      No no! Let’s shove a preselected candidate down everyone’s throat and hope they hold their noses. That’ll be good enough! Best out of 3!

      Hey, how many other presidential candidates have made it to a general election while never earning a single primary delegate in their entire career?!

      She’s a once in a generation candidate!

      The primary system in the USA is biased to who the first few states prefer. But if the Dems had had an actual primary last time maybe they would have found a different replacement for Biden.

        Yep by the time my state gets to vote in the primary, over half of the candidates have dropped out and the obvious winner is preparing for their full campaign. Makes it obvious why so few vote in the primaries here

      Wouldn’t that increase the chances of a non-Zionist Jewish candidate to win? That’s is by far a much worse scenario to the DNC than losing the election.

        I thought her family is Zionist. She spent her whole term as VP providing diplomatic protection for Israel, and in part served a meaningful role in one of the worst man made famines in human history and the destruction of Gaza. Maybe she’s not explicitly genocidal, but her actions are what brought the world to this exact global mess. Whether one blames Trump or not, there’s a sequence of actions taken to get here - I’m just saying Harris and the surrounding network is a part of that.

        I suppose the world may be in the process of coming to terms that the Americans can no longer solve the issue internally. At some point, I wouldn’t be surprised as more countries just negotiate directly with Iran, and without the US.

          yes, her husband is an uber zionist. He said he would devote his term as first gentleman “fighting antisemitism” in the US.
