The fact Harris’ campaign muzzled Walz when he could have been saying shit like this the whole time was a big fucking mistake. Christ, why wasn’t HE the god damn nominee?!

Aside from the fact that they held no primaries?

The most Reddit possible bullshit.

They shouldn’t have gone with Biden in 2020, I completely agree. Not remotely my first choice, but whatever. I voted for him because him vs Trump is a nobrainer.

Then they just ran him again! Are you kidding? Fine. Still a nobrainer.

Oh, but then they switched to someone else and all the fuckers who voted for him TWICE are like, “Whaaat?!?! This is a bridge too far!”

If you voted for Biden in the primary, and got Kamala, and you’re whining about it now, seriously? You’re getting what you deserve, because it was still a nobrainer.

I was just matter of factly pointing out how he wasn’t chosen.

Walz wouldn’t have gotten to be the nominee any other way unless there’s a mechanism I’m not aware of.

parties can nominate candidates however they choose. There's no 'way' about it.

I thought people hated parties nominating candidates instead of leaving that up to the people?

Nominating a Presidential candidate has changed a number of different ways since 1796. The most current method started in 1972 and really isnt as old of a process as most people might think.
Edit: Either way, the process is not in the Constitution and for a reason. The founding fathers wanted parties to have the freedom to determine their own candidates.

Some of the founding fathers didn’t even want parties to exist.
