Wow: Biden has called for South Carolina to replace Iowa in the presidential selection process

New primary schedule—
1) SC
2) NH/NV
3) GA
4) MIThe smart takeaway here = Biden has nailed the far-left in a coffin for a generation. SC and GA are where socialism goes to die. The end of caucuses is another major blow

BREAKING: Democrats voted to remove Iowa as the leadoff state on the presidential nominating calendar and replace it with South Carolina starting in 2024, a dramatic shakeup championed by President Biden to better reflect the party’s diverse electorate. https://t.co/3gKEcLOpPQ

They are so mad. They don’t know what to do with themselves. Going to every small diner in Iowa and NH. Now, all those stories are going to have to focus on Black people.
And, they can’t just find the 2 Black voters who were for Bernie. They will also have to admit that they have never spent that much time around Black people in their lives.😒😒
The media is not used to focusing on the preferences of Black voters for any length of time. Now they will have to spend the kind of time they used to spend interviewing every registered voter in Iowa for a year what they think and instead ask Black voters in SC instead.

"He knows what South Carolina did for him, and he's demonstrated that time and again, by giving respect to South Carolina," Clyburn said. Adding that "when he runs for reelection" he hopes the state will repay him. A seemingly early endorsement of a potential 2024 bid by Biden.

I'll be honest, I don't have terribly strong feelings about which states should go first, but New Hampshire Democrats whining "ITS OURS, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT, " when they are not at all representative of what the Democratic Party coalition looks like, is annoying. https://t.co/0sTEq7ABka

SC – Moves from 4th to 1st
NV – Moves to 3rd to 2nd
NH – Remain 2nd but NV added

MI – Moved from 2nd Super TuesdayNo caucuses..Black and Latino vote represented.

White Democrats are really melting down at realizing Joe Biden actually wants black people, the base of the party, to be the FIRST to have a say in the Democratic primary.
It's almost like, in the highly contested elections of 2020, 2016, and 2008, WE decided the nominee.

This idea that a state that is not representative of the Democratic Party should go first, is antiquated. Is long past time to put a state first that is more representative of the Democratic Party itself. That state is not New Hampshire. That state is South Carolina. pic.twitter.com/M5X0fr5Fde

I asked Clyburn about criticism @harrisonjaime might get being DNC chair and a resident of the state.

Moving Sounth Carolina into 1st position also forces candidates to speak to black issues as an entree on the plate instead of a side dish they can just sample a small portion of.
If SC was first in 2016 Bernie wouldn't have even made it passed March.

Across the US, Elon Musk’s Boring Company shows up to pitch transport projects far below the cost of competitors. Local officials get excited and pursue them, for cost savings and to associate with Musk.
But when it has to deliver, the company disappears.
Paris Marx (@parismarx) tweeted at 6:22 AM on Wed, Nov 30, 2022:
The Boring Company’s actions show Elon Musk isn’t ushering in a transport revolution; he’s stifling any hope of one.
In the same way the Hyperloop’s purpose was to get high-speed rail canceled, Boring is distracting from transport projects that could make a real difference.
Paris Marx (@parismarx) tweeted at 6:22 AM on Wed, Nov 30, 2022:
A funny fact in the WSJ piece is that the Boring Company’s permit in Las Vegas isn’t a transport permit, but in “a category called ATS, for Amusement and Transportation Systems.” That’s for amusement park rides.
I’ve been making this comparison for a while.
Paris Marx (@parismarx) tweeted at 6:22 AM on Wed, Nov 30, 2022:
