No primary!??? That’s not very democratic.

[jameshunt]

Wow without a single vote, that’s amazing! This is democracy!

[kentporter]

LOCKED UP THE NOMINATION NO ONE RAN AGAINST HER, HOW IS THAT LOCKING UP ANYTHING IT'S LIKE RUNNING A RACE AND YOUR THE ONLY ONE RACEING AND YOU WON RACEING YOURSELF, WTF

[guitarandmore]

Historical because she's never won a primary. So "Democratic" 😂

[DerickPelser]

A candidate without anyone voting for her.

[chesterhaduca]

“Historic” because no primary voting existed!!! 😂

[codebloke]

Check out Judge Joe Brown's opinion of Kamala. It's a remarkable watch.

[raisingarizona]

Not one person voted for her? Feels like a Banana republic.

[btraina]

How? No American voted for her...I don't get it. This is crazy.

[JBarnes]

All without a single vote…. But you are saving democracy right?

[charliejones]

When did We The People vote for this? What is "democracy" now?

[Kainis]

Only historic in that she wasn't elected to the position as no one actually voted for her.

[matthewfarmer]

Yeah she should be really proud of her accomplishment of hiding for four years and only being picked because the first choice had dementia. Historic

[sillybilly]

Thanks for giving democrats a choice? 😮

[nandokings]

She's ready to fight, she's ready to win and she's ready to cackle!

[guitarsbymetaljay]

Not one vote. Not one vote. Not one vote. I'm going to keep repeating myself until someone listens. Not one vote. Not one

[Ben-opo]

So much democracy it hurts. Dominion will take care of it from here.

[jasonsmith]

It's funny when you say "locked up" because that's how she liked to keep people after their sentences were over.

[jacobjames]

Wait a minute, I thought she was Indian???

[WethepeopleFreedom]

Just remember democrats are here to save democracy no matter what it takes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
