Republicans and Democrats used to have a grand tradition of presidential candidates heading up to New Hampshire, putting on LL Bean jackets and trying to talk down to small groups of skeptical senior citizens in diners. It was a stupid way to choose leaders, but, like democracy itself, it was also the least bad option because it forced national candidates to get out of their comfort zones and talk to random people in a state that they would have otherwise ignored.
Then the Democrats decided to run a senile presidential candidate in 2024 and to make sure that he had no possible competition, the DNC conspired to rig the primary calendar by starting the season off with South Carolina: a state whose political virtue was that political boss Rep. James Clyburn could deliver the black vote to anyone dead or alive, or, like Joe Biden, somewhere in between.
The DNC claimed that it was urgent to replace New Hampshire with South Carolina for the sake of diversity, because nothing epitomizes diversity like rigging an election for an old white man.
New Hampshire was ordered to move its primary back. New Hampshire Dems explained that the primary dates were set by state law and that they had to proceed with the primary on the usual schedule. The DNC told Democrats not to vote in the primary and then launched a write-in campaign that Biden somehow won, despite barely being able to remember his name on a good day, testifying to either the complete mindlessness or fraudulence of the party.
Once Biden had been ousted, the DNC could have put back the old primary calendar, instead it decided to host a showdown between South Carolina and Nevada to replace New Hampshire.
Nevada and South Carolina were at the top because unlike New Hampshire they had fewer white people, at least who voted Democrat, because most of those had decamped from a party that made a special point of hating them . The best argument for Nevada was that it was full of Latinos and the best argument for South Carolina was that it was full of black people.
And not picking South Carolina would be racist. The only question was whether not picking Nevada would be just as racist, more racist or slightly less racist.
“If South Carolina gets quietly bumped after one cycle of convenient praise, that sends a message louder than any speech at a Democratic dinner: the gratitude was performance, not policy,” Al Sharpton warned.
The DNC juggled two races until it decided that black people were the most important and so South Carolina will host the first state primary, Latinos were the second most important and so Nevada will go second, and white people were the least important, so New Hampshire would go third. Latinos however get a consolation prize with a fourth place spot for New Mexico, while fifth place goes to the all-important demographic of Hamas supporters in Michigan.
(New Hampshire Democrats still can’t move their primary, which means that if 2024 repeats itself, they’ll just conduct the primary on schedule and Biden will again win the write-in vote.)
Apart from potentially setting up an AOC presidency (as the most high-profile Latina and leftist candidate, she could potentially win 4 out of the first 5 primary states, and seal the deal), the primary calendar is a useful metric for bringing the racial ugliness of the Dems out into the open.
A statement by DNC leaders bragged that this was “the most diverse calendar Democrats have ever had for an open nominating contest” and the official site ranked the calendar based on the number of the 4.6 million black people, 4.2 million Latinos and 1.4 Asian Americans who live in the early window states. Sorry Asian Americans, you’ll need more votes if you want to rank.
Only 4 out of 49 of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee members backed New Hampshire for the top spot, while South Carolina scored 26 votes and Nevada took home 19 votes. Iowa, also once an early state, but deemed excessively white, wasn’t even on the table.
Democrats in New Hampshire and Iowa are discovering that diversity means no white people.
Under the new primary calendar, the racial makeup of the first 4 early window states drops from a distinct white majority to 57% or so, ensuring that minority voters play a much larger role in picking the party’s nominee. In reality, this really means that political bosses like Rep. Clyburn and the network of minority ‘voter outreach’ groups, often leftist non-profits, and powerful unions will be doing the actual picking. Much like 2024, ‘diversity’ is just a human shield for rigging the primaries by putting political machines and organizers in charge of manufacturing a bloc vote.
57% is well below the 64% of white Kamala voters. Despite all the hype and racial pandering, black voters only made up 16% of her voters and Latinos represented only 11%. But rather than try to win over white voters, the Dems are doubling down on erasing white voters and elevating black and Latino voters as being somehow superior to them purely on account of their race.
The last time Dems did this in New Hampshire, Kamala’s vote totals in New Hampshire were down by 6,000 from Biden’s totals in 2020, while Trump’s shot up 30,000. At this rate, Republicans will go back to winning New Hampshire.
This isn’t the sort of stuff that wins elections, but winning elections isn’t really the point.
The DNC carved out a primary calendar geared to promoting some candidates and suppressing others. The calendar likely kills the Buttgieg campaign dead, even before it would have died on its own, while making Kamala and AOC into viable contenders, and puts the Hamas supporters in Michigan in a powerful position to force concessions to their agenda from the candidates.
All of this is being done under the guise of promoting racial diversity, but what it does all too well is convey to voters that the Democratic Party only cares about them based on their race. The 2028 primary calendar is a document that shows exactly how the party ranks races. It’s as racist as anything that came out of Jim Crow and it’s how Dems want to pick their next president.
