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?

I'm registered as a Democrat, but I don't have loyalty to either party. I vote Democrat as long as they're better than the Republicans. If the parties ever switch again, then I'll start voting Republican.

That being said, this is a ridiculous argument. We all knew that Harris was going to be Biden's veep, we all knew that a vote for Biden, who is a thousand years old, was a vote for Harris. Same thing with the Republican ticket. If you vote for Trump, you vote for the possibility that Vance becomes president.

And no, this isn't a threat to the democratic process. The parties are private companies, they can nominate whoever they want. They should have primaries, but they don't have to. What really matters is the general election, which Trump tried to steal last time because he's fascist.

@BohemianBabe We may be mixing up the situation. If you do not believe that Project2025 was a trial balloon for any future tRump administration, i think you had better rethink that. Please read at least some of it and then tell me if you do not believe that this election is an existential one.

@samueltyler2 Like I said, Trump tried to steal the last election because he's fascist. Of course he would sign off on Project 2025, as it gives him unchecked power. Trump would easily take the chance to become a dictator. We all see how he practically worships people like Putin and Xi.

@BohemianBabe Actually, SCOTUS has already given him the greenlight! Once re-elected, he is free to commit any crime as long as it is during his presidency! It is very similar to what happened in Germany in 1939.

@samueltyler2 True, which is really fucking bad, no question. But Project 2025 would make things even worse because it would give Trump the ability to pass legislation without congress. So in addition to him being able to break any law he wants, he'll also be able to get anything he wants done. It's a terrifying situation. It's how the Nazis took over Germany, it's also how Putin took over Russia. The Project 2025 strategy has been used to end checks and balances in a bunch of countries.
So yeah, it's extremely important that we do anything we can to keep Trump and Vance from winning in November.
