Joe Biden may hit another bump on his way to getting on a state’s presidential ballot, with Alabama’s top elections official asserting Tuesday that the president and vice president will miss the deadline to be certified as nominees in the state come November given the timing of the Democratic National Convention.
These laws are silly too, helping to encourage the already ridiculously long presidential campaign to take even longer by pushing conventions further back.
No, that’s incorrect. Alabama is complaining that the democratic convention is too late (even though they have allowed it later for Republicans in the past). They set an earlier deadline for the nomination to be finalized, trying to force conventions to take place earlier. This would lengthen the main presidential campaign after the conventions take place. Since all primaries have to be done by the time a convention takes place, earlier conventions also put pressure for there to be earlier primaries too. There’s no reason we need the presidential campaign proper lengthened from two months to two and a half months at Alabama and Ohio’s whims. Two months is more than enough.
Democrats and Republicans alternate who has the earlier and later primary each year. If we allow these states to start pushing conventions out from August more and more, then instead of one party in July and one party in August, we’ll end up with one party in July and one in June before you know it.
Also the cynic in me says that because it was predictable that democrats would be the late convention this year (since they alternate with republicans and Republicans were later in 2020), the red states that passed laws that moved their deadlines even earlier did this to try and create this exact situation.
I just want to point out the irony that you’re ragging on the other poster for too many words while your single sentence vaguely alludes to something wrong without actually specifying what’s wrong.
I say this seriously, you’re having far too strong of reactions to pretty minor things. I understand you may be trolling, in which case bravo. But if you aren’t trolling you may want to consider talking to someone about what seems like an abundance of emotion that’s unrelated to what’s being discussed here.
Anyway, hope you’re doing well and find some peace.
Literally the opposite of what’s happening…

You just said the complete opposite of what you said before…
Type less, it’s easier for people to explain one thing you’re wrong about than 20. You’re starting out with a flawed premise and just going off.
Maybe someone else will be willing to help you.
The comment was 4 sentences? I said the same thing both times, and just elaborated more on why in the second comment since you misconstrued my first.

Surely that was important for it to be the second comment you’ve ever made from your porn account…
Definitely can’t be that you’re just an alt of the other account and you realized I blocked that one.
Surely another inactive account wo t jump up when you realize I blocked this one too . That’s never happened before.
