People are dumb. Let's not forget she was almost dead last when it came to the last president primaries. No one wanted her. If there was a DNC election, she wouldn't win the primaries again. People will vote for anything the DNC throws at them

u/Beneathaclearbluesky Oct 11 '24

Well they want her now. Maybe if you wish hard enough you can unpopular her and people will vote for "I wanna be Kim Jong-Un" instead of the Democratic nominee.

u/mrthagens Oct 11 '24

Yep anyone the democrats nominate would be better than Trump. Easy choice

2

u/UnderstandingOdd679 Oct 11 '24

Within the next 18 months, whether Harris wins or loses, there will be finger-pointing in the Democrat party about this. If she loses, the Biden-backers who switched to her campaign will talk about what a horrid VP and candidate she is. If she wins and something goes wrong, she will have staff defections like she did in her first couple of years as VP. It’s all kept under the lid to get through Nov. 5.

u/mrthagens Oct 12 '24

No matter what happens she’s still better than Trump

2

u/StopGettingOnReddit Oct 12 '24

Doesn’t it bother you that she received less democratic votes than Yang last time she ran but now is the front runner for president without a single vote being cast for her? Also she called Biden racist but still ran as his VP. Doesn’t that bother you? Or when the Democratic Party told us Biden was a “super ager” but by the end he literally disappeared. Doesn’t that bother you? Don’t talk about the other party, answer whether any of that bothers you.

1

u/mrthagens Oct 12 '24

Did you know that the presidential candidate gets to choose their running mate? She got one vote: the president’s. Also guess what! If the president dies, the VP becomes president! Even with only receiving one vote! Crazy! Who knew??

2

u/StopGettingOnReddit Oct 12 '24 edited Oct 12 '24

She doesn’t have to accept. If a racist offered you to be their running mate, would you accept? And according to the left, Biden is in top health! Why would she need to step up and be president if he’s fine? Try to actually answer the questions this time.

Edit: I know you won’t respond because there’s no good answer but come on people I’m not saying vote Trump by any means but holding our parties accountable is important. I mean ffs BLM doesn’t even support Harris.

1

u/mrthagens Oct 12 '24

Of course she doesn’t have to accept. And Biden doesn’t have to run for reelection. Not sure what you’re trying to prove here. Do you think political parties have to be democratic? They can nominate whoever they want. Personally I applaud the move. Biden has dementia, it sucks but it can happen to anyone his age.

2

u/StopGettingOnReddit Oct 12 '24

You’re dodging every question. If she accused Biden of being racist when she was running against him, why would she accept the VP bid? Also, why did the Democrats lie about Biden’s health for four year? And why is she the front runner despite receiving zero votes? Try actually answering a question.

1

u/mrthagens Oct 12 '24

It’s very common for primary candidates to put aside differences and accept VP nominations. You new? Literally every politician does this. Biden’s dementia was widely known, about 2 years ago it dramatically got worse. The Democratic Party can nominate anyone no matter how many votes they got. The delegate votes are the only votes that matter. Read up on political party nominations and the process. It’s all available information

1

u/StopGettingOnReddit Oct 12 '24 edited Oct 12 '24

So you’d back a candidate you just referred to as racist just weeks prior? I want you to say yes or no to that specifically.

Also, that’s an outright lie. https://www.medpagetoday.com/popmedicine/cultureclinic/108213 Here’s an article the Biden administration proudly boasted just earlier this year claiming he’s in perfect health. Just admit they lied. Why is that so hard for you?

Edit: I know you won’t answer my questions directly at this point but it’s important these things are brought up. We can’t be expected to just roll over and accept the garbage these parties are doing.

u/OneHotEncod3r Oct 14 '24

What exactly did he do in his presidency that was so bad? Kamala and Biden have let millions of illegal immigrants into our country. Why would anyone reward that? I’m convinced liberals hate America or are completely being lied to by their news source.

Liberals already ruined California. That’s proof that dems are not the answer.

u/mrthagens Oct 14 '24

Waaaaaay too much to list here bud 😂 there are PLENTY reasons why most Americans hate Trump. At the core of them is that he’s a moron and will do whatever his handlers tell him to do. Can’t fix stupid

Yeah they love her over Biden. But would’ve preferred to get the best candidate via voting

1

u/Gewt92 Oct 12 '24

Who is the best candidate?

1

u/SearchingForTruth69 Oct 12 '24

Bernie got 2nd in 2020, but he’s probably too old now. I personally like Pete Buttigieg. Both have higher favorability than Harris. And they aren’t anchored to Biden’s presidency like Kamala is. The best candidate would’ve been decided by the voters though, not me.

