    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.

    Welp, looks like you’re wrong…

    Edit:

    I’ll add the full context even

    Last year, the Democratic Party moved to shake up its primary calendar and allow South Carolina to hold the first primary. New Hampshire Democrats said moving the date of their primary would require a new state law and couldn’t be done in time.

    The Democratic National Committee said the state violated the party’s rules by holding its contest earlier than allowed, and thus none of the state’s delegates would be up for grabs in the election. Mr. Biden also protested the primary date and withheld his name from the ballot, so anyone who wants to vote for the commander in chief will have to do so with a write-in vote.

    Democratic candidates like Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson will be on the ballot Tuesday, but Mr. Biden is still expected to win. 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.

    In 2020, New Hampshire Democrats allotted 24 pledged delegates.

    24 delegates, thrown out because the state party (who is in charge of primaries) didn’t do what the national party asked, because that would require changing state law and there just wasn’t time for that.

    So the DNC and Biden threw a tantrum and tossed democracy out the window.

      Yeah, sounds like you’re getting mad at hypotheticals. Maybe hold off on the pitchforks.

        The pulled the delegates…

        Biden won…

        If they reinstate the delegates, that’s not better, that’s worse. Because the last two primaries the party favorite comes in last and the most progressive has won NH… Canceling it to only put it back in when the moderate party favorite wins is fucked

        Which I didn’t think needed explained, but this thread has shown me my expectations were a lot higher than they should be
