Some California House Democrats don’t want the process to replace the president on the ticket to seem like a Kamala Harris coronation.
It is almost as if it would be better to have actual primaries rather than the DNC choose the nominee. But apparently 2016 taught them nothing.
then, when we all vote for a progressive, the dnc will just nominate a corporate centrist anyway
I love this idea. Open primaries are how it should be. Let the blue team do something dynamic and engaging while depriving the orange guy of his beloved spotlight AND showing the population it is least somewhat self aware.
The problem many of Biden’s detractors had with him was that Harris would be next in line for the presidency.
So AOC is clearly talking about Pelosi then. That is almost shockingly unsurprising.
Well.
A contested convention would put the spotlight on the democrats for weeks. Political journalists would have to change underwear every ten minutes.
Kamala Harris has less chance of winning than Biden does. Nobody has ever been a big fan of Kamala Harris. She’s not popular based on actions or personality, she’s a cop, she’s a woman, and she’s not white.
If the intention is to truly get someone who will win more reliably than Biden, it’s going to have to be another old white guy. Or at least a white guy.
It sucks, but that’s where we are.
I agree it’s not Harris, but to say we need yet another unrelatable motherfucker to replace this already old unrelatable motherfucker is not correct.
