The DNC tries to sabotage the primary by ordering candidates not to participate. Meanwhile, Dem surrogates and SuperPACs spend millions campaigning for "write-in Biden" -- in violation of the DNC's own decree!
New Hampshire this year is only the tip of the iceberg for the Democrats’ new approach to the primary calendar. The new rules include a provision for reviewing the early state window ahead of every presidential election cycle. A DNC Rules and Bylaws committee member who requested anonymity said it makes “sense” to revisit the calendar as the presidential map evolves, so key swing states can go early and receive more attention.
Still, the committee member acknowledged that review could lead to conflict — particularly if presidential candidates and their loyalists are lobbying for favorable schedules. The member suggested the committee should consider “moving the timetable up” for setting the calendar, and having their meetings at least a year earlier than in the past to avoid the heat of a campaign.

There is no honor nor shame. They do not care about our piddly laws or courts. They are literally doing everything they can to remain in power. The veil is coming off.

Voter suppression, counting votes on the floor at Iowa caucuses, Dems temporarily registering as "undeclared"
to vote for a Republican candidate who's funded by Dems, to skirt the dysfunctional election system, calling races prior to voting, arresting opposition and censoring the once Free Press.
It's a much longer list of troubling election processes.

As if Democrats would vote for someone other than Biden, when was the last modern Democratic primary when another candidate replaced the incumbent on the ballot (not counting LBJ of course who decided not to run?)

Corrupt, sort of like everything else the Democrat party places its boney hands on? Why am I not surprised. This should be shocking, but it isn't.
@9CJ6CB65mos5MO
whats corrupt is backing a candidate in the Republican Party who intentionally ignored the debates, coasted past every news outlet that doesn’t literally worship him, and still be considered a viable and democratic alternative to Joe Biden. He’s just the same, if not worse.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution5mos5MO
Why should Donald J. Trump have participated in the debates when he was fifty or sixty points ahead of everyone? He had nothing to gain and everything to lose. That's called political strategy, and it's not inherently wrong but a wise decision on his part that obviously worked. He doesn't coast past news outlets that don't worship, he holds new outlets accountable that spew lies & propaganda.
@9CJ6CB65mos5MO
When you have 91 criminal charges to your name, and you intentionally keep your plans vague, that’s not a smart move, that’s being afraid to face your problems. In order to gain support, you need to be there as a candidate. That’s just an ethical idea, not to mention, DeSantis and Nikki had a chance against him, they qualified for the debates, and he owes it to the American people to actually show up to talk about his plans and say why the other candidates shouldn’t be voted on.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution5mos5MO
Kind of similar to how Biden didn't have the guts to debate RFK? Does that ring a bell to you? Using this debate thing as an argument against Trump and for Biden doesn't work when both did the same exact thing. PS, if you need to debate to gain support, why does Trump have the most support of any GOP candidate? Obviously that's blatantly false...
