They are going to muddy the waters for a bit for both him and trump and then swoop in with a new candidate last minute, and hope they can convince everyone that both trump and biden are too old and unfit for office. Will it work? Maybe

And most democrat voters somehow don't even realize this. So much for protecting democracy. They ended the democratic process

Harris was always part of the ticket. You spent months bitching about Biden being at death's door. And dogging his Vice President, who we voted for as part of his ticket. Get bent.

I’m a registered democrat and although I don’t agree in totality (or close to) with Randy’s intended message here, I do understand the sentiment and felt some of the same thing he expressed, and still do.

Which is fine and understandable - I’m just not here for election integrity lessons from this particular guy.

I think it would have been unfair if Kamala had not been the torch bearer, as she was already in place and on the ticket. Just as I feel it would be fair if J.D. Vance were hung by republicans instead of Mike Pence when they start the next insurrection.

I think this is the important through-line to draw.

Those who will bleat and drone on and on about Harris’ nomination being “unconstitutional” are the same who supported the white-collar part of the 1/6 coup attempt, which relied on FAR more doubtful legal and procedural theories than anything that has happened with the D ticket - to say nothing of the white collar part of the 1/6 coup attempt being an attempt to ACTUALLY disenfranchise people who voted for Biden.

Don’t forget the almost 4 years it’s been kept in the news cycle as the truth, to the point that it is the (their) truth.

Potentially dangerous times ahead. I dislike even alluding to such things, as it potentially paints me as a conspiracy theorist, etc…but I dunno, some insidious currents of thought in place which won’t really be difficult to mobilize.
