    This seems to prove that the two parties have way to much power vs the American citizens vote etc

    Didn’t she smoke weed while locking up others for smoking weed?
  • @taylorwagner4357
    So the people of the party don’t get to nominate a candidate? It just gets chosen for them? Doesn’t sound like democracy.
  • @larnellthoms7338
    but i thought the delegates represent the voting population... so how do they vote with no ballot vote for Harris at the top of the tkt by the people

    Kamala has Biden’s baggage without the Rust Belt appeal.

    Hallelujah 🙌🏻!!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻. I was owing a loan of $49,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery, Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $11,000 and got my payout of $290,500 every month…God bless Mrs Susan Jane Christy ❤️

    Primaries and elections by the people get to choose the nominee not party members. This is dictatorial.

    We should definitely get another primary, this feels backdoored.
