The Democratic Process

I'm seeing a lot of concern trolling on the right about how Harris being the presumptive nominee is unfair to the close to 15 million Democrats who voted for Biden in the primary. My own take on this is that since Harris is Biden's VP, the assumption was that if something happened to him, Harris would take over. Well, something happened to him. In fact, technically Biden was never the nominee, just the assumed nominee, as no one will be nominated until the convention (or the virtual convention which will take place earlier to meet several states' filing deadlines).

So I'm asking our conservative SW members, if the way it was done wasn't "democratic," what would you suggest? If nominating Harris at the convention won't be good enough, then nominating anyone else who isn't even in Biden's administration, like Newsom, Whitmer, Shapiro, Pritzker, Beshear, Kelly, etc. won't be good enough either. There isn't time to redo the primaries. So what would you suggest? With all the complaining about this, I haven't seen a single suggestion of how the Democrats could have a "democratic" nomination process.

Bidens poll and popularity was very low before he stepped down. His own party made him step down even Obama was not on his side .
@Fa8393 If he'd wiped the floor with Trump at that debate, nobody would have mentioned him stepping down.

@MarmeeMarch From Donald "Farty-boy" Trump. Even his supporters know.

@MarmeeMarch Trump falling asleep and farting in court was worse.

As a devout Catholic, maybe Biden had an accident in front of the Pope out of excitement. Probably not the first time that's happened. I mean, according to him, he was meeting God's representative on earth. People probably lose control of their bowels in front of the Pope all the time from sheer joy.

@MarmeeMarch It's not a sign of respect to fall asleep in court and fart while awake.

@MarmeeMarch I never said it was illegal for Trump to fart and fall asleep in court. But it does show that he either has no respect for the courts, or no control over his bowels.

@MarmeeMarch You're confusing him with Trump, and for the opposite reason.
