Yes yes, they followed all the rules. 🙄

You realize this is about appearances, right? It doesn’t look democratic and that’s bad for the legitimacy of the process.

But there IS a process and they are following it…

Did you misread what I said?

I said the process doesn’t look democratic.

Yes, they’re following a process. They are acting entirely within the rules, but that doesn’t actually matter if Democratic voters do not believe it’s a democratic process. It’s about appearances, get it? The appearance of undemocratic rules within the party can be just as toxic to the electoral process as the appearance of corruption or the appearance of impropriety.

Wtf does “democratic process” even mean though? It’s literally not feasible to restart the primary process at this point is it? Like you want people to arrange getting off work, researching candidates, etc etc etc ?

So you’re complaining because you don’t like the candidate that pretty much all Democrats have already given their support for? There’s no appearance of anything fishy, and it doesn’t seem that anyone has any objections to Harris stepping up – other than Republicans who suddenly find themselves running against a candidate that is trouncing their beloved leader. It just sounds like you’re trying to stir up discord when there is none within the party that will be voting for her.
