Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Congrats to Biden for winning a primary in NH after it was announced the primary meant nothing and Dems in NH have no say in their candidate because their state party leaders didn't have time to change the state law that dictated when their primary was. Not to even mention, state party leaders don't make state law...
There was literally no way the NH state party could have complied with the DNC's request to move their date...
Considering his past performances in NH, this is likely the only way he was ever going to win there.

Moderates just don't do well there, which is the real reason they can't go first anymore and the DNC yanked their delegates this year.

People would be shitting bricks if the RNC did this to a state that always goes more liberal than the national party wants.
But the DNC doing it to a progressive state isn't a big deal?
Dnc is a scam look what happened to bernie popular vote is just for show super delegates can vote for whoever they want and they have a majority
I'd have loved Bernie to be in the general... ever, but it just isn't what happened and pretending it was some conspiracy just isn't healthy. The candidate you're in love with doesn't always resonate with everyone else, and that's okay.
