In a move that reeks of desperation, the Alaska Democratic Party is considering scrapping its traditional state primary contest and awarding all its national delegate votes to President Joe Biden. This blatant attempt to silence any potential challengers to Biden’s reelection bid is a concerning sign that Democrats are circling the wagons around their chosen candidate.
Under current party rules, Alaska delegates would be pledged to certain candidates based on the results of a statewide party primary. However, the party is now asking its members whether they should change the primary rules to preemptively allocate all 17 pledged Alaska delegates to Biden without holding a traditional primary. This move effectively shuts the door on any competition and undermines the democratic process within the party.
This isn’t just happening in Alaska. According to ABC News, several of Biden’s most viable Democratic challengers are facing roadblocks in getting onto state ballots in various states. Rep. Dean Phillips, author Marianne Williamson, and progressive commentator Cenk Uygur have all encountered difficulties in states like Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. They allege, without evidence, that the national Democratic Party, along with state chapters, are conspiring to bend the process in Biden’s favor.
It’s clear that the Democratic Party is running scared. They see the writing on the wall and are resorting to desperate tactics to ensure Biden’s uncontested nomination. By stifling competition and blocking challengers, they are denying the voters a fair and open primary process.
