[Hlaziya, 2/4/2019: Ewe, ayizange ihambe njengoko bekucwangcisiwe. Isikhokelo sethu sokuba yintoni icaucus, kwabo bazibuza ukuba kuhambe gwenxa phi.]
Emva kwento evakala ngathi sisiqingatha seminyaka yokukhankasa, iiDemokhrasi eIowa ziya kuqala inkqubo eyiyo yokukhetha umgqatswa wonyulo lweqela. Kodwa yintoni kanye kanye are Iikhokhasi ze-Iowa? Kwaye kutheni eli lizwe lincinci, eliphakathi eMelika lithetha kakhulu ukuba ngubani onokukhokela ilizwe?
Ngokwenene ngumthetho e-Iowa ukuba babambe ikhokhasi yabo phambi kwayo nayiphi na enye iprayimari okanye i-caucus kwisizwe, ukuze basoloko bengabokuqala kwaye ke ngenxa yoko babe nempembelelo ebanzi kulwalathiso kunye nomfutho wenkqubo yokutyumba. Oku kuyakhathaza ngenxa yezizathu ezininzi, hayi esona sincinci kukuba amaxabiso kunye nokwenza ubuhlanga e-Iowa akusondelanga kubameli belizwe liphela.
Kodwa sinamathele kulo mkhwa. Ke isebenza njani? Iikhokhasi ze-Iowa ayizizo iiprayimari zikamongameli, ngengqondo yokuba abantu abayi nje kwindawo zokuvota kwaye bavote. Baye-ngokothusayo-ngakumbi nangakumbi kwaye badidekile kunenkqubo yesiqhelo yokuvota.
I-Caucuses zifuna i-Iowans ukuba ziqokelelene ndawonye kwiindawo ezithile kwi-1,679 precinct ejikeleze ilizwe (kunye neendawo ezintathu zesathelayithi), kwaye ukusuka apho, kuya kuba mnandi ngokwenene. I-Caucusers (ndicinga ukuba lelo lixesha elichanekileyo, ngaphandle koqhanqalazo lokupela) kwindawo nganye ngokoqobo, kulungile, ikhokhasi , Oko kuthetha ukuba baqokelela ngokwamaqela amancinci ngokusekwe kumgqatswa abazikhethele wona.
Ke, oku kuthetha ukuba abantu baseWarren baya kubuthana kwikona enye, abantu baseSanders kwenye indawo, kunye nabaxhasi beBiden kwenye indawo, njalo njalo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba akukho milo izakuqhambuka.
Umgqatswa kufuneka afumane ubuncinci i-15% yababekho kwi-caucus ukuze baphumelele. Oko kuthetha ukuba, umzekelo, ukuba kukho abantu abali-100 bebonke kwi-precinct, kwaye ngabantu aba-4 kuphela abaya kwi-caucus ka-Andrew Yang, emva komjikelo wokuqala, abo bantu kufuneka bazimanye nabazimase iqela elisebenzayo, benze into entsha esebenzayo iqela elinabantu abazimase ukhetho lwabo lokuqala belungaphili, okanye bayeke ngokupheleleyo. Kulo nyaka, iikhokhokhasi ezizinikele kubagqatswa abanokubakho kumjikelo wokuqala zinamathele apho kwaye azinakho ukuphinda zizincome kwenye indawo.
Inani labathunywa elinikwe umgqatswa ngamnye, ke, limiselwa yifomula yemathematics esekwe ekubeni bangaphi na abantu abakhoyo kumgqatswa ngamnye ofanelekileyo. (Nangona eyona nkqubo yokufumana iziphumo ze caucus iye kwiNdibano yeDemokhrasi yeSizwe kubathunywa ibandakanya eminye imijikelo yabathunywa kunye neenkomfa eziphakathi, ngokulandelelana kwityathanga kwiziphumo zecaucus.) Wowu!
Ke, njengakwinqanaba lokuqala ledemokhrasi, i-Iowa ayisiyombuso-ophumeleleyo. Esona siphumo sinokubakho ngokuhlwanje kukuba, ngelixa umgqatswa omnye eya kufumana uninzi lwabathunywa, abaviwa abathathu ukuya kwabane bayakushiya i-Iowa nabathunywa kwikholamu yabo njengoko indlela ende eya kwindibano yeDemokhrasi iqala.
Ngo-2016, uHillary Clinton watyibilika e-Iowa kunye nabathunywa abangama-23 xa kuthelekiswa noBernie Sanders oneminyaka engama-21 kulo nyaka, kukho abathunywa abangama-41 abazokuphanga, kunye nabathunywa abaphezulu abasi-8. Siza kungena ekubeni abaphathi abaphambili bangabaluleki kwaphela kwinkqubo yokutyumba kamva, kodwa i-DNC iyitshintshile imigaqo kubo ukuze (ngethemba) bangabinakuba sisigqibo kwisigqibo.
Ke. Yile ndlela icookie izakuqhekeka ngayo, kwaye asiqinisekanga ukuba izakuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuze iziphumo zingene [ Umhleli. Qaphela-sisalindile ], unikwe ukuba baninzi kakhulu abagqatswa kwimbambano. I-Iowa Democrats ilungiselela ukuphuma kwerekhodi, ngokuhambelana ne-2008 irekhodi lama-240,000. Kolu khuphiswano, u-Barack Obama uphumelele abathunywa abali-16, u-Hillary Clinton uphumelele i-15, kunye no-John Edwards (oof, uyamkhumbula?) Waphumelela u-14.
Akukho mntu wathi idemokhrasi yayilula, ndiyaqikelela.
