    I think taking the delegates from NH because moderates keep losing to progressives is a bigger deal that will effect turnout.

    Biden’s and the DNC’s excuse that the state Dem party wasn’t able to convince the Republicans running NH into changing the law that NH has to schedule primaries first is an incredibly flimsy excuse.

    There was nothing the NH Dem party could do to comply with the DNC.

    And of all people, Biden should have been understanding that Dems can’t force Republicans to do something they don’t want to do.

    Just making the demand to begin with was incredibly fucked up.

    It was an impossible demand, and they act like it was an easy thing that the state party could somehow do with a snap of their fingers.

    The only way it could have happened, is if the Dem party broke state law.

    And a national party demanding a state party break their own laws to give the favored candidate an advantage is something I honestly thought would just be a Republican thing at least for a couple more elections cycles.
