Why is everyone blaming the state?
To be on the ballot the party needs to declare their candidate by a certain date.
The DNC picked a date so late, that it missed these deadlines. And just expected the states to change the rules for them. Like how the DNC told NH to violate their state laws and push back their primary.
They don't care about rules and regulations, they'll do what they want and demand everyone accommodate it.
But this whole thing never made sense.
They schedule the convention super late, but they also want to declare the primary over after a handful of their favorite states get to vote and 90% of the states haven't yet.
Just pick a fucking lane. If the DNC wants the primary over quickly, why schedule the convention so late that they can't go on ballots?
And I'll never understand why anyone can look at this situation, understand what's happening, and blame anyone except the unelected idiots running the DNC because they can bring in the most donations from billionaires and corporations.
Thing is, since 2010 there have been accommodations to BOTH parties except in '16 where they both did it before the 90 day thing. Dems still should have known better, should have
They knew better
-The DNC being absolutely tone deaf
Like, I have no doubt that's what happened. But it's just terrible messaging to the Dem base.
