Motor City Sonics Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Proposed 2024 Democratic primary schedule. Feb 3 - South Carolina Feb 6 - Nevada/New Hampshire Feb 13 - Georgia Feb 27 - Michigan No more caucuses for the Democrats (too time-consuming). Iowa & New Hampshire taken out of the lead. Two states with the lowest diversity in the country and no major cities. South Carolina has far more Black voters, Nevada is a shifting to Blue state, Georgia has a huge city and by the 4th week, Michigan will be the make-or-break state for several candidates. If you haven't finished in the Top 3 by Michigan, you're done. Imagine all the Democrats kissing our asses in the future. I love this, though I wanted Colorado & Pennsylvania early. Democratic voters are city & suburb & diverse and we simply weren't getting that with IA and NH and I think that is why, quite often, the most milquetoast of candidates survived - the kind of candidates who don't really inspire much. If it was this order in 2016, Bernie Sanders probably wins the Democratic nomination and produces a much higher Democratic turnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also Biden's work. The man knows a thing or two about how to do politics correctly. This is the kind of change Obama could have gotten if he had had a better sense of party building.

I didn't understand this loyalty to Iowa & New Hampshire...........long after Democrats stopped being the party for farmers. It made no sense at all. I think they didn't want to piss off those 2 states. Grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
