3. Ditch the exclusionary caucus as our first contest.

Iowa's nearly all-white event disproportunately influences polling and fundraising for the following primaries and thus has way too much impact on which candidates continue on—and the delegate count is small as well for all tye hype it gets.

The same can be said for New Hampshire.

I'm certainly not the first to say this. Let Iowa continue on with it's antiquated caucus and New Hampshire with it's primary, just don't let them be first as they don't reflect the demographic of the Democratic Party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