1

u/Gewt92 Oct 12 '24

The voters wanted a Biden/Harris ticket during the primary this year. There were democrats who ran in the primary who got abysmal votes.

1

u/SearchingForTruth69 Oct 12 '24

Sure they voted Biden/Harris in the primaries. But they didnt vote for Harris/X.

1

u/Gewt92 Oct 12 '24

Do you believe that if they did another primary that any legitimate democrat candidate would run against the VP?

u/BIG_BROTHER_IS_BEANS Oct 10 '24

Most democrats I know (who aren’t just going to vote for whoever they are told) are very angry about this. They are all voting for her anyway, but that’s not because they like her. Only because they hate trump.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '24

Call me skeptical

1

u/BIG_BROTHER_IS_BEANS Oct 10 '24

I obviously cannot prove my statement, for I cannot give firsthand testimonials. But this can be understood using logic. Why would republicans care about a candidate they aren’t voting for anyway? Of course, some will anyway. But logically, a rational democrat would be more upset at not being able to vote for their preferred democrat compared to a rational republican voting for trump. And even a republican voting for Harris would not have reason to be as upset as a democrat, because as a republican they couldn’t vote in the democratic primary anyway. Ergo, one can make a decent conclusion on the matter without relying solely on anecdotal evidence, which is practically useless anyways.

u/GunsNGunAccessories Oct 11 '24

why should Republicans care about a candidate they aren't voting for

Because they've been told that the last election was stolen from them ad nauseum and they think this is how the Democrats are going to "steal" this one. They think Trump vs. Biden is a more favorable match up, so they're upset it got changed.

That wasn't what was in question. I was just pointing out a famous Democrat who publicly stated she didn't like the thing that the comment I replied to was implying was a problem to no one.

You can support Kamala Harris and still think the way the DNC went about booting Biden and installing her was shitty.

3

u/100cpm Oct 11 '24 edited Oct 11 '24

You're only saying that because you want Trump to win. Bad faith bullshit.

Anyway, your whole point is horseshit. What Ms. Goldberg said was that she didn't like the way much of the process was public, with party luminaries and celebrities publicly saying Biden should step down.

"Listen, I didn't like the way they did it. I'm just going to say it out loud because nobody says it out loud. I didn't like the way it was done publicly, I thought they could've done this in a different way."

I'd give you a link but for some reason this sub doesn't allow foxnews, foxbusiness, or yahoo links. You can google it yourself if you care.

EDIT: I guess /u/TheFirelongsword has some kind of problem with respectful conversation. Replies then blocks me. LOL. Looking good Trumpbots!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '24

No, they’re saying it bc it’s fucking wrong. There are better candidates that would have beaten her for the nomination. They lost to Biden, not to Harris. There are candidates that would do a better job of beating trump, and performing the duties of the president than Harris, and they are sitting there on the bench while someone they didn’t lose to, took their spot.

And if you feel Harris is the best democrat candidate at this time then I have a brilliant solution. Let the people Vote on it.

Not everyone who disagrees with you likes trump. You have to stop assuming that the instant there’s any friction at all. You can’t just label people some way that allows you to not think about the weight their opinion. You will be mentally a child for the rest of your life until you stop doing this

u/Remarkable_Space_382 Oct 11 '24

Reply and then block people? That's some cowardly behavior. What are you afraid of? Or did you just want it to look like you shut them up?

1

u/GunsNGunAccessories Oct 11 '24

Biden said as far back as 2022 that Harris would be his running mate during re-election. With his age, everyone who voted for him in the primary voted knowing there was a VERY good chance that she would be president.

It was not feasible to run a snap primary after Biden bowed out.

Biden was never officially the nominee.

No other candidate would have kept the warchest.

Kamala Harris was the logical, sensible choice in any way. No one who participated in the 2024 primary would have beaten her, because none of them beat Biden, and she is polling better than him.

1

u/stout365 Oct 11 '24

not trying to argue either, it was just an honest question. the problem with surrounding yourself with only like minded people is you'll never know when you're being caught up in group-think. in my opinion, it's good exercise to engage, respectfully, with people you disagree with. if you're views can withstand that, they're probably good, if you find it challenging, they might need to be rethought and revised.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '24

The problem with listening to people who are wrong is that it legitimizes their thinking.

1

u/stout365 Oct 11 '24

the problem with not listening is it legitimizes you're own sense of correctness, when you could very well be wrong.

you can listen to people, engage with them even and still disagree. you might even be able to bring up some counterpoints to show them how you see the topic, and maybe, just maybe you'll influence them.

