This won't have any effect on the number of votes the Dem nominees in NH get 11/5/2024, and no effect on the general election result. Also, no Democrat nationwide cares about some other state than NH being FITN

Almost like some of them do have the interests of the state in mind and not just the party. FITN has its benefits for the state.

The hospitality industry gets a big boost from all of the staffers and media needing hotel rooms for months on end. Not to mention, all of the money that WMUR and the radio stations across the state take in from the campaign ads.

I'd be interested in a study on the economic impact of the FITN primary.

Also, staging, AV, professional photographers and videographers, and the colleges that benefit from enrollment from the political access FITN offers.

Certainly.

With that said, am I supposed to support NH being first every year...."because we said so"? I don't really see why we should be perpetually special even if it is beneficial to the state.

Something can be good for the state and also not really make any sense in terms of fairness.

Short answer? Yes.

SkiingAway t1_j4yarx9 wrote

I mean, that's an opinion I suppose.

Given that there's 49 other states, I'm not seeing why they'd agree that NH deserves to be the most important in perpetuity.

At best I've got "NH is a swing state"...but that'd still suggest it should rotate at least a bit between a few swing states. Or that a bunch of them should be on the same day.

I keep trying to figure out why this even matters and so far Iā€™ve got nothing. Like seriously, besides feeling special, doesnā€™t matter at all in the outcome of the election if we go first?

It's so politicians can make empty promises in NH before they make empty promises in other states.

Nope, just something people worry about when they don't have anything worth worrying about.

They're going to do the primary as usual here, regardless of whether or not the delegates get penalized for not listening to the national party. The momentum of candidates is what's important (supposedly).

In 2020, there were 24 delegates up for grabs in NH, and there were 3979 total. Those 24 "not counting" doesn't really matter.

Yes, the NH primary is about attention not delegates. Unless the DNC threatens that there will be no change.

Bidenā€™s just mad he lost here at FITN and is being a petty brat about it.

I mean... so did Obama, Dubya, and Clinton. Trump is the first FITN primary winner to go onto win the nomination and then the presidency since Bush in 1988. We aren't exactly sending our top choices to the White House... and the one time we did recently, look how that turned out lol...

Or maybe they want to have a state that at least vaguely resembles the us populationā€¦

NH politicians overestimate how much the general population cares about the FITN primary.

But NH isn't going to move its primary. SC and GA aren't going to move theirs either. They would all require Republicans doing the bidding of the DNC. And I'm not sure why the DNC thinks holding delegates hostage is going to convince Sununu to change the law.

If the DNC really wants to move NH back in the schedule it's going to require some real threats, and possibly also the cooperation of the RNC.

I know it hard to believe but the RNC the Republican nor the state get to tell the DNC how to run there primary. Not that I am surprised they will try. Personal I think this just show how the 2 parties can't work together even on basic fundamentals problems.

JonDowd762 t1_j514pfk wrote

The primary is run by the state. The SoS will schedule the primary according to law, not according to the preferences of one party. Sununu is a Republican and isnā€™t going to sign a law because the DNC asks him to. And fwiw a Democratic governor probably wouldnā€™t either.

Because they are smarter than people that support the GOP.

Iā€™m an independentā€” I donā€™t care if the repair guy was blind, Iā€™m not talking about Hunter Biden, Iā€™m talking about Joe Biden. Joe has been corrupt for 48 years, Hunter is junior varsity corrupt compared to the big guy.

does take much research, Biden has hundreds of videos where he says something so distasteful, racist, or corrupt/crony. just open your eyes, itā€™s not hard.
