Vice President Kamala Harris quickly racked up endorsements after
President Joe Biden exited the 2024 race, but some made the case for an
open convention.
Especially when it was essentially a coronation for Trump this time. Pretty much no one thought DeSantis or Haley had a chance, and they came the closest. Trump knew it, which is why he didn’t bother doing any of their debates. Which made them pointless debates.
Regardless there was still a primary. I voted in it I had the choice of who to vote for. That there was a clear and overwhelming favorite doesn’t change that fact.
People have been bitching and moaning for months (I bet you included) that Biden shouldn’t be the nominee, that he was too old, that he was in cognitive decline, etc.
Now he’s not the nominee and the bitching is that people didn’t get to vote in a primary.
As soon as we perfect time machine technology, maybe we can give you what you want. Until then, you’re stuck with this reality.
Your answer is to throw up your hands and say “what’s done is done”? How are we doing to get them to do it right next time if we don’t make a stink now?
There are only FOUR Months until the election! The campaign logistics (volunteers, staff, offices, ballots, etc) to set up for a completely new candidate are INSANE and the fact that this has to be explained is mind boggling.
You can complain all you want but complaining about how bad things were handled is like standing on the sidelines whining about the iceberg while people are trying to set up lifeboats on the titanic.

Right? Like what if he had a stroke and was ina vegetative state. Would we just have to keep him as the nominee?

There may not be a next time.
So we might as well give up any pretense of democracy? That’s some doomer shit brah
If there’s a serious candidate with enough support to be considered, they will campaign and vote.
There are only FOUR Months until the election! The campaign logistics (volunteers, staff, offices, ballots, etc) to set up for a completely new candidate are INSANE and the fact that this has to be explained is mind boggling.
And that means we can’t give them give them shit for how badly this whole thing was handled? That’s a recipe for the same nonsense 4 years from now

You have nothing of substance to say.
