We appreciate that hard work and attention to detail that this story required to be told in a way that really remove the covers from this mysterious Iowa carcass lol I
It's no longer a character it makes sense now it is devoted who actually sent that motion of Mo as Bush said absolutely beautiful we appreciate the hard work.
The use of present tense throughout a story that took place during the mid-twentieth century was very confusing.
thx
Yang gang
Bernie forever
SARAH Connors inform yourself troll
That line is so great "The Democratic party charged $15 a head for people to watch the media watch the people"
A breakdown of the two parties delegates: a road map from its beginnings to what it is now, and what might mean going forward.
Why is new hampshire just as important?
I think it’s honestly momentum and press coverage. Also, it’s a bit of a swing state. If you can do well in Iowa and NH you’re taken seriously and get more coverage (unless you’re Bernie. Then they don’t know the results).
Andrew Yang!!!
“The establishment Democrats [in 1968] wanted to handle things *one way*” the one way was separate but equal facilities and generally racist policies to prevent the advancement of black folks. The parties never switched they both changed
Why is the title "82459 HWGH IOWA FOR UA-cam ONLY v1"?
Yanggang2020
7:22 "Steve Roberts: Iowa RepBUlican Party Chair" - please correct
Free healthcare at the point of service!
Healthcare as a human right!
Bernie Sanders 2020!!!
Bernie's MFA was already killed in the House by Ds. It costs too much, takes too long. Trillions in tax, thousands from Americans, with the promise if being cheaper than private insurance. Its a bandaid that shifts the burden to tax payers.
I prefer Yang's Capitation Single-payer system more. Universal Healthcare for free, so nobody needs insurance.
@@TheMoBrother yeah it was killed by corporate Dems who were payed by the healthcare industry
SARAH Connors Judging by how Warren has been acting the past few weeks, she isnt president material
82459 HWGH IOWA FOR UA-cam ONLY v1 ... what a title!
then they started flipping coins...
Hmmmm “long-shot candidate” 🤔 reminds me of ANDREW YANG!
Is that Mark Pearson @ 0:28?
YANGGANG
Let’s get rid of it.
A caucus ?
It would be. Now that switch to NH. No one now would hold the results when it comes out to be real with out truly questioning it. If Bernie Win the media would not give him the points and questions the results and if Pete or someone else win Bernie and everyone else will question the results. We should just skip and for this election focus on NH.
8:44 it persists until the state party does not report results
Cover more Yang. #YangGang We are going to shock the world tonight. Can't wait!!
I like Yang a lot. I really do. Especially after seeing him on Rogan. But he won't win and wont shock anyone. Especially not without the DNC behind him. Sucks cus I like him a lot.
People of Iowa please vote for Bernie!
@SARAH Connors Lol I htink this is the most bizarre and laughable argument I have read in a long time... Dont worry about Bernies balls, I dont think they will be in a high prominence during his term.
@SARAH Connors Oh ok, ur a troll... well I actually fell for that? lol
@SARAH Connors this is the argument that lost Hillary 2016
why so many ppl hate bernie?
I like these kinds of Vox- like videos
Iowa must move over now.
The Iowa caucuses are unfair and undemocratic, but it was interesting to see how it became so important.
Backup story because Pete is suddenly leading? Thought you had any article right before the caucus that said "Why the Iowa caucus doesn't matter"
Ezra for Senate
Democracy dies in Iowa
Bernie 2020!
Like half of the comments are "x candadite is best" or "dems/reps are bad"
Regardless, I do NOT trust the American electorate to choose wisely.
Bloomberg bought The Iowa Dem party.
Bernie 2020
How do the democratic cannidates think about nuclear energy?

Your English is fine. Here’s a guide:

For one time in history Iowa actually matter
What's a Caucasian
If our vote changed anything it would be outlawed.
Let's go Bernie!
What we would like from the NYTimes is to stop lying about Bernie Sanders. And you endorsing Lying Liz and cloubuchar or whatever was very pathetic.
They don’t. If you think any of these fools has a chance, you need to cut back on the koolaid.
It's funny. Plain comedy, and in the end irrelevant. Iowa won't be of any importance to the Nominee in November. Chain-reaction Schmain-reaction. To the Nominee in November, the citizens matter the least. It's smack-dab in the middle of ''fly over'' country after all.
Whoever wins Iowa almost always wins the nomination
Andrew yang talks
My brain: intelligent +100
Universal Basic Income, Medicare for All, Democracy Dollars. A man who understands the 21st century economy and the problems that the future holds. Not a career politician who’s only interest is his self, not a man with out of touch policies that won’t pass Congress, a man of integrity with a real diagnosis of the problems along with real solutions that will help all of us. I am voting for Andrew Yang and no one else.
X2
Andrew yang does NOT support Medicare for all, his healthcare plan is utter garbage and worse than bidens
Vote Bernie for a better future!
First..??
You must be from Iowa. Not even you are quite sure what you're doing.
The iowa caucuses are a great, amazing thing
Why because you shove Ethanol in our throats
@@johndavis8669 no because we love reminding people that we're first
Future NYT video
"Bernie Sanders wins Iowa, here's why that doesn't matter"
Your incompetent Party cant even cheat Bernie right. And you want them to run this country? Never! Iowa is a debacle! Trump 2020 and beyond.
We need Bernie for president
Bernie Sanders face is covered with logo #bernieblackoutisreal
“I’m usually not very political but I absolutely love Hillary Clinton. She’s honest, she's very smart and America would benefit from having another Clinton running the country. I stake my reputation on it“ - Jeffrey Edward Epstein 2015
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Mr. Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
If you’re gonna quote that, at least also quote what your god emperor said
