The DNC doesn't hold primaries, state governments hold primaries The fight over whether to delay the Ohio primary or not was entirely between the (Republican) governor's office and the state courts, the DNC had nothing to do with it

Yeah if you read the body of this article it says that the EXISTING RULES FROM BEFORE THE VIRUS OUTBREAK say that if you delay your primary past the deadline in June (one month before the convention) you get penalized

The article goes on to say that the DNC is looking into CHANGING THIS but it's a SLOW PROCESS because it's a bureaucratic organization whose rules require debates in committee and a vote to change, not a focused cabal of Illuminati ruled with an iron fist by Tom Perez

Idk Arthur they seemed able to change their rules pretty quickly when Bloomberg dropped a $300k donation

anyway let's hope Slow Bureaucracy doesn't hold up this rule change enough that some states still find themselves affected. that would be highly inconvenient, just in general, and not toward any one candidate in particular, as all these little hiccups have been

So just to be clear: you’re advocating for the chairperson of the DNC to have unilateral authority to postpone or cancel elections by decree. That is a power you want to grant them and you’re mad they don’t already have it.

damn guess I'm not, guess they had no choice but to tell people it was safe to vote when it wasn't, the only other possible option

Symone Sanders was asked a question on TV and said the CDC had issued guidance on the primaries that didn't say to cancel them, which was accurate

That's probably because the CDC didn't feel like they had the authority to tell people to cancel the primary, sure, but the Biden campaign doesn't really have that authority either

Anyone telling people not to vote who doesn't have the power to actually delay or cancel the election comes off as trying to suppress votes and will predictably generate a backlash Which is why people shouldn't have been making shitty "stay home Boomer" tweets
