My Presidential Election Conspiracy Theory | |

I thought the whole point of primaries/caucuses was that registered party members vote for their candidate to run for president. Otherwise, why even have them? The party would just nominate who they wanted. I know in 1968, LBJ stepped down, Bobby Kennedy was the shoe-in to win the nomination. Even after his assacination, they still had to go through with electing a candidate, they couldn't just pick someone (VP HHH was elected as candidate, lost to Nixon in the Presidential Election). |

You may not know this but the DNC is registered as a private "fundraising operation". After the Bernie supporter lawsuit, it was decided that they do not need to follow their own rules. More to the point- You're talking about AAA global criminals; they can do whatever they want unless challenged. We are in unprecedented times with insane COVID-1984 power grabs. They are telegraphing their moves, as well. The Boston Globe had an article with actual war game scenarios for the Western US to secede from the republic. If you even suggested that as a possibility 10 years ago, people would ridicule you and permanently disassociate. |
