A write-in campaign for President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary Tuesday, after the state was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee.
Voters who wrote in Biden’s name beat out Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and self-help author Marianne Williamson, according to three news networks, with early counts of unprocessed write-in ballots outnumbering votes for Phillips by a more-than-three-to-one margin.
Seems to me that New Hampshire Democrats have two enemies in this fight, the DNC and New Hampshire Republican Legislature. They don’t have much sway over the DNC, but they do get to vote for state representatives.
Why are you pushing the narrative that Biden cancelled their primary? Parties have absolute discretion over how nominees are nominated, and New Hampshire does not have any right to claim the first primary. Why isn’t your diatribe about how Republicans are disenfranchising New Hampshire Democrats? Why are you giving them a pass?
Because concern trolling is the biggest way to get non-Republican voters to stay home. This whole “scandal” that’s been known about a year ahead of time is an easy story to push the agenda. Because most people won’t have paid attention to the years of lead up to the DNC finally making this change.
And really every other state should be pissed inconsequential ones like Iowa and New Hampshire go first. And always threaten to move themselves further forward to stay first. All states should go at the same time, or all within a couple weeks, to avoid candidates dropping out early.
But you’ll see much more of the “boo hoo DNC bad” for weeks because of the easy ability to concern troll.
I’ve been saying it for a while now,
Republicans are literally going to start hunting queer folks for sport, and the white left are going to be here lecturing us all why that means we should be spending energy being mad at the DNC about it.
Even when Biden tries to do the stuff they claim they want him to do they blame the DNC when it fails the house or senate, blame the DNC when SCOTUS strikes it down, blame the DNC for it being a day of the week ending in y.
It’s the narcissist’s prayer but for manufacturing consent to let more republican victories happen when they could easily have far more power getting what they want by just turning the fuck out more, especially in those primaries they love to fatalistically decry as rigged and “shoving moderates down their throats.”
But turning out consistently is work and they don’t want to do any work they want the world to just stop being bad and do a revolution before presenting them with a chairmanship for their hard work doing a third rate Jean-Paul Marat impression.
All of this is a big fucking problem.
