Comment on How Kamala Harris Took Command of the Democratic Party in 48 Hours
Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 month agoI guess it’s not clear that I’d vote for a literal pile of garbage over trump, but I do not like what I’m seeing. Not at all. And I’ll leave it at that, since anything more is veering further into conjecture.

I’m completely baffled. Like, you saw how much of a fucking shitshow the Biden campaign was, right? How could you see it finally come to an end, with someone who is incredibly competent taking over, and be like: “Waaaah, but muh vote!!!”?? It’s idiotic.

Pardon me for caring about preserving the traditions of our democracy.

Nothing about primaries is part of the constitution. You realize that, right? This entire time, the primary process was just bylaws of two different organizations. And this time, they weren’t able to complete the normal process because the candidate that everybody backed decided to bow out at the last minute. So what is it, exactly, that you’re mad about? Are you mad because you were operating under the illusion that this was somehow a democratic process enshrined in the constitution? Are you mad because the 81-year-old whose ego convinced him that he could totally win again was finally talked out of it? What the hell are you even bitching about?

I’m aware that primaries aren’t in the constitution, which is why I said “this is how it has been done for decades”, and not “this is how it’s been done for 248 years”. I feel like I’ve explained what my issue is. It’s obvious that you guys are totally cool just taking whomever the DNC gives you, even if she’s a former prosecutor who locked up tons of people for marijuana cases and voted against legalization, so totes, I guess. ACAB unless that cop is Harris.
