They've perfected the steal of elections... and that's part of it.

Exactly! And if your party refuses to meet your expectations, then you can by all means cross party lines. The only one who controls your vote is you. And no one can take that freedom away from you, no matter what they say

Except what they can do is negate your vote by deciding they don’t like who you chose. Or get illegal aliens to vote thus diluting your vote.

I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again:

If Democrats didn’t like Harris, then she would have no chance winning the election.
And I want to make a statement on “The Democrats hoodwinked their voters by lying about Biden’s condition!” Ever consider that could be projection? I’ve seen Trump’s recent rallies, and he’s a shell of a man with clear signs of dementia. And the MSM refuses to report on it.

Democrats don’t have a choice. They were given a candidate mandate. They didn’t get to select. Talk about threat to democracy.

lol ya you saw Trump, but not Kamala or Joe.

You talk as if we’re forced to vote for Kamala. News flash, any person upset that Kamala got the nomination can put their vote elsewhere, or to no one at all. It’s how it worked in the days before primary votes mattered, and while this situation is by no means equivalent to those, it’s similar enough to draw a comparison.

Any votes Kamala receives in the general election will be from people who either genuinely want her or want to keep Trump out of the White House. And the latter would vote for a piece of Asparagus before Trump, so it’s not like who the Democratic nominee matters much to them. Again, no one is forced to vote for any candidate they don’t want to vote for.

And yes I have seen both Biden and Harris talk unfiltered. And in most speeches and interviews they looked a lot better than Trump does now. But that’s just my opinion as a voter. A voter who’s going to vote for Harris due to my own volition and not because the talking head said so.

Forced? No but your candidate was chosen by the elites not the voters. Thats how democracies do it. The people choose the nominee. Democrats don’t do it that way anymore. That’s because they aren’t really democrats.

I really don’t get why you’re butthurt about this. Like you realize that it took years for that to even be the norm, right? And on top of that, it won’t even matter who “the elites” chose if Trump wins the election. Besides, why are you so upset about a candidate being selected that you would rather go to hell than vote for her? Why does the competitor to your candidate of choice matter so much if your vote is already decided?

Why does democracy matter? Why does a democratic process matter? Open primaries for candidate and let the people elect the nominee is and always has been the norm. Why doesn’t that bother you that that process was usurped and by who?

Open primaries has always been the norm? In what reality? We don’t even have open primaries in my home state. Heck, primaries only became a thing in this country in the 1910s.

Not to mention the fact that unless you live in Iowa or New Hampshire your choices for candidates are narrowed down significantly due to most of them having dropped out after the earliest of primaries. And at the end of that day half of the primary elections mean nothing by design, as the presidency is a winner take all system.

Now for this specific election cycle, be honest, who else was the nominee going to be? There was uproar from both sides, especially on this stream in particular for Biden to drop out, and when he did, the Right had a hissy fit that their wish was granted while the Left united behind Harris. And that’s the key. The Left WANTS to vote for their candidate, regardless of how she got the nomination. And if the majority of the Left’s voter base’s wish for presidential candidate is fulfilled, then who cares how they got there? If the party chooses an unpopular candidate, the voters make that known by not voting for them. And if the voters want more say in that process, they also make that known. But given national primary turnout isn’t even at 50% in any state for both parties, data shows that at the end of the day, we’re all voting for candidates selected by a vocal minority

Open primaries in the early 1900’s and nominating conventions in the early 1800’s. So essentially a group of candidates were voted on. Is some were pushed out in the early voting so what there was still a vote. How about letting RFK or Dean Phillips and the couple others who wanted to challenge Biden for the Nomination go to a vote with Kamala? Why destroy hi dress of years of tradition of candidates being voted on to be “the party” candidate?
0 ups, 3mo
RFK is clearly not interested anymore about being a Democrat nominee. And besides, even if both him and Phillips were interested in running, neither would stand a chance against Harris, and I’d bet good money on that. Maybe if Harris was more controversial you’d have a point but when she has so much universal appeal (amongst Democrats, that is), not only would that be tedious, but also pretty much pointless

The way many Red States are planning to do in the election to suit Trump?

Illegal aliens can't vote in federal elections.

Yet they are registered to do so with thousands removed from voter roles. People can’t cross the border illegally either, but they sure do don’t they.

False
0 ups, 3mo
So no one has crossed the border illegally?
