With not a single vote cast. Ahh what a democracy. So glad Democrats will save us from the man who censors the free press , squashes democracy, and just went through primaries Donald Trump

Agree. As a Dem this is disappointing. I don’t know why we couldn’t have had something like a primary at the convention. However, hopefully we stop talking about saving democracy. That is not resonating, it’s only preaching to the choir.

If her polls don’t improve over the next few weeks, they’ll probably dump her too and give you your wish for an open convention.

We don’t need to rely on polls just look at the fundraising numbers and the amount of unique grassroots donations, and the amount of first time givers and the surge in voter registration. That’s real hard data not polls which are ridiculous snapshot in time and this hasn’t even begun to resonate with the average American. But yeah, let’s give it a couple weeks and see what the polls say I predict a landslide election.

People do not like fascism, but they’re just tired and beaten down and this election was seeming like a slog. Harris now in the race has unleashed, the fury and energy that Democrats have always had but we’re just tired with Biden. He’s been a great president, but we needed fresh blood. With his graciously passing the torch we now have that. Onward!

I'm an Independent, former R ( a long time ago), but if Harris wins, I will be attending the inauguration with my 16 yr old DD.

I may not agree with all of her politics (and I used to live in CA and wasn't that big of a fan of hers), but the fact that the greatest country in the world has finally elected a female, when even 3rd world conservative countries have in the past, is something.

I'm somewhat of a feminist, so yea, I'll go to the inauguration just to see the first female POTUS sworn in.

You can read her website since you clearly have internet access. But to sum up why I’ll be voting for her— she’s running on protecting my right and the rights of my daughters and nieces to access healthcare and not bleed to death in bathrooms or land in the ICU because we’ve been denied basic care.

How is she going to do that? It's a state-by-state basis after Dobbs, and she as president will have no control over the states that have stripped the rights of your daughters and nieces. She isn't Congress and the president isn't a monarch. What is she going to do? The rights are already stripped - Democrats whom I voted for let that happened when they refused to codify Roe.

It's a serious question. How is she going to do that?

She can promise to sign the Women's Health Protection Act if Congress passes it. This in turn will hopefully energize people to vote for Democrats downballot so that a bill can pass and reach her desk.

55% of white women voted for Trump in 2016. He’s good.

What about 2020?

Kamala Harris+DNC raised $81 million in 24 hours.

Of the 888,000 donors who gave to Kamala Harris in the last 24 hours, *60%* made their *first* contribution.

That's roughly *532,800* Americans who went out of their way to donate to Kamala's campaign.

We're gonna crush the fascists. Be scared, be very scared.

What is historic about her campaign?

Nothing . And maybe it’s me but I don’t see her donation numbers as that impressive . Most of the money is transferred money from the Biden campaign.

Ehhhh, try again. You can do it.

We’re hoping that Thomas and Alito kick the bucket so she can appoint new SCOTUS and change the balance again.

Like it or not, women have to prove they can be in control and assertive for top leadership positions. The Head of Secret Service didn’t do women any favors. Neither has the fact that Kamala has passively sat in the back seat while our current President has been mentally and physically incapable of basic skills and said nothing at all. This doesn’t give the impression of assertive or good leader to me.

And he only pulled 42% in 2020. He ain't got this.

And that was before Dobbs

They had bodily autonomy guaranteed by the government in 2016 and 2020. He’s so not good.

NP. It is a shame that we are forced, for the third time in a row, to vote for a bad candidate selected by party bigwigs. Hillary was corrupt and unlikable, Biden too old, and Kamala a ridiculous unlikeable idiot who is in way over her head. I am furious that we don't have an open convention.

Even though Trump should be very easy to beat, we still don't have a candidate who can assure that.
