Kamala was picked without the people's input, which is bad
This comic trivializes Trump's authoritarianism by equating the two, which is bad
They picked her as VP in 2020. If Biden had a heart attack on the debate stage, she'd be the incumbent.
Biden, was entrusted with the nomination. It was out of the people's hands after that point. And ultimately the transfer was in his hands.
In addition to the fact that nobody serious ran against her, and it's just a really unfortunate circumstance. It wasn't authoritarianism.
I wish we had an open primary. Hell, Harris might have won if she came out of it as the DNC leader, which would probably require a harder stance on Biden.
This always struck me as an odd argument. I hadn't voted for the Democratic candidate since 2008 (all 3rd party), and I hate how they run their primary. But this was EXACTLY what registered democrats voted for in the primary.
There was a primary, and a published, publicly available ticket of Biden/Harris. That ticket had all the deligates, all the funds, all the votes. It was VERY clear who was being voted for and who Biden's successor would be in the highly possible event something should happen to him. When he bowed out and endorsed her, the deligates, acting in good faith... went to her.
Literally any other outcome would have been unfair to the primary voters. Maybe better, but not what they voted for.
