Ummmm, you realize the Dems just stepped over the "democratically" elected nominee.

Threat to democracy? You mother fuckers just subverted it.... for realsies.

No irony here.... at all? Nothing?

Not really. I'd agree if the primaries were legally binding but they aren't.

Yeah, Joe Biden just released his delegates. The delegates are going to the convention to elect a nominee and they will.

But if you'd like to make this system more democratic, I'm here for it.

It starts with abolishing the electoral college and moving to ranked choice voting, but conservatives don't like this because it means that more often than not they lose.

I can't speak to the legality so I won't. But these same party elites who wouldn't allow a serious primary challenge and lied for years that Joey is as fit as an ultramarathoner, forced those 14 million party voters to cast a ballot for Joey. Just fast tracked him to hospice.

You think any of those 14 MM that took off from, went in early or got home late to support "their guy" aren't the slightest bit bent? You think they are feeling all that democracy now.

Ok then.

That changes nothing. If anything, you should fucking hate them even more. This cunt couldn't make it to Iowa in '20, polling numbers were worse than Joey or Trump for 3 years, Border Czar...right.

These people all of a sudden love her, she's the best... you don't hate these fucking ppl enough.

I can't relate to any of you any longer. At least with the Proud Boys at the range,,I'll get to breakout some of my sweet Hawaiian Shirts!

This is how people (whose homes aren't bombed) become radicalized.

Something like 75-80% of polled democrats wanted this so I think the party is safe right now. In fact I think they're actually doing the right thing.

I'm too stupid and obviously don't have the vocabulary. The team that has been screaming "THREAT TO DEMOCRACY" for years and years and years just showed all of us that voting doesn't matter.

Which is not news to me. But for you (in general) to give them a pass because there is a "D" after their name is the ultimate hypocrisy.

And if you and MB refuse to at least admit that, then shut the fuck up about whatever fuckery went on with the votes in 2020.

No, that's not what happened. If Biden was nominated at the convention, officially, then dropped out, and shadow government picked the successor, I'd have issues. But right now the lag between the primaries and the convention is working as intended. That is that if anything happens that makes the incumbent incapable, or appear incapable of doing the job, there is a legally recognized and acknowledged process for choosing a new candidate.

The fact that it rarely happens is more a testament to the fact that we don't shoot each other that often than anything else.

Also, Trump was contesting a national general election in which he mathematically lost the EC, not a primary amongst his own party or even being overlooked in favor of someone else. That was a fucking shite question.
