Questions for democracy

Many self described liberals and leftists who have not taken the coconut pill are grousing about the Dems being undemocratic. I see a series of much more profound questions.

Biden running despite massive unpopularity and having an incredibly safe primary is “undemocratic.” I agree! So how do you not do that in a democracy?

Biden dropping out and transferring his campaign assets to a designated beneficiary (Harris) with no consequences or friction is potentially undemocratic but I think this illegitimacy is a consequence of having faced a largely bloodless primary and voters not taking Vice Presidents seriously.

The primary aspect is an establishment issue: the risks of being a contrarian and running against an incumbent should be lesser and in normal times they probably would be but we live in an era of high stakes and tight margins. Risk aversion has become the Democratic political religion at the same time the GOP have become feral except when it comes to directly challenging Trump.

Not taking VPs seriously is a luxury that we have enjoyed since before many of us were born. It’s been a minute since we had to seriously consider removal from office by natural causes, assassination, or resignation. No President since Nixon has been cowed by threats of removal and the bipartisan will hasn’t existed in that long.

We should no longer permit ourselves to pretend the VP isn’t a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

If we don’t like these things about our political culture and system, then what? Grousing about legitimacy should come with introspection.

Liberals are quite literally responsible for genocide and act as if they are the ones who have compassion, it’s classic abuser behavior.

It sounds like some Democrat congress members are asking Biden to no longer run for president again in November. I'm not 100% sure where I stand, but I assume Harris would be the new candidate, given the timing and the fact she's the vice president. Maybe there's time for a debate or two before the delegates pick but I have no idea who else is interested in trying. Maybe I'll hold another poll for some other names, but for now I just wanna know what Tumblr thinks about Harris.

Here's a recent speech from Harris, at a Biden campaign rally:

May God Bless the U.S. Secret Service

May God Bless America

Amen. 🙏

We never said “you can’t vote for your favorite genocidal maniac.”

Vote or don’t vote, but never be deceived that it will make a difference, there’s literally no lower form of political participation. That’s why they give you a sticker.

Here’s Kamala Harris mocking people who say “we need more education” and vehemently asserting that “we need more prisons” https://youtu.be/4HZjLnj7WGM?si=LFyg9EyfWJL-IQSF

And here’s Kamala Harris clearing rapist killer cops while degrading black women, her continuum as DA: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-mitrice-richardson-closed-20170202-story.html

Picture is a mosaic of the black men Kamala Harris threw into cages.

Thinking that because someone isn’t for one genocidal maniac the must be in favor of the other genocidal maniac is fallacious thinking, it’s known as a “false dichotomy,” sometimes referred to as “black and white thinking.”

We are anarchists, it’s not in our nature to accept tyrants as legitimate authorities, but anyone who knows anything about politics would be able to tell you that.

WTF does that even mean lol? ⬆️
