   @thendrix it does amuse me how they crow about muh democracy when this is the second time in three consecutive elections they've discarded the popular vote and installed the candidate.

     @shadowferret @thendrix they skipped holding primaries to install the incumbent. (this is not an uncommon thing for the uniparty to do.)
     
     the problem is that they've never had to hard abort the incumbent before, and now they're stuck in a position where some states had closed ballot registries and they now have no candidate.
     
     the correct answer is to just have the primaries anyway but :blobcatdunno:
     
     from what little i've paid attention there *are* people at the DNC that are unhappy with this state of affairs (because Harris had an approval rating of 17% when she did run) but are being told to shut up by corporate because Orange Man Bad.

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @thendrix@social.hendrixgames.com I think part of the reason they went with her was simply because it seemed more plausible to transfer the campaign funds to her.

     @shadowferret @thendrix the irony is that this is *literally* the Putin strategy. Run under a shim candidate that walks out on day zero to secede power.

     @icedquinn@blob.cat @thendrix@social.hendrixgames.com so the DNC is using the Putin playbook? I can't say I'm surprised.

     @shadowferret @thendrix so you have a hated woman being installed because reasons, with a VP who "loves" authoritarian CCP, vs an imbecile that a cabal of weird puritanical christians have attached themselves to.
     
     either way your money is all going to israel and lockheed will still be getting paid not succeed at building a plane that works. :afire: :blobfoxthisisfine: :afire:
