Can't save democracy if there is no democracy.

Nobody voted for this though. Wtf. We are living like Venezuela now?

[zeenaabdura]

Why didn't any other democrat get a chance to become the Democratic Nominee? So, she was appointed? This isn't #Russia, or is it?

[rodgerwoods]

Whats
The media will tell us that she is president and no one cast the first

Seems to be the trend here...

[strong]

The party claiming to protect democracy picks their candidate with the same amount of democracy that North Korea uses to pick its leaders

How can you clinch a nomination when not a single U.S. citizen voted to put you in that position?

Americans didn't get a chance to cast their votes. We are in dangerous times people.

so a handful of delegates decided who to install as the candidate because you strang up joe long enough to skip the primary..

this is the democracy you were saving us from trump destroying? o.k.

[nev.catalyst]

sources tell me it was a choice between Harris or Kamala. So they maintained democracy by having two choices

[pureblood]

Telling you who to vote for to save democracy 😂

[borrowedtruths]

"Secures?" Who was given a choice here? Isn't that called totalitarianism?

[Scottforyoutube]

Primary? We don't need no stinking primary! What a joke!

[jimmysexton]

What would Democrats and the media be saying right now if Trump was handed the Republican delegates without a single American vote??

[DarthCoyster]

without a single vote. LOL and people complain about trump

[KK-teach-vegas]

Well of course she secured the necessary support. Who else have they got?

[mylifeasricky]

The blackest part of Kamala pulled out when Willie Brown was done.

[philsings]

[lewisstretch]

How does she secure delegate votes when there were no state primaries awarding her those votes. This could lead to court challenges in several states.
