They could let their base pick a candidate, or they could just continue to Whig themselves into oblivion. I'm OK with the latter, will shed no tears for this party that bears no resemblance to an actual working political party.
If corporations can issue preferred stock, then of course a corporation, the Democratic Party, cannot resist creating 'super delegates'. How do Democratic National Committee members align this feature with the mantra of "preserving our democracy"?
The answer to my question is immaterial. They do what they do and expect us to genuflect. Biden's nomination was no more valid than former Secretary of State Clinton's. Remember the Eve of Super Tuesday massacre? All but two Democratic primary campaigns ended right then and there.
I implore all that may write in a vote for President, to do so. Let's stop giving legitimacy to these sham elections.
As a former Democratic Party county co-chair, election volunteer and donor and now former dem, the lesson to be taken from 'Genocide' Joe's doddering performance is that the president is not really in charge. The unelected, unaccounted for administrative corporate state is in charge. It's why many Trump supporters were disappointed when many/most of Trump's promises did not materialize.
Biden provides a Wizard of Oz behind-the-curtain moment for those willing to see and grasp what is happening as the nation is being looted, the American people abandoned and the world is being manipulated into WW III.
When a dem friend recently chastised me for not voting blue no matter who, I invited him to do a little thought experiment with me.
"Imagine," I said "It was late-October of 2020 and I came to you and said I had been abducted by aliens and taken to the year 2024 and found the US was involved in a bloody, disasterous and doomed war that had wiped out a generation in Ukraine, the US had engineered the single largest act of ecoterrorism and the US was fully engaged in funding, arming and providing diplomatic cover for a brutal genocide where two-thirds of the victims were women, children and infants. You would have said, 'That's why we gotta vote for Joe!'"
He reluctantly agreed. Did we vote for any of this? No.
Does a majority of Americans oppose these acts? Yes.
Does it matter that they do? No.
That's because our whole political system is a Potemkin Village of corporate illusion and deceit. Luckily more and more people are seeing it for what it is.
Think your vote will really make a difference in this system?
Biden’s cognitive decline makes me wonder to what extent he’s actually been running things since taking office. A brokered convention is gonna be a nightmare, and it’s going to worsen the divide btwn elites and grassroots. But Biden isn’t in an early dementia stage anymore, and that is concerning for all the reasons we saw in the Reagan Administration. What are is advisors doing that he’s unable to control; and that he’ll [honestly] respond “I don’t recall” in Congressional testimony.
I'm guessing this superdelegate superstructure would try to slide Gavin Newsom into the nomination (if Biden exits post-convention), if they can settle on a way of doing so without overtly dissing Kamala Harris. But if they think Newsom, he of the slicked-back hair and expensive-vineyard fundraisers, is a good bet against Trump, they may be deluding themselves. We're still in an economic-populism phase, with a dose of migrant panic thrown in, and a rising disgust with unconditional support for Israel. Are these political professionals really that tone-deaf?
