Repukes, not so much.

Hillary lost delegates in 2016 because of the shitheads running Florida at the time.

We need to be flexible in the face of new challenges. Let's get this show on the road.

to the whining about "the system is rigged" and "the DNC is picking our candidate"!

But, more importantly .. by and large people aren't listening anymore. I'm sure they'll be back again in 2024 (hopefully with a new candidate) .. but most of us have moved on.

of the DNC penalizing states where Dems had no say-so in postponing primaries or not.

Seems to me that would open up the possibility of Republican Governors possibly manipulating the Democratic primaries...not that it would EVER occur to them to do so. I'm likely worrying about nothing...they're probably much too busy drawing up new gerrymandered maps and purging voter registration rolls as their numbers continue to dwindle.

Did you read the linked article?

Edit: on reflection, I think it was I that misunderstood the "state parties" terminology. Still .. I can't find the rationale in the DMC threatening sanction against action that the part officials have no control over. I sincerely doubt that could be their intent.

More in the context of potentially cancelled primaries than postponed ones. If they have them eventually, it's harder to make a case for reducing delegates. But, if they are forced to be cancelled in order to have a reasonable timeline to election day, it makes sense to change the delegate allotment.

Oh yea.
