And it kind of throws it in Michael Moore’s face. Really on both sides. It’s all about schmoozing and it doesn’t prove who is a better candidate for a national election.

do not let people who are not Democrats run for any office in the Democratic primary or in the general elections as a Democrat.

for at least four years, IMO, to run for the Presidency as a Democrat.

We need to redesign the Democratic Party primary process. We should have done so before the 2020 election year.

And I don't believe we ever got the final results. And as we were told, the changes were made to placate Sanders.

Bernie wins a caucus, a questionable indicator of party support to begin with. Then Joe wins big in the South Carolina primary, a much more representative demonstration of support. In this scenario we have no reason to be surprised when Bernie gets demolished on Super Tuesday and on Big Tuesday the following week. As soon as our party members were given an opportunity to make their preferences known, there was no question of who had their support. All this conspiracy-theory-rigged-DNC crap could have been avoided by starting our nominating process with states or groups of states that actually represent the diversity of the party, not the entitled opinions of the cloistered white people whose only claim to their position is some tradition of questionable provenance. I live in NH. I can't speak for Iowans, but we here in NH aren't the contemplative, discerning students of politics that our boosters would have you believe. We are no better or worse than everyone else in this country. The time for change has long passed.

caucuses should be made to go last so that they don't skew the results.

is that I believe New Hampshire has a rule that they’ll move their primary to the front of the pack, regardless of which states move up their dates.
