Every 4 years, party leaders come together and tell us it’s really cute how some people in Iowa and NH want “whoever” for our candidate but actually we have to have “boring next in line pick” and we have to shut up and like it and for whatever reason it works in South Carolina. Then the media plays along and that’s that. Party leaders get exactly what they want after only a fraction of people have voted. I don’t understand why we can’t have all the primaries on the same day in like May.
