What gets me is that we're apparently not even going to have a contested convention where the delegates get to vote for somebody else. I forget who pointed it out, but the party literally won't even trust the delegates for the corporatist candidate to choose the candidate for the general election. Then again, the idiots that kept voting blue no matter who have nobody to blame but themselves. It's been many years since the Democratic party bothered to put up much of a fight for anything that benefited the people and in most cases were just a cover for the GOP as they dismantle the government.

@@HolyAlric The very fact that you think it's about saintly candidates is worrisome. It's not about saints and sinners. It's about democratic norms. None of this is democratic. Your country has basically gave you as choices a cult leader whose biggest accomplishment was giving massive tax cuts to rich people and an an unpopular VP who would have never won nomination in a democratic process. And she's basically taking over for a man who clearly had dementia and who had to be forced from the ticket by corporate donors. The people had no say in this candidate whatsoever. You might be fine with your corporatocracy, but I am not. You might want to revisit the 20th century to see what happens in societies when governments become overly corrupt and ineffectual. The biggest problem with those who call themselves republicans and democrats is that they have no ability to look in the mirror. They both believe they are the righteous ones with the right to rule. Well guess what, the reason we are moving towards authoritarianism is the fault of both parties. Both have produced mostly feckless candidates who are more interested in getting rich than serving the people. And whenever there is a candidate who pushes back against the system, they are roundly squashed. But yeah Kamala.
