I mean we could start by voting in primary elections
Tell that to people in New Hampshire…
They voted against the party favorite twice, so they didn’t get a primary this year.
The DNC said unless the Republicans who control the state government change state law, NH isn’t going to get a primary anymore, because they want the first states to be ones that will vote how the party wants so they can call it over after a week.
The 2028 primary will be just as competitive as the 2024 primary was. It’s almost guaranteed to be trump and Harris again in the next general already
That’s very interesting! I could totally see that happening
Do you have a source you can share? Only asking since I looked up “New Hampshire Democrat primary” and didn’t immediately find anything other than primary results
The DNC said it wouldn’t count, Biden said he was pulling out since it didn’t count and took his name off the ballot, then Biden and the DNC (victory fund means the money is basically the same) spent millions for a write in campaign after he took himself off the ballot so the narrative would be “Biden still won, he’s that popular!” Even though the only other person running didn’t have millions of dollars to spend on a fight that didn’t matter. So only Biden ran ads despite taking himself off the ballot.
Here’s a good article about it:
The outcome is more symbolic than anything. The Democratic National Committee broke with tradition this year and chose South Carolina to hold its first primary of the year, on Feb. 3. But New Hampshire has a law requiring it to go first, so it went ahead with its vote anyway.
As a result of the dispute, New Hampshire’s delegates won’t be seated at the Democratic National Convention in August, and the results won’t count toward Biden’s official nomination.
The whole thing was incredibly fucked and the type of shenanigans only Republicans would usually pull
Quick edit:
Oh yeah. And this part:

The primaries are ran by the state parties, the DNC has no authority to “choose” what states go first, it’s just especially since the “victory find” nonsense, the state parties do t have a lot of power and the DNC has way more than it ever has.
But I just wanted to clarify despite how that’s phrased, the DNC has no say in when state primaties are held, which is why it’s so fucked they want to stack the deck with states who will vote for “moderates” and not NH who just kept voting for Bernie every four years…

Yeah …
I didn’t even get to that can of worms.

I doubt it. Trump is definitely showing his age and I can’t imagine him being willing to do it all again in four years
“do it all again”?
You think running for president is stressful for trump?
He goes to rallys, rambles for a couple of hours, and everyone tells him he’s great and cheers for him.
It’s probably his favorite thing he gets to do, the adoration of a crowd is what he’s always wanted, he’ll never give it up.
