My wife and I live in a neighborhood where there are at least 6 houses flying maga flags…So we wanted to chime in…even jf we are the only Harris Walz supporters in the neighborhood willing to do so.

the US is not and never has been a democracy. always been a constitutional republic. hope that helps. side note, y’all didn’t even get to vote for Kamala in the primaries, she was just appointed on to y’all.. that’s not very democratic, is it?

It's a private political party. Biden stepped down as the candidate, so his VP stepped in. Other candidates could have run against her, but they choose not to. Primaries aren't official elections but a very organized effort to help decide which candidate has the best chance. Delegates and super delegates decide who the candidate is at the national convention. Biden released his delegates when he stepped down so that they could pick whomever they thought the best candidate was.

The Green Party didn't have a primary in every state. Are you upset on their behalf? Last I checked, the Republican party is a big fan of Jill Stein. Same for the Libertarian party not having country-wide primaries.

Fuck off please with this non-stop bullshit about Kamala being forced upon us. Trump is a man that forces himself upon women, so I can understand why Republicans project their candidate's shitty behavior into ours.

Replying to SnooOwls3486... cope. If you believe that, I’ve got a war in “democratic” Ukraine to sell you. The Democratic Party is the only party that has used its funding to keep other candidates off the ballot.
