Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And it's the party's right to choose a state that isn't 93% white to hold their first primary. That's the reason they wanted to change it, so maybe a state that's more representative of the party and of POC go first.
You're also really reading a lot into my comment which is just about NH creating this clusterfuck. They could have gone second, and okay maybe Biden would've done poorly there and the delegates would actually matter. Instead the state government chose this.
Which is honestly a shame, because I'm not itching for another 4 years of aiding, abetting, or at least acquiescing to a genocide.
That's the OFFICIAL reason. The REAL reasons are
A: South Carolina is a lot more conservative, which is better for their favorite candidates such as Biden and
B: they owe conservative member of the DNC leadership/the Representative from PHRMA Jim Clyburn for almost single-handedly saving the Biden campaign with his well-timed endorsement of the most conservative candidate in the race.
... Uh huh.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the reasons I outlined above that resulted in the first black president.
I'm also sure the other five States that removed everyone from the ballot except Biden is completely unrelated.
Biden losses against Trump.
This shit of trying to excuse the Democratic party of doing everything it can to prevent Biden from having to face even the appearance of Democratic competition is the best thing to do if you want Trump to be reelected.
