No one is taking credit, but we all know which party they're part of. Where is Roger Stone?

I'm not sure if AI is going to revolutionize anything good, but it's certainly going to revolutionize election interference.

Tbh, I'm not sure what liberals could deepfake Trump that would be worse than what he actually says haha

DJT's base doesn't care. If there was video of Trump saying he'd make abortion mandatory, repeal 2A, increase taxes, and change labor laws so that only gay blacks could apply for jobs, they'd still vote for him. At this point, it's gone beyond politics, into religion. As long as liberals hate him, that's enough.

I don't think I'm being hyperbolic about this. His base has all the marks of sectarianism. The far left does, too, to a lesser degree; look at the behavior of Bernie Bros. I think the difference is that Bernie is sincere about what he works toward, whereas Trump does whatever benefits Trump, but hides it behind rhetoric that only coincidentally corresponds with his actions.

In any case, we on the precipice of a sectarian war in the US. We already see sectarian violence from the right, with several instances of conservative physical attacks on the non-believers. Sooner or later, there'll be a liberal response; the far-left is certainly capable of it, c.f. the ELF in the 90's, and although that targetted property and not people, the angry violence is there and it's not a large step to targetting people.

DNC doesn't need to even have primaries. The political parties aren't public organizations. If another candidate was more popular, they foundy still win.

Besides, NH could have had a primary if they obeyed the rules. But they wanted to stay super special important so they were disqualified.

the USA isn't really supposed to have political parties like you do now.

Washington and other "founding fathers" argued against a party system, and there are no references to parties in the Constitution or other original documents mandating how elections are conducted.

The reality is that in any other country a private organization (=a party committee) decides who is the candidate for their party, and therefore who the public can vote for

Vermin Supreme is a real person.

You're one of today's lucky 10,000!

I’m so excited that you get to learn about vermin supreme

Vermin Supreme have been in quite a few elections

There's a comma.

Vermin Supreme is a person who literally wears a boot on his head and is in politics. I don't know what his platform his, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to vote for him.

There's a guy who calls himself Vermin Supreme. He wears a boot on his head and iirc claims to be a libertarian. He runs for president every year and never comes even close to winning anywhere.

Edit: meant to say he runs for president every election. He obviously couldn't run every year.

Essentially, the DNC decided to shake up the primary season by shuffling the traditional order of primaries, and had South Carolina as the first primary in February. New Hampshire has a state law requiring them to be the first primary, so they could either break state law or defy the DNC. (Keep in mind that parties are technically private organizations, so I don't know how state law can force them to do that, but American elections are weird, and I'm Canadian.) The Republican-controlled NH government decided on defying the DNC, so although they technically held a primary, it was not sanctioned or authorized, and thus the DNC disallows contenders from appearing on the ballot, which Biden complied with. I believe the DNC has also invalidated the electors as a result, so they might not even count them at the convention.

TDLR; DNC changes primary schedule, Republican NH says "by law we go first", DNC declares NH primary unsanctioned and tells candidates to stay off the ballot.
