“among Democrats, white voters are the most progressive.”
Hmm… aka ‘most woke’.

For those who don’t know, two things: First, Iowa doesn’t hold a primary election – it’s a party caucus system in which party insiders get together across the state to choose their favorites. Thus, activists who will show up on a stormy night control the vote. As a result, New Hampshire was always considered the first true electoral primary. Second, Biden chose Kamala Harris as VP in a deal to get support from a black Congressman in South Carolina. This is Biden’s thank-you kiss for that support.

This is part and parcel of Democrats’ desire to undo the Electoral College and base national elections solely on the popular vote. It would give the urban centers sole power to elect the president, and virtually disenfranchise rural people.

Can anyone here recommend a “US election process for dummies” type book. Every time I read about the US system is seems more and more convoluted, I’m sure it’s not for those in the know, but, even after reading this article, I’m still not sure why it’s necessary have a calendar or how it works. Sorry I seem dim, but to this outsider it’s all very confusing.

As its candidate for the last presidential election was clearly senile, I would think that the Democrats have more pressing things to worry about than who is fiddling with the calendar. Problems like, how do you spend a potload of spondoolicks and still end up with Joe Biden?
Not that senile if, at the end, he gets to impose a moderate name without leaving the progressives any room to complain (how will they conceivably defend that “more diversity” is a bad thing?).

Interesting. Never knew the primaries where ordered that way (or any way, for that matters).
