Dems Move to Make South Carolina, Not Iowa, 1st Voting State

Once again the democrats show they are the racist part and that racism is their main political weapon. They will piss off a lot of their voters by doing this

Democrats voted Friday to remove Iowa as the leadoff state on the presidential nominating calendar and replace it with South Carolina starting in 2024, a dramatic shakeup championed by President Joe Biden to better reflect the party’s deeply diverse electorate.

The Democratic National Committee's rule-making arm made the move to strip Iowa from the position it has held for five decades after technical meltdowns sparked chaos and marred results of the state's 2020 caucus. The change also comes after a long push by some of the party's top leaders to start choosing a president in states that are less white, especially given the importance of Black voters as Democrats' most loyal electoral base.

Discussion on prioritizing diversity drew such impassioned reaction at the committee gathering in Washington that DNC chair Jaime Harrison wiped away tears as committee member Donna Brazile suggested that Democrats had spent years failing to fight for Black voters: “Do you know what it’s like to live on a dirt road? Do you know what it’s like to try to find running water that is clean?”

“Do you know what it’s like to wait and see if the storm is going to pass you by and your roof is still intact?” Brazile asked. “That’s what this is about.”

The committee approved moving South Carolina's primary to Feb. 3 and having Nevada and New Hampshire vote three days later. Georgia would go the following week and Michigan two weeks after that.

The move marks a dramatic shift from the current calendar, which has had Iowa holding the first-in-the-nation caucuses since 1972, followed by New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary since 1920. Nevada and South Carolina have gone next since the 2008 presidential election, when Democrats last did a major overhaul of their primary calendar.

The changes will still have to be approved by the full DNC in a vote likely early next year, but it will almost certainly follow the rule-making committee’s lead.

Iowa is not a representative state. It has been red. It has very few blacks and minorities. It is a caucus, not a vote. They can be ugly and confusing. The Dems have talked for years about rescheduling.

Agree. Iowa is not representative of the nation.

So you're saying leftists hate when people don't toe the line? We already knew that didn't we? The imbecile you elected told blacks they arent black if they don't support him. Thats fucked up on so many levels but you cum gobblers didn't say a word. Trump said to blacks, what have you got to lose if you vote for me, and you people lost your shit. You people are beyond retarded.

There needs to be more representation of who the Democratic Party truly is to make our primary better at pegging our voters priorities

[Concart]

So putting a more diverse state at the top of the calendar is racist? Wow, we have another fucking moron sock in our midst.

[Nordberg]

Try and make sense. There are almost no blacks in Iowa. So an Iowa caucus is not informative of how the nation is leaning. The other states that are suggesting have votes, not a caucus, and reflect the nation better. You are way off.

The bureaucratic screwup in the 2019 Iowa caucus was another death blow, and you are correct, Iowa isn’t a good sample of Democratic voters

Also have to admit that SC isn’t a State that the left wing of the party can dominate, and the one which gave Biden the candidacy, not all altruistic motives here

[evince]

Once they spoke in 2020 the party heaved a sigh of relief and voted Biden


Let’s hope Bernie never uses our party again


He screwed us a couple of times already

Agree. Iowa is not representative of the nation.

And, the neither is the Democrat party. What's your point?
