[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Biden step down and hand Kamala the 47th presidency and she run as the incumbent?[/quote]
If Biden isn't well enough to run, he's not well enough to lead. If Dems were genuinely as excited about Harris as posters here say, they would do this. That would lock in the nomination for Harris. Absent that, anything can happen in an open convention.[/quote]

The convention is purely ceremonial. You get that. Right?  Because the convention is being help after the Ohio deadline and maybe 1-2 others to submit the nominee. And no one trusts Ohio Rs when they say they will make an exception and put the Dem nominee on the ballot despite that, especially now.  So, the actual delegate voting will start no earlier than 8/1 and will be completed no later than 8/7, via a virtual convention. And as of last evening, Harris had well over the number of delegates she needs.  She’ll get the nomination in a virtual vote next week. That plan was announced under Biden when it became clear Ohio might try to keep him off the ballot. And it was announced yesterday that was still the plan. As it should be. I don’t trust Ohio or a red state to put Harris on the ballot.

By the time we reach the convention, she’s been formally nominated for a couple of weeks and already had her name submitted to the states. The convention is just free prime time and speeches and tag rah go team.

Why is the convention so late?  Good question. The incumbent party goes last, and they are programming against the Olympics. [/quote]

They chose television programming over ballot deadlines, and you want me to vote for them with that kind of judgment?[/quote]
Trump tweets our national intelligence details, but you think he has good judgement?[/quote]

No, I don’t.

Moderates, swing voters, independents: you need our votes. For many of us, it isn’t a choice between Democrats and MAGA. It’s a choice between Democrats and staying home.

A lot of us haven’t seen the Democrats do enough to preserve what we care about: ending school shootings, protecting gay marriage from a Dobbs-type overturn, national healthcare, and reforms of so many basic social systems that have become rampantly predatory.  They lost Roe. They didn’t do enough, they took it for granted, and they lost it, and I have zero faith that it won’t happen again. There is no anti-Project 2025 plan from the Democrats. There is a lot of fundraising against its spectre, but no plan.

And we see that if MAGA doesn’t win in 2024, it will only be a stay of execution; we will have Project 2029 instead.

Most of the Democrat voters don’t want to have this conversation, though. They want to assume I’m a MAGA follower for questioning what the Democrats are doing.[/quote]

I don’t know how anyone can in good faith donate to the Democrat Party. They haven’t had any real progressive success since LBJ .

The party is full of navel gazers with tunnel vision. They can’t see the future. Eight years later since 2016, and they’re still harping about Trump ONLY. He should be old news . The more they vilify him, the stronger he gets with public support . He’s sucked up all the oxygen from the Democrat Party and it seems the Dems have nothing to run on for 2028 when Trump won’t even be relevant or running .

It’s a shame. They can’t even in earnest commit to Medicare for All or universal preK or tuition free state college and universities given bachelors degree are the new high school diplomas. The federal minimum wage is still 7.25 from the Bush administration.

This is an outrage [/quote]
