So far 1746 delegates have pledged their support for her and that doesn't include superdelegates. She needs 1976 to win on the first ballot. Assuming those numbers hold, she only needs to pick 230 delegates out of the remaining 2200.

And those aren't all party elites. Delegates are often regular people that work other jobs but volunteer for their local and state Democratic Party. Your local precinct chair could be a national delegate just as easily as a so called elite.

Interesting. A lot higher than I'd seen earlier. I'm actually happy about that.

But, as to your other point...By "elites", I was meaning party members that are now going to vote without the Dem voters getting a say.

I didn't like that Trump won the nomination. Hell, I wasn't going to vote for him until the lawfare conviction. But, at least the primary voters picked him.

She has some talking points:

Prosecutor vs convicted felon
Prosecutor vs adjudicated rapist
Prosector vs insurrectionist
Prosecutor vs guy who called Epstein ~100 times and had a 13 year Epstein victim file suit against him for rape before death threats freaked her out
50 year old vs 80 year old - 3 years of Fox saying an elderly man shouldn't be President doesn't help
Woman vs mysoginist accused of rape by ~30 women trying to eliminate a woman's right to choose (grab them by the *****… doesn't help)
Woman of color vs accused, central park 5 and others would argue real, racist…n bomb apprentice tapes wont help

She is 59 not 50. Trump is less than 20 yrs older.
If 3 years was a big gap between Trump and Biden, then 19 years is an unfathomable gap between Trump and Harris.

Dems get to play the reverse uno card on age now.
Shes a ****ing imbecile. That has nothing to do with her age, gender, or skin color.

True but nobody cared about age until Biden dropped out. Hell most libs on here were loving him until he couldn't win.


Harris isn't smart. Her word salads will turn people off. Throw in how she threw black men in prison like there was no tomorrow and that's a terrible combination.

Agreed it's different, but the process is still the same. I mean if Trump felt like he couldn't win, that he didn't see a path forward, would you want him to stay in and take the L? Again I realize it isn't the same, but people drop out of the presidential nomination race all the time when they think they can't win. Biden certainly waited a really ****ing long time to do it and I wish he had bowed out sooner. But I don't think it's all that different than Desantis suspending his campaign.

I also have no doubt that several people tried to convince him he couldn't win. I suspect he was also being really hard headed about it as well. But at a certain point he realized the math wasn't there terms of funding, open support, and internal polling. So he packed it in and endorsed Kamala Harris.

a) I didn't want Trump, but I'd be pissed if he just said "**** it, I can't win, y'all figure this out" and then the convention decided they wanted to pick Romney (as an example).

b) Sure, people drop out all the time. (Kamala did in 2020 with ZERO delegates). But, when have they dropped out between the voting/securing enough delegates and the convention?

c) Is this how you want the elections to be? Run the primary season...win...polls show you're going to lose, so **** it, you're out and we'll pick someone else? This goes for both parties.

That's a lot of words to say you really don't care about democracy as long as your party benefits. This wasn't an accident. Everyone knew Biden had dementia. It was planned, known, and understood by your party for a long time. They knew full well they were going **** the primary voters.

That's a lot of words to say you feel like your party got out played. For what it's worth I don't think Biden backed out for health issues. I think he saw that he was losing support and was starting to poll poorly against Trump.

If the man drops out he drops out. He should have never sought reelection in the first place. I don't want to lose the presidency to Trump and regardless of who the Democrats put out there, I am going to vote for them to keep Trump from winning. Biden wasn't my first choice last time around and I still voted for him to keep Trump out.

Apologies for calling you pathetic. Although I disagree with your take that was uncalled for.

Look, I was a Desantis guy. I was going to vote for him in the primary. I voted for Cruz in the 2016 primary. But Trump won. He earned the nomination fair and square. So I will back that.

But had shenanigans occurred to force Trump to be the nominee that didn't involve the majority of fellow Republicans choosing him, then I'd have a big problem with that. If we allow that, what's next? Voting is the single biggest tool we have as a democracy. And you lived through a Trump presidency, the country made it, and had it not been for a 100 year virus, it would have been a damn good 4 years.

So spare me the "avoiding Trump is more important that my ability to vote" narrative. Cause it's just not true and it's a massive liberal exaggeration.

Civiqs is an online opinion polling and data analytics company founded by Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas in March 2018.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civiqs#cite_note-1][1][/url] It is a division of Kos Media, which Moulitsas also founded. The director of Civiqs is Drew Linzer.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civiqs#cite_note-2][2][/url] It is distinguished from other online polling firms by the large number of respondents to its polls, which it has recruited from across the United States through an online panel and asks questions on a daily basis. This allows Civiqs to monitor trends in public opinion over short periods of time, as well as across different demographic and geographic categories.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civiqs#cite_note-3][3][/url]

It actually got more difficult for you. You now have a Californian who is distinctly out of touch with what is going on outside her bubble. She does not play outside the coasts. Not at all.

Because she is a part of the Biden Administration, she will have to defend the Biden record. She has shown no ability to do that. Pretending the country has never had it so good will not get that done.

Outside the Cali/DC bubble, immigration is a major issue. She was named Border Czar by her boss. She made absolutely no progress and the White House she now must defend has aided and abetted illegal immigration rather than enforce the laws on the books.

You would have been better served throwing this to an open convention rather than handing to a total lightweight who cannot defend the Biden record in any public setting.
