    Up until 5 days ago the only person pushing the talking point that there wasn’t a DNC primary was Donald Trump. Just sayin’

      There were a lot of warning signs that Harris wasn’t doing so well. Democrats just didn’t want to admit it out of fear that would discourage people to vote for her.

      Absolutely not. Plenty of people, a hell of a lot of people, were very bothered by that shenanigan. It turns out that shouting people down instead of listening to them doesn’t win popularity contests.

      A lot of us have been quite vocal about that failing for over a year now. Say what you like but if you’re implying Trump was the only one upset about that you’re dead wrong.

      That’s absolutely not true. I was angry not to have a choice from the start.

      Then, due to some bullshit rules, there wasn’t even an open candidacy vote at the convention.

      Get mad and indignant all you want, but we had no choice this election. It was Biden or Harris. Nothing else was close to viable.
