      According to the DNC’s own lawyers, there’s nothing we can do because they’re a private organization.

      Even if Newsome loses the primary, there’s nothing legally stopping the DNC from making him the candidate in the general.

      It’s insane people aren’t demanding that be changed before it happens. On a long enough timeline, one of the private parties will do it. Just a matter of when.

      Him or Whitmer are the prime candidates should Biden fall. Though if either could win is a whole other discussion.

      Then guess they want Trump to win. Fucking Democrats can’t seem to not keep moving right and catering to Republicans.

        I once heard it described that if Democrats found a magic lamp and got three wishes, they’d negotiate it down to one, and wish for something they think the Republicans would want.
