    Because NH got their panties in a twist and decided that their miniscule state needs to be first? They can go fuck off.

      Nope.

      Because there wasn’t enough time for NH to change their state law…

      DNC and Biden got so mad a state wouldn’t violate state law to help him in an election, they stripped the state of their say in who the candidate was. And it’s a total coincidence he got his ass kicked there last primary…

      But it’s cool, because he legitimately is still better than trump, and even though that difference keeps shrinking, no one is allowed to complain about Biden because trump exists…

        They had a year’s notice. The rulemaking process began last winter.

          Do you think the leaders of the state democratic party are in complete control of the laws in NH?

          I’d think of all people, Biden wouldnt expect politicians to rush into anything…

          Or anyone to ever change a politicians mind on how to vote.

            They had adequate notice. The state cannot cling to an imagined relevancy and hold a party hostage. The legislature chose not to act and therefore their constituents don’t get to participate in the Democratic Primary.

            Seems pretty straightforward to me.

              Republicans say that about all kinds of crazy rationalizations

              Most people who are against democracy feel like democracy isn’t very important as long as their team wins in fact.

              But I’ve found engaging with that type of people is rarely productive, regardless of what they consider their team.

        You’re shouting in to a screeching void, haha. These degenerate buffoons don’t care, or want, the truth and figure the down vote arrow is a sword and that it actually deters you.

          It turns out 30 years of dragging the Democratic party to the left lost us as many voters as we gained, and now a bunch of “Democrats” act a lot like Republicans and share the same morals…

          What’s crazy is if they had stayed active in the Republican party, they could have actually kept the Republicans somewhat moderate.

          Instead them leaving just concentrated the crazy, and turned 1/3 of the country away from voting.

          The only ones that won from Dems courting Republican voters was conservative extremists. Everyone else lost.
