It's a shit sandwich.

But changes to the rules to say no more shit sandwichs will just be ignored.

But then we get Vance

If Trump dies in 2026 then there are 10 constitutionally valid years of Vance ruling.

Do you think the Constitution will stay unaltered until 2036?

No, because:-

• Millions are spent primarying incumbents in safe seats.
• DNC officials are not neutral in primaries.
• Neutrality is not codified in the party’s official rules and bylaws.
• DNC officers attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election.
• DNC leadership decides who our primary nominees are, not voters.
• In 2016 party members felt the DNC tipped the primary scales

It may be what lawyers do, but it is not what a democratic system is supposed to do.

If voters decide Jill Stein is what a democrat stands for, she is a Democrat. It's not up to whoever controls the DNC to decide that she shouldn't be a candidate.

No doubt. But those primaries won't feature the candidates people really want to vote for. The few that manage to slip through will be either ignored or derided like Bernie was.

Maybe the US should subsidize more renewable and battery manufacturing inside its borders.

Oh.

*gestures to the lack of a proper DNC primary

Am I out of touch?

No, it's the voters who are wrong.

Was it unclear that by "inside", I meant "inside the DNC".

outside influences were promoting Bernie on social media to create a spoiler effect.

Inside influences were promoting Hillary on mainstream media to create a spoiler effect.

Primary races haven't been fair for decades.

The DNC’s Rules & Bylaws committee is expected to vote on Martin’s proposal next month in a virtual meeting.

DNC lawyers argued that the Democratic Party doesn’t owe anyone a fair process and that it has every right to disregard its own rules or interpret its rules how it wants because it is a private organization.

No problem. I think you've illustrated perfectly how easy it is for airlines to dupe their customers with additional fake charges.

The problem with these debunks is that the "false claim" is adjusted so that it is easier to debunk.

Polio vaccines contain mercury-based ingredients

By specifically focusing on polio it can be claimed this was never true. Remove the word polio and there is partial truth. Some combined vaccines still contain tiny amounts Thimerosal though most don't.

Exactly. I can understand a maximum upper limit, but the cost bands below that are there only to maximise profits.

So all suitcases between 19 and 23kg are loaded by 2 people at a time?

Bullshit. It's a fake cost and everyone knows it.

If I pay an extra €50 to go from 19kg to 23kg, does the worker get paid more?

Thought not.

Are you outside the US?

I also want M&M rewards.

For example, Greenland, Diego Garcia and Okinawa are all leased.
