"Racism. Care to explain how Obama was elected twice?"

He wasn't part Asian. I've always said was a bigger liability for Harris than being part black or female.

"Face it, you're as bad as Trumpers following her cult of personality."

A cult of personality isn't necessarily a bad thing. Washington and Lincoln both had cults of personality. The thing is, if a candidate is going to run a campaign like that, they need to go all in and sustain it. If they're doing it just because they saw it worked for Trump (or whoever) and decided to try to copy it, it won't work.

"Primaries are Important, you "Make Time" for them."

You're not being honest. But we've all come to expect that from your handle. A second primary was logistically impossible at that point. While there are precedents for sitting presidents dropping out, none did so as late in the cycle as Biden, who withdrew months after the primary season had already concluded.

From a logistical and legal standpoint, a "second run" of public primary elections was effectively impossible. Here is why:

1. State Law vs. Party Rules
Primary elections are run by state governments, not the political parties. The dates for these elections are written into state statutes. For the DNC to "redo" the primaries, dozens of state legislatures (many controlled by the opposing party) would have had to pass emergency laws to schedule new elections, fund them, and authorize new ballots.

2. The "Ballot Access" Deadline
By late July, many states were already approaching their general election certification deadlines. For example, Ohio had a notorious deadline issue that required the DNC to hold a "virtual roll call" early just to ensure their nominee would legally appear on the November ballot. Organizing 50 state-wide elections in the ~90 days before the general election would have been a logistical nightmare.

3. Cost and Infrastructure
A single state primary can cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. There was no mechanism or appetite to spend hundreds of millions on a "do-over" when the primary results had already been certified.

You can bitch about how undemocratic incumbent primaries or even primaries are in general, but then that too would undermine the disingenuous argument you're making here.

The primaries were over, and the primary voters had chosen the incumbent candidate(s) to run on the ticket again. It wasn't realistic to rerun all the primaries in 50 states again and then run a national campaign. Literally nobody honestly believes that was a viable option.

IIRC, Harris polled better than any other potential candidate when Biden withdrew, and she looked like she had a chance. Then she chose a VP who looked like McCain, which made herself look like Palin. The wheels came off when her own campaign brought up race with the "White Dudes for Harris" and "White Guy Taco Night" nonsense. She blew it.

She looked like a deer caught in the headlights by the end of her only debate with Trump.

#64- completely agreed

"Look at this hysterical cooze"

Look at this confession dressed up as an accusation. I'm the one arguing against hysteria driven by mob mentalities. You're the one defending it. "Think of the bleeding children!" Think of how many atrocities have been committed with hyper emotional rhetoric like that. You like to think you're morally superior to others, but you're really no better than the religious right.

"Yet where is the future? Would you look more toward China or the US?"

People are fleeing both countries right now.

It's so nice that we have zero room for agreement or disagreement on anything, isn't it? The recommendations of the medical community must never be questioned, and anyone who does is "stupid" and "evil", whether we're talking about a rushed vaccine, surgical mutilations, or very rare non-communicable diseases.

More Doctors recommended Camels, although 20,679 physicians said Lucky Strike cigs were smoother and less irritating to the throat. If you disagree with or even doubt them, then you are anti-science and should be criminally charged.

"Most people here already knew the origins of the symbol prior to you gracing us ad nauseum with your magnificent superior knowledge of such."

It's funny how bigots think "most people" agree with them. Again, the symbol was not some ancient relic that had been out of use when the Germans misused it. That you want to reinforce that misuse as the "true" one shows that you are sympathetic to white supremacists who want to eradicate all other cultures

"AOC would make a great POTUS."

Frankly, nobody knows what type of POTUS she would be. She might be okay, she might be a failure, she might be a ruthless monster who follows in the footsteps of other revolutionaries who set out to effect change.

The previous popes were also bashed by Fox News hosts for not being pro-war, you celibate senseless moke.

Mmm, I love the smell of borscht in the morning. Nice troll article, projecting the ignorance of one supposed conservative onto an entire group of people based on their biological traits. No doubt it will inspire someone else to respond with a comment or another thread about the blindness of another race or ethnic group, right on cue.

"A prominent Baptist pastor"

Never heard of him. Thought the headline was a typo of Jeffries.

Protestants think they understand the bible better than Catholics. Fox News contributors have been bashing the Pope having an anti-war stance for at least 25 years. So none of this is really news.

Under no circumstances should a candidate ever use a wonky phrase like the "Overton window", no matter how well-intentioned. Bill Maher did a great piece on this where he channeled the ghost of George Carlin.

"= posting Swastikas?"

Oh look, now you and bit-miner Snoofy are running deflections for the Effete antisemitic sock puppet.

Because trying to educate people about the true meaning of the symbol as it's still used by the vast majority of non-Europeans is no different from making broad statements about "the Jews", in your minds.

"Leave it to Sentinel to spotlight exactly the most concerning problem in this country today.....ahahahahaha!"

I spotlighted exactly why certain candidates lost to someone like Trump.

"to ensure something that can be fatal and unpredictable doesn't happen."

Do you wear a helmet 24/7?

"Should parents legally be required to feed their children?"

If parents don't feed their children, there's pretty much a 100% chance they will die. So you're making my point here about how the histrionic false equivalencies are counterproductive. For 99.99% of births, a vitamin K shot is unneeded.

And I'll say it again - Democratic candidates can champion all the so-called progressive policies that they want, but they still need to have the equivalent of a "Sistah Soulja" moment, where they unequivocally call out some of the extremism or extremists on the left.

"RICH JEWS BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE."

You make statements like this, and yet you can't figure out why people think you're antisemitic. You're either trolling or clueless or both.

"You know who else has 95 percent Universal Healthcare?"

Only if you define "universal healthcare" as enrollment in the most low-quality, basic services, while the cost of treatments for serious conditions are sky-high in comparison to local incomes. Unless this is the type of UHC you are promoting (which I doubt), it doesn't support your argument.

"Why not say, "My ambition is to make America what Americans want it to be"?"

Keeping it concise and conveying the message of a change from the status quo is a better communicative technique.

"WTF does that have to do with neonatal Vitamin K shots and Hep B vaccines?"

You're playing dumb here, as usual. The Vitamin K shots are a trivial example, but it's in the same group of bodily invasive medical procedures that have been forced upon the population at large because of the benefits it has for a very tiny fraction of it.

She needs to embrace the Cortez part of her identity and go full Consquistadora.

If she seriously has presidential ambitions, waiting until it's "her turn" or has "right amount" of experience is the most foolish advice she could follow.

She needs to learn from and avoid the mistakes made by the wishy-washy candidates like Clinton and Harris, as well as the one-note candidates like Sanders who were basically just running to be passive-aggressive.

Recording indicators? How quaint. Hackers have figured out how to disable them with software workarounds ages ago.
