Wonderland Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) Tbh I'd kinda stan seeing Marianne crash the convention on her broomstick throwing orbs at everyone and saying she's the rightful nominee by default. It'd be ratings MAGIC Edited July 22 by Wonderland 1

I don't agree with it but your surprise confuses me It's like how Democrats basically cleared the path for Hillary in 2016 or how they discouraged any substantive primary of Biden. It's not really a fair and democratic process if challenging them will ruin your future in the party and is taboo leading to you getting smeared in the media. Now anyone who challenges Kamala will be accused of disrupting much needed "unity" rather than allowing the process to be more democratic and battle testing her. 1 1

Manchin and her will split votes and we will elect Marianne Williamson as the first female POTUS. 15 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: Kamala is not the nominee. Sorry, but the Democratic Party should've allowed a blitz primary to show us who our choices are. This does feel anti-Democratic. @GraceRandolph calling the DNC headquarters to complain about Kamala's "coronation": 3

Communion Posted July 22 Posted July 22 13 minutes ago, NausAllien said: What feels weird about Kamala being all of sudden the Dem nominee is because she was a weird pick for VP. Biden essentially picked someone that got 1% of the votes and didn't even make it to the PRIMARIES. Even Amy Klobuchar would have made more sense. The woman who helped kill George Floyd?? I'm sorry but some of this is political illiteracy. Biden ran as a centrist, moderate, right-wing, etc. Dem. Why would he choose another white centrist Dem as his VP? One who would be more toxic to his polling than Kamala? There's very clear and obvious reasons why Kamala was chosen as VP, even when *I* don't agree with them as a progressive (we championed Karen Bass). The claim by @AlternativeFacts is also counter-factual. Biden first committed to a woman VP. His own top picks based on unconfirmed reports were not black women. Biden likely shifted to committing to a black woman as VP after growing backlash from incidents like his "you ain't black" comment on The Breakfast Club.

There was also Elizabeth Warren, who made a lot of mistakes during the primary (I'll never forgive her for lying about Bernie), but she still had a lot of appeal for progressives, and she was actually doing fairly well for a time in the primaries. Kamala felt so left field because she did horribly and didn't even make it to the primaries.
GraceRandolph Posted July 22 Posted July 22 If Kamala loses to Trump we're not seeing a woman Democratic nominee for the rest of our lifetimes.

If Biden was being smart he would've picked Warren, but VP picks tend to be pretty random nowadays, maybe Kamala will be more strategic.

Yes. Common sense. WE ******* NEED UNITY TO WIN. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? You care more about your ego than the safety and well being of vulnerable Americans. **** that. It's political suicide to be the person fighting against unity. anyways, five states have pledged their delegates to Harris so far.

It's common sense to not battle test your candidate in any way before making them the nominee and then screaming UNITY at the top of your lungs as a means of suppression? We need to hear all voices and we must be sure Kamala is the best bet at beating Trump.
