Joe Biden doesn’t need to worry about his prospects in South Carolina’s Democratic primary next week. He’s got that locked up.
He also knows he’s not likely to win the solidly red state come November. It hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1976.
He’s spending this weekend in the state nonetheless, intent on driving home two messages: He’s loyal to the state that saved his campaign in 2020 and he’s determined to win back Black voters here and elsewhere who were central to his election last time but are less enthused this go-round.
Biden will be the keynote speaker Saturday night at the state party’s fundraising dinner ahead of its first ever “first-in-the-nation” Democratic primary on Feb. 3. He’ll stick around to attend a political event at St. John Baptist Church on Sunday, in a state where politics and faith are intertwined.
FPTP can still work if we eliminated the electoral college which would force politicians to earn votes, eliminate primaries, which helps keep the oligarchy in power, one general election on election day, 1 term for the president, and fixed term for Congress. And the ability to remove a politician from power if they dont represent their constituents. And there’s no reason we couldn’t have remote voting via app on election day
Feel like you’d have better odds reducing / eliminating FPTP then doing everything else you listed here. There are already states with ranked choice, after all.
