I mean, downvote all you want but they’re right. No one picked Harris except for Joe Biden. The primary was half assed at best, and there was no democratic process to select the Democratic party nominee. You’re insane if you don’t think that Biden’s dementia wouldn’t have surface during an actual primary process. We could have easily avoided this Trump apocalypse if the Democratic establishment let us have a real primary.

They’re not and you’re lying.

The dnc occurred, the reps voted en masse for Kamala.

The reps were nominated by the same process that has happened for over a century. The timeline was different but the process still occurred and you’re lying about it.

The reps that voted for Kamala were nominated in the same fashion as every US election you’ve ever been alive for. It was a televised event where everyone in the party voted and agreed. Stop this bullshit.

Kamala Harris is Joe Biden’s running mate.

Were Biden to have been incapacitated, Kamala Harris would step in for him. We made this choice back in November 2020, and it’ll hold true until January 2025.

Do you expect the Dems to have a contested Primary with less than one month to go until the General? How nice. Everyone will be tearing themselves apart in order to appeal to the various different factions that make up the Democratic Party, weakening each other until the final canidate emerges with a depleted warchest and a whole bunch of bitter people whose favoured candidate DIDN’T win? And assuming Harris, the VP and assumed successor for Biden, doesn’t win this contested primary, has to return the warchest Biden built up?

And Trump will be waiting in the wings, with a building warchest and backers setting up GOTV. Again. Does the far-left WANT Trump to win, because man, that’s what it looks like to me!

Good for you! Pointing out inconsistencies as if they were national truths!

You almost look like you’re pointing out a conspiracy BUT oh I’m so sorry, there is none!

Point to the dnc! Not a png!

Edit: to mention you didn’t vote you just now complained in a way to convince others to not vote. Thats scummy.

(pssst, the downvotes mean the community largely disagrees with you. If we were discussing anything lighter than politics you could just scoff and disagree and claim someone is correct, but that doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of the people you share the world with. Sorry to tell you, you’re wrong and your childish political stance and the subsequent tantrum your ilk throws when called out on it isn’t helping you gain comrades or appear to be any less lost in the sauce. Get better.)

It’s the same thing that brought on the first Trump presidency! The DNC tells you who you will vote for and you will like it!!

DNC supporters have Stockholm syndrome!

Man I’d hate to jump to conclusions but that’s a lot of divisive comments from a 24 day old account.

It’s especially dumb because democratic primary votes overwhelmingly chose Clinton. It was never really a race at all, pretty much from start to finish she crushed Sanders. So this idea that the dnc picked her and everyone was forced to vote for her is just hogwash.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
