DNC sets 2028 primary calendar, South Carolina goes first
NEW: DNC passed dueling resolutions today: one to abolish ICE and one to reform ICE. Neither are binding, and the platform won’t be finalized until the 2028 convention. Keep being loud! apnews.com/article/demo...
oddmediapro.bsky.social89You cannot reform fascist thugs, abolish ice
Deb42If ‘reform’ means fire everyone, cancel every contract, delete all data and discard everything and the. create an entirely new mission with different objectives, tactics, people, data and tools, then, sure.
Sally K. H.32Christ, there is no reforming the Gestapo.
raventerp1.bsky.social29ICE has to go. PERIOD. It cannot be "reformed". And frankly, we need immigrants. So why are we spending all of this money trying to get rid of them? Give them Amnesty.
Jean Ibosh22How do you reform homicidal maniacs? 
Cheryl Kuhnert21Abolish, it's the only way to be sure.
Askme17Need to return ICE to what it was before Donorrhea turned it into the Gestapo. There were no issues with them before, They followed the law.
AFinRenoFightsBack 🌊2026 🌊15“the one thing that unites Democrats, regardless of their position on reform versus abolish or whatever other ways to change what’s happening, is people believe that what ICE is doing right now — and CBP and the federal government — should stop...There has to be a better way” Better way:
Molly McQueen 🏳️⚧️☯️☭🍓7Ah, now that sounds like the Democratic party I know and am pressured to pretend to love.
El Jefe Gone Dark Security6Anyone calling for reforming ICE should be summarily primaried. There is no reforming terrorists.
Marco Nardi "OperationOne"4hanno un grosso problema coi riformisti renziani anche negli USA
Aleph, The Black Ram3Sounds like the DNC needs to decide which side they're picking if they even want to win midterms, let alone 2028. If I were the kind of shitheel to be on the DNC, I wouldn't wait.
Lowell1082Resolutions are strongly worded letters are not gonna cut it this time. They have never cut it. That's one of the Democratic Party is so weak. We need a revolution, not an election. The election is going to be stolen, Alison.
jmm2Ken Martin, Shumer and Jefferies and any other Pol who takes foreign money, needs to go away.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Democrats approve a 2028 presidential primary calendar that leads off with South Carolina, followed by Nevada.
Jadeabliss - 🪷 “No one let go of anyone’s hand.”🪷33For those who are curious about this: Moving up SC and NV is a way to better reflect the party's deeply diverse electorate. Concern was Iowa is fairly homogeneous and not as representative of the base of the party.
Nefarious Means23The howling from our white "allies" is going to be off the charts.
Razzball21Jim Clyburn locking in, lasers shooting from eyes, speaks in a low rumble, "Democrats"
Midnight Oil15Switching Iowa, which theoretically at least could go Blue in a mega wave year, out with South Carolina, which won't go blue for fifty years is a choice....
thepissedoldlady.bsky.social14Y'all quit yer bitchin' and get behind Dr. Annie Andrews @drannieandrews.com ! Do you really want Lindsey's sister in that seat???
“The Well Read Bonnet” 🖕🏽🤷🏽♀️9Will you people shut up and quit pretending like you don’t know why you are mad. Most Black Americans live in the SOUTH. Which one of these states has a strong Black electorate? SC, NV, NH, MI or VA Why do we have to wait to have our voices heard until MI? Your internalized dominance is showing!
Pierce41A lot of ignorant & frankly racist reactions to this beyond expected whining from the 2 super white states when this is just a good decision that’s far more reflective of the party’s base & overall diversity. I hope the DSCC & DCCC also pay more mind to these states. Frankly the DLGA & DGA too.
Kacey32540As per usual, white folks are telling on themselves in the thread. As per usual, Black folks are seeing it all and taking notes. 📝
Jesse20if it were me I would probably start off with a state that a Democrat has won since 1976 but that’s why I’m not making James Carville money
Big Lord Bunny19Testing candidate viability with your core voting bases >>>>>>>>>>>>
Darth J.D.10Everyone complaining about why SC and “there are blacks other places” miss the fact that SC has been a far better predictor of the winner for Democratic Primary due entirely to the Black population there.
RassyVille6196The Blacks to Iowa and New Hampshire:
Nat is in the valley of the shadow of death3Should all be the same day, just like the general election has to be on the same day throughout the country. The framers had good reason to put that in the constitution, and I suspect they’d have said the same for primaries if they’d known they were going to be a thing.
⚜️TYRANT Madame⚜️2Ohhhhhh the whites will NOT be happy about this. The Blacks™️ & Latinos get to go first
TresTiffany2Nevada is as good a second chance as they could hope for. Because either you want representative data on who is a truly viable candidate or you want an easy path for a loser in the general election
I love the look of the Black DNC member in the front row as she looks incredulously at the very white Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart opposing the new 2028 Democratic primary calendar that puts Black voters first.
Armageddon Army the GSD3Clueless in Iowa. It's really a thing. 😬
nichrome77.bsky.social2Get Republicans out of the Democratic Party. This party belongs to working people now—of ALL colors. You corporate “Dems” from rural states need to GTFO.
Wina1Ms Hart is a respected leader and defender of civil rights🇺🇲Democrats have reignited the State of Iowa. Arguing for an early Midwest state presence in a general primary election cycle is solid. Congratulations to the South, but now we must together bring it home🇺🇲we all are now facing tyranny. Vote🇺🇲
Christopher1Iowa gave us Obama. SC lost to trump.
Diplocat1Stop with this divisive shit. Democrats are 💯 united against racism. Focus your efforts on the Nazi party that has negated civil rights and the voting rights act.
The only reasons someone would have an issue with the dem primary starting in South Carolina is because they think black people would only pick someone who is black or they don’t think black people will vote for a legitimate candidate… either way, racist
ATX Stays Winning2Progressives believe that those who prefer moderate democrats are idiots who have been blinded by propaganda and media that only THEY are smart enough to see through. Those voters just happen to be mostly black. It's INSANELY racist, and the main impediment to the movement's growth at this point.
okthen25.bsky.social1Enough of them voted for Trump. So I think what you say is not valid
robdotcole.bsky.social1I have a problem with primaries not all being on the same day
Andy Olsen1Why are those the only reasons? South Carolina is a backwards Republican state from which nothing good has ever issued since.. when? South Caroline is rightwing. Of course they would get behind the more conservative Dem in the primary. I think of those things first.
