That's just not how it works. If New Hampshire decides to put Steamboat Willy on the ballot, only the SC could stop them, maybe. it's kind of up in the air right now apparently.

Realistically, no one wants to give up that sweet national committee money, so they'll probably cave, and it is the rich owning democracy. That's why I kept saying you'd have to light money on fire to get it done, but it could theoretically be done: you just have to grease a lot of wheels.

Just so we're on the same page, each state decides how it chooses candidates to put on the ballot. That's the whole thing going on with DT and the SC right now.

Derived from that power is the president primary, where parties from each state decide who to present as their candidate.

The Democratic National Committee says "Ok, everyone should just submit Biden as the candidate and skip the primary" because that's what they decided is best.

It's now up to the state parties to implement that decision or not. New Hampshire, for example, decided to hold a primary anyway:

But it's politics, so who knows if it'll actually happen. I just want to point out that the national committee doesn't have power over what the states get to do, it's all just a power brokering game.

No primary this year

Well yeah, they already have an incumbent and no one was dumb enough to burn piles of money running a campaign to try and primary that candidate.

DNC influence

Yes, political parties are basically private clubs, you join them, donate money, pledge support etc. They aren't public entities any more than the Dallas Cowboys are. They exist to aggregate money and votes, and they elect their own leaders to manage those resources. If they decide to choose their candidate via tea leaves or throwing bones, no one could stop them, save to elect new party leaders.

I don't know how parties are run elsewhere, but thats how they work in the U.S. They aren't constitutionally codified or defended in any way. They're a shortcut for voters and super popular because they save people time and effort. If someone came up with a better way to all but guarantee votes for a candidate, it would instantly replace parties.

You are 100% allowed to join the DNC, run a campaign against Biden, and spend tons of time and money trying to convince the DNC to give you all their money instead of Biden for a presidential campaign. It won't work, but you can try.

Here's an article about 5 incumbent presidents that got primaried. Spoiler: they all won their primaries

2.5.2 soon.

That's a load bearing "done right".

It's the little things that make it special.

I do not want to be a CFA defender, because they really are shitty, but they have the logistics down to a science. The volume they push through a drive through puts other drive throughs to shame. To directly answer your question, the more they know about what orders are coming, the better prepared they can be. If they know the next 5 cars are ordering nuggets, they can put more nuggets and less patties in the deep fry (for example).

It's terrible of them to make their employees do this shit in the cold and rain though. Just let the line be inefficient for a little bit, it's not like the chicken craving cultists are going to leave the line.

And Popeye's spicy actually is.

Clarence Thomas's Patreon is quite well funded, so it'd be dishonest if he didn't.

Me with enough Doritos and maybe a beer: Never, that's pedantic.
