Matter of fact it is very democratic. It's called a coalition of members. Performative whining doesn't matter.
The convention will be open, none of the delegates are obligated to anyone anymore. Marianne Williamson just won't get any of them because her campaign has been a joke from start to finish.
It's as close as they can get under the circumstances.
In 2020, they picked Biden and by extension his choice in running mate during primaries. In the general election, people voted for Biden with Harris. If Harris was an unacceptable "almost president", the voters had chances during the general election in 2020 and again in the 2024 primaries.
The democratic approach formally declares that Biden gets to pick the president, and he picks Harris.
Love how your truth gets dogpiled.
"truth" as in "truth social" lol
No, they’re right. The Democrat voter base wasn’t enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton in 2016, partly because they felt she had gone through a coronation rather than a proper primary. Democrats like to be involved in the process of picking the nominee, and they chafe when they feel the process isn’t fair.
It would be better for Kamala Harris if she has a legitimate competitor and has to go through a debate or two.
Harris is a good debater. She should be fine.
You're going to get heat for using the Fox phrasing "Democrat" instead of "Democratic", but I get where you're coming from. :)
If the DNC phrases this as another "Her Turn" election, she's done.
Very democratic.

It's no longer about democracy. It's just politics as a team sport now.
Democracy was a team sport from the very first incarnation.
No, having political parties isnt a given and George Washington even warned against the two party system we are now facing
