Isn't it legally too late regardless? Don't they have to have their application and fee in by a certain date?
Legally the party can do whatever they want: https://observer.com/2017/08/court-admits-dnc-and-debbie-wasserman-schulz-rigged-primaries-against-sanders/
Okay you know what? That's it, elections are cancelled until morale improves
You joke, but that's exactly the next step trump will take if elected to secure "president for life" for the federalist society.

The conspiracy theorists all say Joe is supposed to step down and Gavin Newsom somehow is added to the ticket which then will win. These conspiracy theorists also say that candidates are selected in advance by the powers that be and it’s all pagentry to deceive the gullible masses. If this is true, then Joe needs no convincing and this is already decided.
I'd like to know what you're taking so I never take it.
I just had a soda and a vegan burger. So... I guess eat meat and avoid high fructose corn syrup? 🫤
Phew, I ate a beyond burger earlier and I'm still cogent and coherent. Guess it's the corn syrup, just like my dad warned me.
I don't believe this conspiracy theory (or not believe it), I am just saying it exists. But yes, without the corn syrup, I would probably be a better and sexier person.
Then why parrot chafe into the conversation at all?
I am adding it for posterity in case it does happen. I don't believe or disbelieve this, but I have seem "conspiracy theories" proven true later and sometimes it's like people forget the "crazy" people mentioned the truth months or years prior. I want this here so that if proven true, the word "misinformation" will start to be viewed skeptically as the Ministry of Truth word that it is, divorced from science and discourse.
Adding distracting points into the public discourse when people are seeking clarity doesn't seem like a noble goal.
What do you get out of it at the end, the ability to say "told you so"?
What if Kamala does step in due to the very real odds of a medical issue happening, then shall we start believing conspiracy theorists on other points?
My point remains the same, you're occluding understanding of the situation, both currently and in the future, and I don't like that.
Others are occluding discourse by banning discussion as misinformation to control all narratives, then acting as though conspiracy theorists weren't correct. This narrative control is from an elite whose lies are vast enough to occlude the sun.
Overly dramatic verbiage aside, I'm not seeing any discussion here, of utility anyway.
Good day.
Remember when a huge coalition of people wanted RBG to retire? And then she didn't, and those people took it as courage or some such other virtue?