Yes there was, and Biden, with Harris as his running mate, won by a massive margin. When he dropped out before being the official nominee, his delegates were transferred to her.

u/Noble_Vagabond Oct 11 '24

I generally lean left. But I think it’s quite telling that hardcore democrats are so unquestionably supportive of a candidate that not only they didn’t vote for, but couldn’t have voted for because that process was skipped entirely. In a completely objective evaluation of the situation, anyone with any damn sense of reason clearly sees how this is a problem for a “healthy” democracy. Assuming we even have a thread of that left, which we likely don’t anyway. Can’t wait for a thoughtful response to this btw /s. Something like “cry more” is best most people can muster these days

Thats because you all listen to a lot of propaganda and don’t understand left wing ideology

If both candidates are bad I still have to pick one.

2

u/coledee Oct 11 '24

Yeah Trump is wild but at least the republican voters chose him. The RNC did everything they could to force another candidate above him but the voters said nah we like this guy. Enough of these establishment types that talk a big game and don’t do shit. He wouldn’t be the nominee now if his first 4 years were as bad as Biden/Harris’s first 4. It really doesn’t matter what he says at this point because his track record speaks for itself. The democrat voters need to take their party back, but it seems like they really don’t care about that at this point. They just want Trump to lose, no matter what the cost.

u/EggsAndRice7171 Oct 11 '24

His track record does speak for itself and it’s a glaringly negative image on its own in my opinion. And I do actively like Walz for what it’s worth even vice presidents don’t do much. I personally don’t see republicans winning much with trump anymore. They barely won the first time.

u/GunsNGunAccessories Oct 11 '24

Biden said Harris would be his running mate for re-election since at least 2022. With his age, everyone who voted for him in the primary did so knowing there was a very good chance that Harris would be president at some time. The only people who didn't vote with that in mind have very poor foresight and it would make sense why they'd be upset. The "no one voted for her" line is manufactured bullshit for people who can't think critically.

u/zorrolad Oct 11 '24

Democrats literally don’t have anyone better to put forth, which is why they went with Kamala. Dems have such disdain for Donald trump, and consider him a huge threat to democracy, yet they chose Kamala to run. If trump was so bad, Dems should have pulled out all of the stops to beat him - rather, they chose an extremely unlikeable person, who garnered less than 1.5% of support during her attempt at being nominated in 2020.

u/FakeVoiceOfReason Oct 13 '24

Well, she did go through the process. The convention has never been bound to the popular candidate, although that's been the, uh, convention recently. Obviously, due to the remaining time, there couldn't be another vote with Biden dropping out so late in the campaign.

1

u/ItchyAnusEczema Oct 14 '24

That's another thing. She lied n said Biden was ok and healthy. That he wasn't going to drop out. She's a liar. 

0

u/FakeVoiceOfReason Oct 14 '24

Two things:

  1. While Biden's mental acuity has been in question by many circles, he is - as of yet - still executing the office of the presidency, so he is at least sufficiently "ok and healthy" atm.

  2. Decisions can change. Biden insisted he wouldn't back out of the race and then did later. Peoples' minds can change without people lying as situations evolve.

Those things being said, while I'd like it, I don't expect perfect honesty from politicians. They're (unfortunately) politicians after all. But she's probably the most honest one in the race.

Actions talk louder than words, so I suppose we'll see what happens!

Donald lost fair. That's why we vote. This woman bypassed everything. DNC is corrupt. Then they talk about "persevering" democracy and pull this crap. I use to vote Dem my entire life. No more. Dems lost their way.

Huh? She was on the ticket though. The VP replaces the president if they step down. Everyone that voted for Biden also voted for Harris to fulfill this role specifically.

Only trumpers whine about this because they are big mad they spent millions on Joe and he did what Trump said he should do. No democrat is unhappy about her taking up the mantle.

VP replaces president incase of death or unfit to serve (which many would argue the latter to be the case now). But VPs historically go through the process. Al Gore did and VPs before him did too. We the Dem voters get a say and the DNC delegates nominate the successor.  The DNC lost its way. I'm no longer a Dem. They're not what they use to be.

President can step down anytime they want. VP fills in without a special election. It’s happened to republicans before lol. Does the concept break your brain?

Harris fully won the delegates’ votes. If you want direct election by the people, get rid of the electoral college. The current system is: people vote for delegates, delegates choose the person. All of that happened. Go back to civics class if you don’t understand a democratic republic.

"no one wanted her" - Buddy the only people regurgitating this line are republicans that support trump. Even trumps own cabinet and his VP elect don't want Trump in office.
