primary results

Yeah ..

I didn't even get to that can of worms.

The DNC said it wouldn't count, Biden said he was pulling out since it didn't count and took his name off the ballot, then Biden and the DNC (victory fund means the money is basically the same) spent millions for a write in campaign after he took himself off the ballot so the narrative would be "Biden still won, he's that popular!" Even though the only other person running didn't have millions of dollars to spend on a fight that didn't matter. So only Biden ran ads despite taking himself off the ballot.

Here's a good article about it:

The outcome is more symbolic than anything. The Democratic National Committee broke with tradition this year and chose South Carolina to hold its first primary of the year, on Feb. 3. But New Hampshire has a law requiring it to go first, so it went ahead with its vote anyway.

As a result of the dispute, New Hampshire's delegates won't be seated at the Democratic National Convention in August, and the results won't count toward Biden's official nomination.

The whole thing was incredibly fucked and the type of shenanigans only Republicans would usually pull

Quick edit:

Oh yeah. And this part:

The Democratic National Committee broke with tradition this year and chose South Carolina to hold its first primary of the year, on Feb. 3

The primaries are ran by the state parties, the DNC has no authority to "choose" what states go first, it's just especially since the "victory find" nonsense, the state parties do t have a lot of power and the DNC has way more than it ever has.

But I just wanted to clarify despite how that's phrased, the DNC has no say in when state primaties are held, which is why it's so fucked they want to stack the deck with states who will vote for "moderates" and not NH who just kept voting for Bernie every four years...
