The Biden campaign had what they thought would be a clever solution to their fear that the president would lose the New Hampshire primary. So they had the DNC decertify New Hampshire and made South Carolina first. Then Dean Phillips challenged Biden in NH. Faced with the prospect that Biden would lose the first primary (even if it’s unofficial), Biden has launched a write-in campaign for the race from which he asked to be removed from the ballot.
And if you think that's rich, guess what Florida Democrats just did?
The Florida Democratic Party -- likely full of people who will say with a straight face that democracy is at stake in 2024 -- decided that Joe Biden would be the only Democrat on their presidential primary ballot, excluding Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips, Cenk Uygur, etc. And because state law there says that no primary vote is conducted with only one candidate, the move effectively awarded all 250 delegates to their party's national convention to Biden.
Why are Democrats having so much difficulty with actual democracy? Because if/when he loses to Trump, they can blame anybody and everybody but themselves. Please don't misunderstand: I have great concerns about the rising fascism in this nation and around the world; it's just that Joe Biden -- contrary to the coordinated message Democrats are broadcasting -- does not represent 'democracy'. And vote-shaming is a poor way to do voter outreach.
