Summary
Briahna sits down with Carlos Cardona and Marcurius Byrd, the New Hampshire and South Carolina state directors for Marianne Williamson's 2024 campaign about what it would take for a progressive to win, and whether it's even possible given what we know about how the DNC put the finger on the scale in the last two Democratic primaries. What lessons were learned from how Bernie operated in South Carolina? Do the changes to the primary schedule improve Marianne's chances in New Hampshire? And should progressives invest emotionally if not financially in this race? An insider view of the campaign you wont get anywhere else.

| 0:00.0 | One of the big shifts has been the DNC deciding to reorder the primary, such that New Hampshire no longer goes first, because many people believe Joe Biden's successes in South Carolina. |
| 0:12.7 | There was a decision made to put South Carolina first. |
| 0:15.5 | Of course, the Democratic Party frames this as having an interest in foregrounding a state that is more diverse, but notably |
| 0:22.5 | states like New Hampshire, which are also very diverse and which progresses have done very well, |
| 0:27.1 | in which Bernie Sanders won 70 percent of the Latino vote, were not chosen, nor were states like |
| 0:31.7 | Georgia, which is also very diverse or, let's say, Nevada. |
| 0:36.3 | What did I say? Did I not say Nevada first? But yeah, |
| 0:38.8 | 100% Nevada. So New Hampshire, my understanding, is feeling rather chagrined about no longer |
| 0:45.2 | having priority in the voting schedule. Does that create a potential for a potential benefit |
| 0:52.8 | for Marianne in that state? And how do you see that playing out? |
| 0:57.5 | If it makes people happy in South Carolina and South Carolina is going first, will it even matter |
| 1:02.0 | if that boosts Marianne somewhat in New Hampshire? I'm glad that you asked this question because |
| 1:07.4 | regardless of what the DNC decides to do, the state law in New Hampshire is that we go |
| 1:12.5 | first. And the state secretary has already said that regardless what Democrats think or Republicans |
| 1:17.3 | think, New Hampshire is going to apply the law and we're going to go first. So I just won my election |
| 1:22.9 | for a rules committee here in the state. And I'm really excited to be once again in the party to be |
| 1:28.4 | able to work on these things. And we are preparing to go first regardless of what the DNC. |
| 1:34.1 | What does that mean? I mean, how do these rules work? New Hampshire and just decide to go rogue |
| 1:38.9 | and hold its election whenever it wants? Well, I mean, it's not the first time a state goes rogue. |
| 1:43.9 | You know, Florida and Michigan, I believe, it's not the first time a state goes rogue. You know, Florida and |
| 1:44.9 | Michigan, I believe, did it in 2008. The DNC decided to penalize them. And really, at the end of the day, |
| 1:52.0 | Florida and Michigan still showed up to the convention. So honestly, I just think it's a really bad |
