This is false, the DNC has fought in court for the right to overrule the results of the primary. It was litigated in Wilding v. DNC Services Corporation.

Obvious he had a slight cold.
Also obvious he is sundowning.
If we want to prevent President Trump then the DNC needs to switch horses quickly.
Arredondo was taken into custody at the Uvalde County Jail Thursday afternoon, where family members and parents of several victims of the shooting gathered.
Finally, some good fucking news.
If the Israeli war crimes would stop, then there would be no need for Lebanon to attack.
If we "all agree" and do a moonshot construction plan we could have electricity in 8 years. This is a fantasy, tho.
Best case scenario in the real world is operational in 12 years.
In the capitalist hellscape here in the US, a reasonable expectation would be 18-20 years.
20 years also happens to be the lifespan of our wind turbines. In 20 years, all of the currently running wind turbine blades will be in a landfill and new ones will need to be manufactured to replace them.
No reasonable person is suggesting nuclear as a short-term option. It's a long term investment.
Are solar and wind really "clean" energy? Everyone in this thread seems to ignore the costs of these methods.
Every modern wind turbine requires 60 gallons of highly synthetic oil to function, and it needs to be changed every 6 months. That's a lot of fossil fuel use.
Lithium mining for batteries is extremely destructive to the environment.
Production of solar panels burns lots of fuel and produces many heavy metals. Just like with nuclear waste, improper disposal of these toxic elements can be devastating to the environment.
Of course, solar and wind are a big improvement over coal and natural gas. I dont want the perfect to be the enemy of the good, I just want to be realistic about the downfalls of these methods.
I believe, with our current technology, that nuclear is our cleanest and greenest option.
Accurate representation of US veterans.
Why is this news and upvoted now? They have been running these disclaimers for a long time.
I believe they started running disclaimers after Fox, Dominion reach $787M settlement over election claims which happened last April.
Chrono Trigger has all the elements done right- 10/10 music, 10/10 art style, RPG and battle systems that were innovative for the time and are still fun to play today.
But I think what sets the game apart as a timeless classic, a masterpiece, is its deep themes of existentialism. Marle has has a fake persona and a mistaken identity, yet we can still see her real self. Crono, as an avatar for the player, is sentenced to death and spared in the last moments. Robo, after being freed from his original programming, asks "Is this what it is like... to die?"
And that's all just in the first act.
The ideas of Sartre, of Nietzsche, and perhaps most of all "Being and Time" by Heidegger were presented in a way that my 10-year-old self could comprehend and enjoy. But it's not dumbed down for children, my 30-year-old self can still find deep meaning in the narrative and themes.
Plus, time travel is cool.
By "surprise" I assume you mean a capital-friendly, poorly implemented solution that does not solve the underlying problem. All of your examples illustrate this.
The first black president was a war criminal who enacted a right wing agenda.
Gay marriage is likely to be overturned by our billionaire-owned, unaccountable Supreme Court.
Legal marijuana is a patchwork- the best states have inefficient and nonsensical cannabis regulations, and the worst states still have inhumane, draconian punishment.
Despite the small amount of forgiveness, the total amount of student loans owed is rising. Currently we are at a record high of $1.75 trillion in debt.
And as for universal healthcare, the number of uninsured and underinsured keeps rising. The number of deaths due to lack of access keeps rising. And there are many people, like myself, who have had their lives destroyed by medical bankruptcy. The entire system is designed to maximize profit, patient health is a secondary concern.
So in this latest tit-for-tat, the "terrorist organization" precisely targeted a military vehicle.
Then, "the most moral army in the world" responded by dropping internationally banned chemical agent on a few towns.
Everyone here on Lemmy could drastically change their lifestyle and it wouldnt matter.
Chevron et al. will still destroy the planet.
We need systemic change.
