I'll start off by pointing out that last 3 primaries have been some kind of funny business.

  • 2016: Bernie snuffed by Hillary with shady tactics that lead to the D losing to Trump (lol).
  • 2020: Everyone drops like flies to support Biden (sus, but allegedly because Trump and Covid were bad).
  • 2024: Biden waits until the last second to announce dropping, there seems to be momentum to skip the Primary and go with Kamala Harris.

Assuming everything I've stated is accurate-enough, do you think the average person is likely to feel like this isn't Democracy? Or will this be business as usual for the US? Will the absence of censorship on tiktok be likely change anything?

For this reason, until there is a primary that Kamala wins, I want every mention of Kamala Harris to be prefixed with a formal title like Kamala Harris, the appointed, the unelected, in a similar vein as Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen.

    To be fair, westerners have been conditioned to not even think about any alternative to the status quo, so to them the only choice is the two major parties.

    And when the other party is the GOP you can see how the "lesser of two evils" voters are created.

    Not justifying the vote blue no matter who types, just reminding that the vast majority is condition to be scared to death of revolution, so they hold their nose and that's how we get nerds like Biden. Americans are a sad, scared, brainwashed, oppressed people with a Gucci belt
