      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.

      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.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “I’m here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page, of renewing our friendship and reengaging (on) foundational and fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in the future,” Newsom said in brief opening remarks ahead of his meeting with Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, earlier in the day.

    Though Newsom was in China to promote cooperation in curbing climate change, Chinese officials took the opportunity in welcome speeches ahead of the closed-door meetings to talk about U.S.-China relations.

    They also talked about fentanyl, a synthetic drug and leading killer of young people in the U.S., and China’s role in combating the transnational shipping of precursor chemicals, Newsom said.

    At a speech at Hong Kong University on Monday, he promised to continue to cooperate on climate change regardless of the outcome of the next U.S. presidential election.

    The governor met as well with the head of China’s National Development and Reform Commission, a Cabinet-level agency responsible for economic policies.

    Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled to China to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions.
