    So Kamala is put in without being chosen by democrats?
    No primary, no voter input at all, Ilegal backroom deals that circumvent voter laws and the constitution.

    Why aren't voters outraged?

    Because democrats don't legally bind delegates, and supreme court precedent for national party rules taking precedence with respect to delegates.

    Biden was the presumptibe nominee until the DNC convention, just as Trump was the presumptive nominee before the RNC.

    What laws were broken?

    Rules not followed, Kamala is not an incumbant presidential candidate,
    therefor should be primaried, there are several Democrats that would like a shot.

    Seems wrong that the people have no choice here.

    Not illegal. The big dog in the room gets the vote through all sorts of "unfair" means before the convention -- on both sides.

    "Demanding" that Biden step down for no legal reason, trying to impeach
    Kamala Harris - it all seems like a desperate ploy to get the speaker of

    There are good reasons to have Joe step down, how can he run a country if he's menally incompetent?
    and Kamala the so callled border tsar who let 10 million Ilegal Aliens into the country is good reason to impeah her.

    I heard when Biden announced he dropped out of the race, he only said he thought it would be in the best interest of the country to focus on his current presidencial tasks, and he didn't say why he's dropping out. I've heard speculation that while it may be obvious to most people, if he said he dropped out because of his health issues, that would mean he's probably not even fit to be president right now.

    I think it is very clear he stepped down willingly, for a very flexible definition of "willingly".

    I mean, you don't willingly announce 10 times that you are not stepping down, while half your supporters and allied media have turned on you and are demmanding you quit, and suddenly you declare yourself sick and say you are eventually not running.

    IMO the whole thing was staged from the get go. Somebody in the party wanted to get rid of Biden so they let him participate in the debate, knowing it would cause his removal due to preasure.

    I have heard several names floated of Democrats that other Democrats are interested in but, so far, I have not seen any of those potential
    candidates actually say they want to run.

    Do you know of any who've said they want to challenge Kamala at the
    convention?

    Seems wrong that the people have no choice here.

    It does, but it has happened before. Look up the 1968 DNC. In 1968, LBJ stepped out of the race after winning the New Hampshire primary but also realizing he was polling badly in other states. His VP, Humphrey,
    ultimately inherited his delegates and his campaign. A couple of months
    before the DNC, RFK was assassinated. He was running second in delegate
    count at the time to Humphrey (whose lead included the former LBJ delegates). RFK's delegates remained mostly, if not entirely, uncommited to any candidate.

    So the Democrats went to their convention in Chicago without a presumtive nominee. A few states were represented by rival slates of delegates so it
    had to be worked out which slate for those states would be seated.

    Ultimately the frontrunner, VP Humphrey, was nominated.

    I don't see a rival delegate situation happening here (although it still could). Sounds like most state Democrat parties are pledging their
    Biden delegates to Harris, in part because she is the only one who can
    legally take over his already collected campaign funding. Any other
    candidate would have to start over raising funds.

    he's very sick now and i think covid affected his mind this time and he can't go on longer.

    they made the decision for him. dude was not going to step down from running. once obama said he should rethink shit that's when the plan was set in motion. biden had nobody on his side.

    I think biden might be in a hospital bed right now hooked up to a ventilator.

    during the debate i think whatever drug cocktail they give him didn't work and that didn't help things either.

    For what it is worth, not long before the assassination attempt, Trump requested that the RNC remove the anti-abortion plank from the party
    platform. They did so.

    That doesn't erase the recent past but it is an interesting move.

    Unfortunately, she is polling well with Gen Z (who apparently see her as

    makes her appealing) and is ahead of Trump in some polls.

    So you are saying she won't run? Assuming she won't win is dangerous. 20,
    or less, years ago most people would never believe that Trump or Biden
    would ever be President and yet here we are. She could unfortunately be
    the next "no way!" on the list.

    So Kamala is put in without being chosen by democrats?
    No primary, no voter input at all, Ilegal backroom deals that circumvent
    v laws and the constitution.

    Breaking news: nothing in the US Constitution dictates how candidates for president and vice president are chosen.

    Republicans always talk about the "good old days" and how they want to take America back to how it was in the mid-20th-century.


    None of them realize what they'd be giving up. The modern primary system started in 1984. A primary system existed prior to that, but as recently as 1968, candidates were selected that did not win the popular vote of the people. Hubert Humphrey won over Eugene McCarthy, Humphrey was not an announced candidate during the primaries.


