      No, all of the whiney conservative trolling online honestly led me to believe Biden wasn’t very popular, so I was genuinely surprised that even without being on the ballot, he was able to win the primary.

        A meaningless win because the DNC is refusing to sanction the primary and is engaging in voter suppression in favor of their own internal power plays.

        As per their letter:

        ● The event on January 23, 2024 cannot be used as the first determining stage of the state’s
        delegate selection process and is considered detrimental.
        ● The NHDP must take steps to educate the public that January 23rd is a non-binding
        presidential preference event and is meaningless and the NHDP and presidential
        candidates should take all steps possible not to participate.
        ● No delegates or alternates shall be apportioned based on the results of the January 23,
        2024 event.
        ● No scheduling of events related to the selection of delegates or alternates in New
        Hampshire may be based on the January 23, 2024 event.

          A candidate winning despite not being on the ballot is an impressive show of public confidence and voter preference regardless of the circumstances.
