Democracy?

@jon-nyc said in Democracy?:

It’s like “People’s Republic of ….” or “Democratic Republic of …”.

It’s not what they say, it’s what they do.

Yes, but the Dems have been making a much bigger stink about the sanctity of Democracy the last 24 months. The republicans are always the ones pointing out that it’s representative democracy… So this will stink of hypocrisy.

Also they didn’t force him out, they talked him into doing it for the good of the country and the party both.

LOL.

[jon-nyc]

You can laugh, doesn’t make it any less true. (I get that your idea of what’s good for the country and Joe’s diverge somewhat).

[Jolly]

If we were doing what was good for the country, The Resident would have left over a year ago...

The Dems are in it for power. That's why they stabbed Biden with multiple knives like murdering Caesar.

And if they'll do that to the man that got 81M votes last election and won over 95% of his party's delegates, wonder what they'll do with the MSM and the voting booth?

[jon-nyc]

These arguments fall flat to me. We didn’t have a fucking primary. No party of an incumbent has had a real primary since 1980.

[Jolly]

Well, no more retail politics or trudging through the Iowa and New Hampshire snow.

I heard someone mention a post-debate poll that said 75% of democrats wanted someone other than Biden.

The GOP has had weeks to plan for this. You’d think they could have come up with a better talking point than ‘this is an anti-democratic coup’.

The Trump campaign dropped the first commercial criticizing Harris within the first hour or so.

[Mik]

And Harris had her fund raising website up before the ink was dry on Joe's letter.

In all fairness, I’m sure this isn’t how Kamala wanted this to go down. I’m sure she wanted him to win reelection.

And then have to step down in February of 2025…

You sir, are right.

[Mik]

Why should she want to have to run? I'm sure the 2020 primary is front and center in her mind.

[George K]

If Kamala is the nominee, and if she wins, she will be the mouth and face of the Democrats until 2032.

I understand that Obama has not yet endorsed her.

[Mik]

I'm not surprised. If I read the tea leaves correctly, most Dems do not believe she's a real improvement over Biden. No sizzle, lots of historical fizzle.

If President Biden had indicated a year ago that he was not going to run for election, I really doubt that VP Harris would be the nominee today.
