I think you overestimate how much voters care about the primary and underestimate how much they care about actual policy. Case in point, the Republicans straight up canceled a bunch of their primaries going into 2020 and voters did not punish them for that.

If Biden is running again, he's the de facto nominee and Democratic primary turn out would be low regardless. If he opts not to run, then maybe this has a small impact. Furthermore, the primary really only impact Democratic voters or Democratic leaning independents, not potential swing voters who don't vote in the primary anyways.

Regardless, whatever small spat happens over the primary will largely be forgotten by the general election. It's actually better to pull off this band-aid now with a sitting Democratic President running for a second term rather than later when the primary actually matters.

May have been unclear, I think we made a mistake going soft on the south and that mistake has been with us ever since. Before the civil war we knew how to handle a traitor.

And yet the weapons were not even in DC. They were in Virginia. Doesn't seem to me if they wanted an insurrection, they would leave them behind. And let's be real, if the police or federal agents had started shooting, all of DC would have been in immediate lockdown. Those guns would never have made it into DC. Use your free thinking brain.

I'd love to know how much the FBI spent to go after people like this, whom they could only charge with what amounts to trespassing. Meanwhile, the politicians themselves are frequently involved in illegal shit and the FBI tends to be completely useless in those cases.

Good. Byeeeeeeeee. See you in 56 months, hope no one needs you at home!

Also use T Mobile, live in Dover and work in Exeter, never had any issues along 16, 95, or 101. Some areas in between like Lee and Nottingham get spotty with reception but it’s been much better for me overall than Verizon was.

They have poisonous shit to bite your ankles in those places.

Though the boots could be useful for the stray needles in Hudson.

I’m not home now, but I think it was about 38k all in before government rebates for a 10kw system.

> This was going to happen sooner or later.

Maybe so. But if that’s the case, they could have gone about it in good-faith. If they were intending to move NH to Super Tuesday, then just say that; just have that be the initial proposal. And if you are going to pick a state that is more racially diverse, pick one that makes sense in the larger scheme of things rather than the one that looks an awful lot like a political kickback to a state that helped propel the current president to the WH. Pick one that is purple or reliably democratic. One that is more religiously diverse and better represents the country and Dem voters on that front.

And I don’t think everyone in the DNC is being vindictive (I certainly think some are), I just think they are needlessly picking a fight that they cannot win. And one that isn’t going to help them with purple voters who have currently sent an all-blue delegation to Washington. And it’s one that hands the GOP a lot of assets that I’m sure they are thrilled to have.

> I also don't really care what happens with RNC.

Nor do Republicans about the DNC. It’s why the DNC will be the ones people blame (to the extent people blame anyone) if they choose to disenfranchise NH voters.

If you don't think January 6 was a violent insurrection then you're an idiot beyond redemption. No amount of blatantly obvious evidence would ever convince your misfiring neurons.

Um yea

That sounds like hard projection to me.

Literally only group that considers anybody their "god emperor" are Trumpists. It's just like calling the rest of us "sheep". More projection.

Perhaps a little reflection is in order.

Internet tough guy.

They know it's nothing. No police officer in America believes weed is any worse than alcohol. They just enjoy having an easy way to skirt around the 4th ammendment.

Do you have a verified link about this?

Hello fellow old person, you forgot to mention Caldor.

My specific wording was "Antifa/FBI/CIA". IE, "whatever".

IE, simply saying that they were people who were not part of the general milling assemblage of MAGA protesters.

IE, the instigators.

You latched on to only one word out of those three.

That says more about you. I SEEEEEE YOUUUU. :-D

This is 1000% nothing but a bullshit political stance. He's "for it" but the feds are blocking it from happening the way he wants. That way he can have his cake and eat it too. He can say he's for legalization and at the same time not actually do anything that will upset his base.

damn!

Troy and Rindge are far worse than Winchester. The Chief of Police of Troy attended Jan 6.

This was going to happen sooner or later. I understand where the DNC is coming from, Iowa was a poor representative of the general electorate and are a poor predictor of what the national election would look like. NH isn't great either, but at least we're more representative of suburbia/college educated voters.

I think you're eyeing this a bit too vindictively. The DNC's purpose here is not to specifically spite NH, but make a more dynamic primary process that will respond to electorate and more relevant to the general election. Hence why you have Georgia and Michigan moving forward since both of those states are more relevant in the general election. In future years they'd likely move other states forwards or backwards based on the general election results. That's a good thing.

I also don't really care what happens with RNC. Their party and their primaries are way more of a shit show than the DNC. Their winner take all system is atrociously bad and it's partly the reason why we ended up with Trump in the first place.

No, but you claimed there was 5-6 antifa agents who framed the people going into the capitol. I haven't seen a single reputable source with information on this, do you have any links? I believe we're technically agreeing that claiming to be a member of a certain viewpoint doesn't mean you uphold it. But the difference is, I'm referring to your fake antifa scapegoats that you say existed to frame insurrectionists. They were not antifa members (antifa isn't a group), everyone involved in breaching the capitol is an insurrectionist. They did it for Trump and they are most certainly not against fascism, they literally tried to prop him up as a dictator.

So precious.

SO, to reiterate, because 1) you can parrot a definition, and 2) a certain group uses a particular name, then that means that 3) the behavior of that group actually is representative of the meaning in their chosen name?
