TLDR:
Biden didn't register because he already told us we don't get a primary.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sort of. The DNC wanted to move the South Carolina primary up to be before New Hampshire, but New Hampshire has a law requiring their primary to be first. The DNC said if they scheduled their primary before the South Carolina primary, the results would be invalid.
New Hampshire still wanted to be first, so they scheduled ahead of South Carolina.
The DNC followed through on their threat and took away New Hampshire's delegates.
Biden refused to register in a demonstration of support for the DNC (of which he is ostensibly a leader).
The results won't matter, but this year there isn't much doubt about who will be the nominee. It will be interesting to see what happens in 2028 when there isn't an incumbent President in the primary. If neither side relents, New Hampshire Democrats won't have any say in their nominee. But New Hampshire rarely picks a winner, anyway, so maybe people just won't care?
Democrats want red states to pick their nominee, and New Hampshire isn't red enough. Plus, they want to reward South Carolina for 2020.
Not to mention, Democrats want to maintain the normalization of the arbitrary fuckery they use to shut out progressives.
Sounds more like Biden didn't want NH to have the first primary, and neither NH nor DNC would budge, resulting in this absence.

Lol what an insult
