That means that if Biden intends to follow his own rules, he would have to forfeit the two contests, clearing the way for Democratic challengers like Marianne Williamson, a self-help author, or Robert Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer best known these days for his anti-vaccine stance. Both have said they would accept the DNC’s penalties for campaigning out of turn, NBC News reported.
The DNC has not yet indicated what those penalties might be.
It must be really bad for Biden when even ABC is saying he’s far behind Trump in the polls.
They either think he can’t win, or they really want him replaced.
That would not be the automatic result of this, which deals with primaries, not the general.
As far as penalties go, the most likely outcome is that primary votes from thae state won’t be acknowledged in the wider primary. In essence, the states will hold votes that don’t have any meaning
I’ve never understood that narrative. Both Hillary and Biden secured most pledged delegates and most votes in their primary - even if you ignore the superdelegates they still win.
Maybe we can get Al Franken to run for president, the SNL version. Franken vs Trump!!! The country would lose no matter who won, but the campaign would be very entertaining!
Bernie Bros (which you now to be aligned with) have never had a coherent explanation as to why one person getting more votes than another person somehow equates to the evil party apparatchiks manipulating the process in their favor.
Sure but what do you do when new ideas, policies and attitudes aren’t that popular with the voters ?
I am obviously not suggesting you’re a communist (neither are most Bernie Bros). I am saying that you are aligned with them on this issue - i.e. DNC somehow screwed Bernie because… more voters liked Hillary ?
