I mean, the voters are doing the nomination!

@volkris@qoto.org oh, friend. It's not that clear cut...

"The party has the freedom of association to decide how it's gonna select its representatives to the convention and to the state party," said Spiva. "Even to define what constitutes evenhandedness and impartiality really would already drag the court well into a political question and a question of how the party runs its own affairs. The party could have favored a candidate. I'll put it that way."

The DNC argued in court that they don't have to listen to voters.

Well right.

And McDonald's is free to ignore customers and start offering hamburgers without hamburger. But they're not going to sell many of those.

And then it all comes down to what voters want, and if voters don't like what a party is offering they won't vote for them, it's all up to the voters.

@volkris@qoto.org seems like the incredibly poor polling numbers of both Biden and trump agree with us here.

Voters overwhelming don't want these guys

@snrub

I think you're right. It will be interesting to see what primaries start to say when people start actually punching their ballots.

I'm pretty annoyed that I expect a bunch of people to vote for Trump not because of Trump himself but as a vote against these charges being brought against him.
