Nice dodge of the question you were asked. Also, you are engaging in a bit of gaslighting here yourself. The Democratic party had primaries this year, you can read about them here if you are really suffering from early-onset dementia. barfo
But people who voted for Biden don't get to change their vote. He disenfranchised them in a very real way. They weren't voting for Biden-Harris (whereas, money often was given to the ticket as a whole). It's all part of the process, but for a party that has claimed they're the only hope for democracy in our country, it's ironic that this will be the least-democratic major presidential nominee since... gosh, I don't even know. The modern era started in 1984 or so, but I don't know the last time a Dem or GOP nominee will have received fewer votes in the primary process.
I like Kentucky’s Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro either as Presidential candidates or VP selection. If either would have been in a real dem primary they would have been very competitive.
Mountain, molehill. I've been voting for 39 years, registered Dem for most of them although I vote for candidates from both major parties and independents. Biden and Harris essentially are the same. He threw his support to her. His supporters aren't going to have to hold their nose to vote for her. I voted Biden in the primary and wanted this handled better, but I have no problem with my "vote not counting." I'd have a bigger problem if the lunatic traitor on the other side got back in the WH and wrecked our country. This is just more of that where we see Democrats being measured by perfection while MAGA can do literally anything and gets enabled because "well, it's Trump, what do you expect."
But, not a novel or unfair or illegal way. Candidates have withdrawn before. Candidates have died. And, of course, some voters don't get their choice from the primaries because they get outvoted, either within their own state, or by people in other states. barfo
If it were up to me, we'd have a national primary around Labor Day to pick the candidates, and then 2 months of campaign, and then the election. There's no justification for a year-plus-long election cycle. Other countries seem to get along without it. barfo
Incumbent presidents are often allowed by their party a free, or virtually free, path through the primaries. In 1984, Reagan faced only token opposition from Harold Stassen in the primary. Ronnie got 6.5 million votes to around 12,000 for Stassen. George W. Bush, like Biden, faced no opposition in the primary for his second term. I hope the Democrats learned that there is a danger in this practice. Had Biden had to debate Democratic opponents in a primary, his aging issues would likely have been exposed in time for a better candidate to have been selected by the voters.
I've been saying this for years...most countries take from 6-8 weeks to run an election and ours seems to start from the 3rd year of the term and all through the last term..couple years and a gazillion dollars. By the time a president is sworn in from an 18 month long campaign, they're burned out already.
I'm not the only one to notice this effort to rehabilitate Mitt Romney, right? Aaron Sorkin has an article on the NYT about the Dems nominating him in some dream sequence at the convention. How much weed would I need to smoke in one sitting to forget about Bain Capital? I assume I'm going to have to bust out the dab rig, at least.
This. Candidates get delegates in primaries and realize they can't win and withdraw every presidential election and then endorse someone still in the race.
Morman women cannot go to heaven unless they are married to a Mormon man. Let's keep cults/religion out of politics.
So who is Biden going to kill? He's got the Supreme Court ruling and if Harris doesn't win the presidency he could also resign the week before his term ends and she could pardon him. He could go out as a total gangster!
Also, in the last week of his presidency, he should make up a project name and issue pardons for it to people like the Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer, toss out like 50 names for something like Operation Rabid Dog, and let the Magas go insane.
