Reply to comment by CrunchyCrunch816 in Shaheen blasts proposal to move SC ahead of NH primary by fins4ever

Look at the stats for violent crime, college degrees, median income, murder rate and on and on and tell me that South Carolina would do a better job than New Hampshire.

New Hampshire invented primaries and should continue to go first. The only thing South Carolina ever invented was the confederacy.

So just because you live in a dangerous area doesn’t mean you deserve democracy, the same inalienable rights we all have? Your crime stats aren’t relevant to this discussion, as we all deserve democracy (a basic American value)

This is about making the people who represent us more reflective of our actual population. Why is it, for example, marijuana, supported by 70% of the country is still federally illegal? Because our reps don’t rep us!!!!

That’s democracy, that’s the practice of it, the people in congress should rep the people, we should strengthen that system by making it more of a representation of the actual people

I haven’t suggested they be disenfranchised, that happened only in your addled brain.

I suggested they not put their primary ahead of the first in the nation based on your flimsy justifications.
