Question for democrats

Poll - Total Votes: 30

Yes

I'm not a Democrat

You can only vote on one answer.

I know many democrats are "vote blue no matter who". However, do you feel that the Harris/Walz ticket was forced down your throat? What i mean by that due to the clear and evident lack of a primary you do you fell that you were told this is the candidate and screw your opinion?
And do you feel that this is a threat to the democratic process in America?

You do realize that for most of US history, there were no primaries, right? The first time they were used was in 1972 when both parties used them. That said, people who voted in the primaries selected the ticket of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, knowing that Harris would take over if Joe could not. And the party is united behind Harris. The only people who find this problematic are Republicans, because they can't beat Harris.

@windinhishair Exactly. I think people think primaries are the same as elections for office. Political parties are private entities covered by the Right to Assemble.
