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.
I've had to explain it to people for years that the primary process doesn't need anybody to vote. All the groups are private entities and not governmental, if they ask their dues paying members or the general public to vote for a candidate they do so because they want to and not because they have to.
furthermore they are all centralist parties (DNC and RNC) at their core and vanguardist for the capitalist class
as always every single accusation is a confession
