Jesus christ you were gonna let us run a guy that was half embalming fluid and now you're all upset that we can't be fucked rigging a primary again?

Harris would be a much stronger candidate if she was chosen by voters, rather than anointed by party insiders. Democrats can't defeat fascism by abandoning democracy.

But if you point this out you're a Russian.

I 100% agree with BLM. It's not a no to Harris, but I am so effin' tired of getting nominees shoved down my throat. The DLC works for the people, not Kamela and Joe.

Can't see any reason for Dems not to hold a primary aside from them being afraid Kamala would actually lose.

DNC: Restoring Democracy by Ignoring Democracy

I strongly disagree, Harris has always been on the ticket.

Two party system is fundamentally broken to start. But its funny because it seems like a bunch of Russian propaganda, claiming its Russian propaganda in these comments.
