Democrat Buyer’s Remorse setting in?

Post by Doom »

There are cracks starting to form in Kamala Harris’s coming anointment as the Democrat standard bearer. There are growing rumblings that she can’t win and a bad candidate who has never been tested.


The problem with deciding to throw democracy out the window by stabbing Joe Biden in the back ( he didn’t “withdraw” he was shown the door and told to use it) if that once the precedent is set, nothing is set in stone. If they can dump Joe Biden’s 14,500 votes and just give the nomination to someone else, anything is possible.


When everything is made up and the votes don’t matter, who knows what can happen?
If you ever feel like Captain Picard yelling about how many lights there are, it is probably time to leave the thread.

I'm morally certain that Harris would not have won if there had been a real primary.

Undoubtedly. She was out before Iowa in 2020. That's the hardest part to take.
Thank you for your patience as I build the board. I have about 1/16 to go.

Normally I would agree with you. However, Obama has endorsed her. I can't imagine what could happen now that he would, or could, reverse that. Unless of course, he's lying through his teeth.
