Abdul El-Sayed won his primary then became Senator. Primaries work, focus your energy on getting people to vote in them. DNC isn’t getting rid of primaries, that’s a completely baseless claim.
In the case Wilding vs DNC in 2016 the DNC argued that they have no duty at all to run a fair primary. DNC attorneys argued that the organization is a private political corporation with the right to select its nominees internally and that statements of neutrality were general political or aspirational remarks rather than legally binding contracts.
Spiva (DNC lawyer) stated in court: “We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.’ That’s not the way it was done. But they could have.”
The DNC won that case. The judge said, “To the extent Plaintiffs wish to air their general grievances with the DNC or its candidate selection process, their redress is through the ballot box, the DNC’s internal workings, or their right of free speech — not through the judiciary.”
The Dems had a primary for only some states right. The DNC arbitrarily decided to nullify the New Hampshire Dem primary because they didnt follow the schedule change the DNC preferred, in putting right-leaning South Carolina first so a centrist would have a leg up in the Dem selection process. What kind of party just declares that the votes of a whole state just dont matter? what kind of fair election process changes the rules so a more rightwing group has first say?
And some states where the voters are progressive like california and new york are held much later than the conservative states. Arizona, south carolina, nevada Iowa go first. The party decides that. Why would they do that I wonder? Do you not wonder? Its just accepted reality for you? Seems to me that you live in a fantasy.
So, in summary, NH broke the rules, Biden won anyway, and the delegates were still seated. Expect NH to pull the same ™first in the nation" ploy again in 2028 and watch history repeat.

Yes, a completely baseless claim from the party that didn’t have a presidential primary.
What are you talking about? The Democratic party had a presidential primary in 2024. Biden won them.
There’s lots of things to complain about the Democratic party, you don’t need to make up things.

The DNC set the calendar before the primaries, and New Hampshire decided that it had to be first instead of following the rules. Biden won the New Hampshire primary as a write in because he wasn’t on the ballot. The New Hampshire delegates were still seated anyways.
So, in summary, NH broke the rules, Biden won anyway, and the delegates were still seated. Expect NH to pull the same ™first in the nation" ploy again in 2028 and watch history repeat.
