Comment on How Kamala Harris Took Command of the Democratic Party in 48 Hours
Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 month agoYou should probably settle down a little. Yes I know who trump is, which is why I’m willing to vote for whomever they shove in front of us. Maybe read what I wrote again.
Yes I’m serious, selecting candidates through a primary is how elections have been held in this country for decades, whenever the incumbent isn’t running. On that note, if Biden isn’t fit to run for President, then he’s probably not fit to be president either, and should step down now. That would make Harris president, and allay my concerns over a stolen primary. The DNC knew what Biden’s condition was when they insisted that he run again, and we forego a primary election cycle.

It’s not about voters selecting the candidate. It’s about the logistics of setting up a campaign in FOUR MONTHS. These are things that take years to set up) 1(staff, volunteers, offices, funds). Harris has everything ready to roll. What the he’ll do you want???

So, did Biden’s intellect just suddenly collapse on stage, leading to his withdrawal, or was the DNC lying to us about his mental competency during all these years it took to set up his campaign? Did they always have this planned, or were they hoping to push a candidate through who they felt wasn’t actually capable of performing his duties? On that note, if he’s unfit to continue his campaign, then he’s probably unfit to continue his presidency too, and should just hand the reigns to Harris now. The whole thing stinks. Yes, vote trump into oblivion, but that doesn’t mean we need to like what happened.
