Biden:

There's no time to run anyone else!

Voters:

The convention is a month away...

Biden:

I'ma need a month to think about this then

If Biden "isn't sure" then he can participate in whatever primary we can slap together and show voters what he's made of while we evaluate other options.

We could have just done that for a legit primary months ago. But as soon as they stole NH' s delegates I knew it was going to be a shit show.

I just wish more people listened back then.

We should have had people on the street as soon as they pulled that undemocratic shit.

I hadn’t before heard about what happened in NH. Fascinating.

Yeah, it's fucking nuts.

New Hampshire argued it would not move its primary, because it was bound by its state constitution to be first.

The DNC then stripped the state of its 24 delegates and Mr Biden did not register as a candidate, nor did he campaign in the state. Voting in primaries decides the number of delegates that in turn select the party's nominee at the national convention in August.

It's expecially fucked considering how NH has been consistently voting for progressives over party favorites. I forget what bullshit they gave for reasons, but the real reason NH lost delegates was NH never voted for the DNC's pick

Like, everything about the entire situation was fucked, but it was immediately replaced in the news cycle with:

Biden wins NH in historic write in campaign!

But Biden's already turning on the media just for asking questions. He's not going to get much more favorable coverage.
