brutal Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Nothing honourable about delegates going against voters wishes. The same people celebrating this would be crying if Trump/Republicans attempted this for a general election. 2 1

This shouldn't be celebrated.

Biden "won" the primary by avoiding debates and the media is complicit in a coverup of Biden's mental decline, Florida even cancelled any real primary. Sorry, but the primary would go differently if held today. It's time for Biden to drop out of the race gracefully, because half of his party doesn't have faith in him anymore. 6

The same people celebrating this would be crying if Trump/Republicans attempted this for a general election. There were literally calls by liberals for delegates representing PA, MI, and WI to defect and object to certifying Trump won in 2016. And several delegates ended up becoming faithless electors. The main difference being state laws made it so faithless electors are largely invalidated when it comes to the electoral college. Primaries are not government sanctioned. We learned this from 2016 when the DNC argued in court it had no legal requirement to support whoever is voted the nominee by party members (when accused of tipping the scale in Clinton's favor against Sanders) and that political parties under law are essentially just private organizations that can do as they please. That primaries are theater. Performance. There are laws about when political parties most officiate their nominees to get them on ballots but not laws concerning how this process is ran.

CNN has basically become Fox News 2.0. 4 minutes ago, nadiamendell said: Are the voters' wishes in the room with us right now? There is yet to be a poll conducted where the results state a majority of Democratic voters think he should drop put. Numbers range from 33% to 45% which is embarrassing, but statistically means a majority of Democratic voters are still fine with him remaining the candidate, so yes any rogue delegates will be going against voters wishes. 4 1

The media is being honest about Biden's mental state, which 7/10 voters believe makes him cognitively unfit for office. If he can't even debate Trump it's hard to argue he is a strong candidate, but I'm sure down ballot Democrats realize this and will push for an open convention to field a better candidate. If he only has half of his own party on board then what percentage of Independent voters do you think he is convincing?

So you support random delegators voting whoever they personally "feel" should be the nominee?

WildAmerican Posted July 8 Posted July 8 i think they are legally obligated to vote for Biden if he won them, so this is not real/misinformation

Communion Posted July 8 Author Posted July 8 5 minutes ago, on the line said: So you support illegitimate practices. Again, party primaries are not legally sanctioned or regulated. A political party is not a government entity. It is in practice a social club. Just like Obama called on half the field to drop out to hand the nomination to Joe, it's time for Joe to be called on to drop out and hand the nomination to Kamala.

I'm not insisting on anything. I specifically said I'd vote for the Democratic nominee. I'm just fully prepared for that to still, unfortunately, be Joe Biden, and, in that case, I'm not going to sit here trashing him and making him weaker than he already is when that would do me no good the day after the election. Emotional maturity isn't a strong characteristic of many posters here. Or the ability to understand nuance. Clearly. 3
