[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it disconcerting that everyone is on board with a candidate that was anointed by the donor class, not the people. No matter how you slice it, this just isn’t representative democracy. [/quote]

I keep seeing this argument (almost like there’s a coordinated campaign to promote it, so weird), and it just does not resonate for me. She was literally already on the ticket. [/quote]

It’s like the twilight zone around here. I can’t believe this needs to be explained… On the ticket as VP, not President. Imagine if we’d had open primaries? Imagine if Biden’s state had not been intentionally hidden from the people for the last 2 years? That in and of itself is something we should be fuming about. This just isn’t how democracy is supposed to work.  [/quote]

Although I don’t necessarily agree that “Biden’s state was intentionally hidden for two years” — but I understand that’s what people believe to be true.

But yes - she was not elected in primaries as a presidential candidate. She was not elected in primaries as a vice-nominee, either.

The GOP absolutely will make hay out of this.[/quote]

Donald Trump endorsed the cancellation of his own party's state primaries, pushed out critics within his own party, refused to participate in primary debates, and has generally failed to engage in transparency and good faith with party leaders.

VP Harris clinched a majority of delegates through a transparent process in which those state delegations, not the Harris campaign, endorsed her after she and her staff did the work of meaningful outreach and listening to critics--for many years now, not just the past two days.

We are not humoring this ridiculous conversation. Just because VP Harris quickly consolidated enthusiastic support on the strengths of her own merit as a candidate and the trust that state and local leaders have in her as a leader does not mean she was "coronated."

Democrats want a public servant. The GOP wants a king.[/quote]
