This is based on 43 states being considered “non-negotiable” and “set in stone” while only 7 are considered “swing” states
Also consider I specified “voters”, who are at best only 2/3 of the total population, which leaves out about 100 million extra people
It’s fucking ludicrous to not have all of the primaries on the same date
And then you have the “caucuses.” Secret ballots? Naa. How about you go personally stand in a specific corner of a public school gymnasium in front of news cameras (and make it a several hour ordeal instead of punching a box and leaving).
I first saw footage of that on tv when I was a boy in the late 1970s. I couldn’t believe it. I don’t remember if I had seen SNL by then or not. But the thing in the gym certainly seemed like something from a comedy sketch and not something that was real that sane adults actually did.
Then have a BS verbal vote where your boos against Buttigieg actually end up counting as support for him
Then the BS coinflip to decide support.
Which is then cheated
“I was saying Boo-ttigieg”
Every state Democratic party should be pursue their own national political interest and move their primary date up to be tied with the first. Its absurd that you’d just let your states political interest be moot.
