“The Democratic Party looks like America and so does this proposal,” the party chairman, Jaime Harrison, said before the plan was approved. It “elevates the backbone of our party,” he said.
That’s especially true for Michigan and Georgia, both of which voted for Republican Donald Trump in 2016 before flipping to Biden in 2020. “These things may be symbolic, but they’re realistic,” Clyburn said, noting the party’s typical revisiting of the calendar before each cycle. “This is not unusual.”
Saturday’s vote, which came during three days of DNC meetings, does not fully end the wrangling over the matter.“We have created an opportunity for other states to take a run at the pre-window,” said Scott Brennan, a rules committee member from Iowa “The DNC is set to punish us despite the fact we don’t have the ability to unilaterally change state law,” said JoAnne Dowdell, a rules committee member from New Hampshire.New Democratic rules include penalties for states that attempt to jump ahead of others, including possibly losing delegates to the party’s national convention.
I don't think it's going to happen
VRA? George Floyd policing Act? M4A? Nah? Lets let one of the poorest states in the South go first. TheDemocrats = No Tangibles Especially for black people. harrisonjaime RepJamesClyburn RepJeffries 🗑
Now Dems need to follow up with a grassroots voter registration drive in NC - starting now. dccc We wouldn't have Senator Warnock without years of hard work by Stacy Abrams team.
Oh that's cute calling it diversity. It's actually quite racist. The DNC knows they can easily hoodwink the voters with stories of Corn Pop and Hairy Legs. Iowa, your usefulness of being conned with corn subsidies is over.
susaneisenberg1 Or you could just hold the primaries everywhere on the same day like a normal country but america ain't ready for that
SC is a red state and 'other minority' voters vote Republican. Making SC the first primary state is supposed to do what for Black people? Tangibles are the goal not more empty symbolism. I hope 'the base' will wake up this time around.
A President of, by, and for the people
Grifters = Democrat Politicians
Finally!
And piss off white blue collar & rural voters in the Midwest - that we were already hemorrhaging en masse to the GOP - once and for all. Brilliant strategy..
That’s not gonna help the DemocRATS🤡
so they’re going to primary joe biden?
Not another word about gerrymandering outta anybody in the Democratic Party ever fucking again.
Let get the the John Lewis VRA passed too!!!! Call Congress 1-888-453-3211
Well, Iowa certainly doesn’t look like America!
South Carolina hasn’t voted for a Democrat for president since 1976. There are a lot of diverse swing states, and this should have gone to one of them.
Politidope Excellent
Politidope Or maybe have primaries that look more like The US than Iowa and New Hampshire
bannerite Done w/Iowa 1. ‘Bout time!
Clever tactic by right wing dems to cement their power, conservator democrats should pick the nominee every time. 🤫
Here's an idea. Why not have all primaries on the same day ?
Empowering black voters who contribute the least to society in terms of tax $ and rewarding them for being tax leeches. They are being rewarded for disproportionately utilizing resources beyond their contribution. The new Democratic party
No it was meant to undercut any potential Biden/Harris opposition. Now that they’ve done it once, I expect the DNC to reorder the Primary schedule frequently over the several cycles.
Good. Coddling a state of mostly white people who live in their own isolated little world and elect Republican senators a Republican Governor and btw, voted for Trump a second time 53-45%. So in all honesty, F Iowa. You are waste of time.
Great idea. More likely to pick the most radical candidate to lose the general election.
Good. Now Start playing dirty like the republicans
Sorry Iowa you’re just not black and diversified enough. This from the party have led by senile old white man.
Do South Carolina voters like this move?
Dems4Rights
Good and I say that as an Iowan.
👏👏👏 ✌️🇬🇧
Clyburn(S.C.) and Harrison are traditional Corporacrats. Just slightly better than Sinema and Manchin. These are the same leaders that lost the house, 3 months ago. The same that don't invest in Florida or progressives.
yeah replace a winnable swing state by a red state . Joe trying to repay clayburn and South carolina Democrats for saving him in the primaries
Doesn’t really make sense to me. Shouldn’t swing states with cheap media markets be the first states to do it? Iowa, NH, and Nevada should be the first 3 states.
Why would they feel empowered by that when the Democratic Party harms those groups so much with their legislation, etc..? 🤔
Love it!
Glad to see it.
Iowa is a MAGA wasteland.
Really?
Great move!!
StarshipJudy North Carolina, Georgia, or Nevada would have been so much better, but party machine gonna party machine
Massachusetts should be First.
