24. If they have a problem with it

They should examine their priorities, and their ignorance.

The DNC has effectively zilch to do with the primary process. They control the debates, and that's about it. Everything else is outside their control.

When to have primaries and where to let people vote are decided by states and counties, not the DNC. The DNC didn't tell states when to have their primaries. State laws did.

The DNC didn't decide who to put on ballots. States decide who qualifies to be on the ballot, and then campaigns file to run. The state decides if they meet the criteria or not.

The voters aren't chosen by the DNC. They register with their state as voters, usually through their counties.

The DNC doesn't decide where polling places would be (counties usually control that), or how many there will be (counties control that, too), or the method for casting ballots (states or counties control that).

The DNC doesn't count the votes, either. Local government does that, too.

Do keep up, but it would mean letting go of all those moronic conspiracy theories about a big, bad DNC out to get BS.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