    I guarantee that most people don't understand how the primary system works in this country.

    But they have to be from different states technically. And be of particular ages.

    You're not wrong! But it's silent about the candidature process specifically.

    Yeah, you'd think the democrats being screwed over by the process would be complaining about it, instead of republican pundits and self-proclaimed constitutionalists.

    In all seriousness, I actually wouldn't expect many/any who were planning
    to vote for Biden to really complain or even care, even if there is
    something wrong with how it happened. All they care about is keeping the
    Bad Orange Man from being President again.

    Just like most MAGA Republicans don't care if Trump is guilty of any
    felonies or not. They just want him to be President again.

    Unless I'm mistaken... (Article 12)

    The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

    -- the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate
    and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; -- The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;

    and if no person have such majority, then from
    the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.

    -- The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

    Here's the sad thing...

    1. Those "crimes" were NOT Federal. they were CIVIL. Bragg turned into Federal matters, which by definition, he has NO MERIT in prosicuting them. He's CIVIL not FEDERAL.

    2. How many others in NY have done the same thing and were NEVER taken to task? HE WAS MADE THE EXAMPLE. Why? Because he's RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. That's why hay don't go afer Joe Blow. He's "little fish", while bagging the whale, would look great on your resume.

    3. As they spend all this time and money on Trump, NYC is dying. Fuck the shitizens, let's go after a "bigger target". I'm from NY, and right now it's a SHITHOLE. All these ILLEGALS need to get DEPORTED.

    Breaking news: nothing in the US Constitution dictates how candidates for
    president and vice president are chosen.

    Unless I'm mistaken... (Article 12)

    [... snip ...]

    That dictates how the President and Vice President are chosen. not how CANDIDATES are chosen.

    "Primaries" weren't the primary thing until about 1960. JFK had such overwhelming support with primary elections that he was able to get first ballot nomination at the convention. However in 1968, even though Eugene McCarthy won the most primary votes, Hubert Humphrey won the delegate count. Humphrey wasn't even on 17 of the primary ballots.

    after the clusterfuck that was the 1968 primary, the modern primary era of "binding primaries" began. However, this is not "law" but rather rules adhered to by each party on the state and national level.

    The DNC and the RNC are not government agencies. They can select whoever they want in any way they want as their candidate.

    "The Robot Rule" is what binds delegates to vote for the candidate they were elected to support via the primary. (at least for the Democrats)
    Rule 11(H): all delegates to the convention are "to vote for the
    presidential candidate whom they were elected to support for at least the
    first convention ballot, unless released in writing by the presidential
    candidate."

    I'm pretty sure that's why Biden posted a letter of withdrawl rather than just making a speech about it. (insert joke about Biden's inability to speak here)

    No laws are stopping a political party from organizing a Caber toss to pick their candidate.

    If members of the Democratic Party are upset with how Kamala Harris was chosen, they can express that displeasure in multiple ways, including voting for another candidate in the general election, by witholding donations (if they were planning on donating), letters, protests, etc.

    Yes, this is the saddest part. Some have suggested that the Trump
    prosecutions are just a side-show to keep us distracted from other, more important things that are going on. This would have to be one of those
    more important things.

    Wasteful grandstanding. At what cost? People are already sick and tired of the dog and pony show. We can all see right through it. He needs to continue in order to "show face" ro his cronies. Quite frankly, as long as Soros is taking in air to his lungs, the madness will continue. If someone needs to take a permanant dirt nap, it's that crusy corpse devil of a man.

    biden might already be on his deathbed. i predict after the election he will pass away 'in his sleep'.

    people have shot video of a biden who is very very tall and they say he's a body double.

    I would love for a re-roll of the primaries where a different Republican and Democrat ran.
    Dean Phillips versus Ron DeSantis. That would be a race of two men with integrity than the other
    three people. (Trump/Harris/Biden).

    Does biden's endorsement even matter to anybody but the rabid democrats with tds? i swear someone is going around in a biden mask to keep up appearances. I'm sure after the election he will have 'passed in his sleep'.

    there's this video on instagram where this guy is showing off a mission impossible style latex mask and it looks very real if you have sunglasses on.
    that's what i think of when they show biden getting off a car and going
    into an air plane.
