The former president has always considered himself to be the ultimate disrupter. But this time, the disruption is on the other side.
Through the weekend, there were an awful lot of questions that were going back and forth from people in the presidentās tightest circle, and one of the questions that kept being asked was whetherĀ Joe BidenĀ was going to endorseĀ Kamala HarrisĀ or not. And the question didnāt revolve around whetherĀ heĀ wanted to or not, but whether people in her camp thought it would be better for her to fight for it, win it on her own, and not be seen as somebody who was tapped by President Biden and so, in her own way, have a fresh startĀ going into the campaign.
So the timing seems to be about as good as it could have been to end what has just been one of the craziest two or three weeks in American politics in quite some time.
I know emotions are running hot, but I believe the parentās sentiment is 100% valid. if we want to be a representative democracy we have to embody a representative democracy.
no nomination hand outs. no nomination succession. biden endorsed kamala. cool, I hope the delegates keep that in mind as they evaluate candidates on our behalf.
There will be no other major candidates. Anyone who could contend with her has already said they wonāt challenge her. The party wants to get on to the general election, not run a pointless delegate-primary with a no-name thatās still not in any way a representation of the voters. They were chosen as Joe Biden loyalists in a primary with a foregone conclusion, not because the voting public thinks these people are especially good at evaluating candidates and representing their interests.
Donāt get me wrong, the delegates will still be the actual people deciding who to nominate, but itās going to be Harris.
understood and agreed. still useful to maintain the ideal in my head.
