We are going to see 2020 election again. The republican primary is over.

    The Dems already pre-rigged the 2024 primary by moving South Carolina to front of the calendar rather than somewhere like Nevada.

      Iowa getting delisted is no joke. The national apparatus lost the ability to rig the caucus, so they had to move onto a southern state that shouldn't even have a say in federal elections because they'd still be on probation for the civil war.

      I don't understand why the primary isn't just ordered by the last 5 closest states with some weight towards EV. Put whatever the tipping point state was, first, and then go in order. So (without looking) I'd be something like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin in some semblance of that order. Who gives a fuck what South Carolina thinks. They haven't voted for a Dem in 80 years.

          Two issues:

          1. The electoral college is a thing. Getting 70% of the vote in California doesn't mean you are electable in Pennsylvania.
          2. A national election would basically be won by the candidate with the most money. Smaller initial elections allow lesser known candidates a chance.

      With how handily Bernie won Nevada I'm surprised they're even allowed in the primary anymore.
