new hampshire primary
Jan. 17th, 2024 08:04 amOk, so the Democrats have decided that New Hampshire is not representative of the US - it's very white- and shouldn't be the first in the nation primary and that in order to align with what they said, Biden's not on the ballot here in NH unless people write him in.
Also there was a thing where the democratic party was like 'we're not going to pay attention to new hampshire because of equity' or something like that and the secretary of state sent a cease-and-desist to the party to say 'stop telling people their votes don't matter.'
So in effect it's been lots of Republican candidates campaigning, Vermin Supreme and Paperboy Love Prince did a lesser-known-candidates debate, I've seen signs for Kennedy and I think Dean Phillips and Marianne W?
But now we're a week away from the primary (less than, in fact) and the ads on paramount and youtube have been very much chock-full of Nikki.
As far as R candidates go, I preferred Chris Christie because he was yelling about the emperor being naked, you know what I mean, as far as the Former President goes.
Vivek was a big supporter of Trump but he's out, now. Note - it's upsetting that his campaign was about 'truth' and he wouldn't call out the evidence that the 2020/2021 election/insurrection was fueled on lies.
Nikki keeps talking about a) china and b) being better than biden.
now her recent campaign is showing trump and biden as two awful options she's better than.
Ma'am.
They're not on the same level, but hooray for Nikki finally 'opposing' him, I guess?

"“When I tell them that only a third of the adults of the over 25 population were born in the state, they're like, really?” Johnson said.

In fact, Johnson and his team say the state's voting population has shifted a lot even since 2020. More than 200,000 new voters could be heading to the polls. That includes lots of people who moved to the state and young people voting for the first time.
In addition, Johnson’s study finds a little more than 200,000 longtime residents have either died or moved out of the state."
