Dems reshuffle primaries to stress diversity over tradition

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Democratic Party on Saturday approved reordering its 2024 presidential primary, replacing Iowa with South Carolina in the leadoff spot as part of a major shake-up meant to empower Black and other minority voters critical to its base of support.

Although more changes are possible later this year, the formal endorsement by the Democratic National Committee during its meeting in Philadelphia is an acknowledgement that the start of the 2024 primary will look very different from the one in 2020. Hundreds of party stalwarts climbed to their feet and cheered after the easy passage by voice vote.

States with early contests play a major role in determining the nominee because White House hopefuls struggling to raise money or gain political traction often drop out before visiting states outside the first five. Media attention and policy debates concentrate in those areas, too.

Race and abortion. That is all we will hear from Democrats until Biden is reelected with Moochelle as VP.

The Democrats think they can flip South Carolina just like they flipped Georgia.

South Carolina is 37% non-white.

That means at least 70% of white SC voters need to vote Republican in presidential elections to keep SC in the GOP column.

The Democrats will totally focus on turning out poor white women and Black voters.

RATS can change voting rules anytime one of the azhos wants to. Just don’t let the GOP try to change anything. That will start the death threats rolling out from the WHITE DNC maggots and their tokens.

Easier for DNC approved candidate to win the primaries. With the traditional calendar, somebody like Bernie Sanders have a shot and DNC is not going to want that.

Now that they’ve learned to hate white people, how much longer can lilies like Newsom, O’Rourke and Buttigieg last?

As long as they are approved candidates by DNC, Obama will endorse them so Blacks will vote for the DNC candidate in the South Carolina Primary.

The Democrats should just ban white voters in their primaries—and require a DNA test to prove that voters do not have one drop of white blood!

There can be no half-breeds messing up the purity of the Democrats!

Well, Buttgig is not just another white man, he is a homosexual. And as a representative of homosexuality, he gets diversity points.

Never has my primary choice vote mattered. But this will be very fun. The most radical marxist “BIPOC” will get the first rounds for the democrats and they’ll get stuck with them in the general.

The black population in South Carolina is 26 percent of the State, not 37 percent which probably would put it into play for the Dems as opposed to Georgia which is 31 percent black.

African-American voters comprise up to 60% of South Carolina’s Democratic electorate.
