Are you aware that New Hampshire decided to unilaterally put themselves first in the primary schedule based on some nonsense in their state constitution?
“The presidential primary election shall be held on the second Tuesday in March or on a date selected by the secretary of state which is 7 days or more immediately preceding the date on which any other state shall hold a similar election, whichever is earlier, of each year when a president of the United States is to be elected or the year previous,” the law says.
But last year, the Democratic Party, supported by President Biden, announced it would be changing its primary calendar to prioritize South Carolina and move up battleground states such as Michigan and Georgia. New Hampshire’s state government, controlled by Republicans, refused to comply with the DNC’s new rules and scheduled the primary for Jan. 23, leaving it first.
As a result, Mr. Biden is not appearing on the ballot, although his campaign has launched an aggressive write-in campaign. Democratic candidates participating in the unofficial primary on Tuesday will not win any delegates, so any victory will be symbolic.
As I’m somewhat a fan of democracy, I think that South Carolina is a much better first primary state than New Hampshire for the simple reason that it better represents the demographic and ideological makeup of that party.
I agree with the commenter above, you’ve inventing shit to be mad at.
Yep, ya got me bro. Nothing says “i love democracy”, or as you call it “demacracy”, like advocating for a small state which is not at all representative of the broader voting base to unilaterally put itself first in line to the nomination process. 😂
With people like you around it’s no wonder Socrates was put to death by popular vote. They also loved making shit up to get mad at back then.
The party could ultimately decide to seat New Hampshire’s delegates at the convention this summer, but as of now, none will be awarded in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
Yeah, sounds like you’re getting mad at hypotheticals. Maybe hold off on the pitchforks.
Let’s make up a scenario in our head that never existed and get pissed off about it.

I was with you until you added the ad hominem attack.
Fair. Totally fair.
That was wrong of me, I was just tired of constant bad-faith arguments over nothing.
The bad faith arguments are infuriating
