Peaceful protestors?

"They went against the voters and put in Hilary and they put in Kamala without even taking votes."

And yet you claim you know how the system works...

Sanders had more votes than Clinton, back in 2016, but the DNC put in Clinton. 2024, the DNC put in Kamala without letting the civilians vote. Were you not able to understand what was being said?

As long as whatever it is, is in his/their favor it is ok and protected somehow by the COTUS. He has still yet to show me where in the constitution it says that a party can just slip in a new candidate when the one running drops out.

So, Los Angeles has a large riot going on. Cars and buildings are getting burned down, cops are bein attacked, and people are getting hurt. Newsom doesn't want to do anything but let it all burn. Trump send in the National Guard and now Newsom is going to sue Trump for it. Sue someone because they send help?

What's your point?
Do you think that's illegal, or not allowed, or something?

You said you know how the process works. So why are you making g these irrelevant statements?

Show me in the COTUS where it says tha party can't select their own candidate.

Show me where Biden was selected as the candidate who was to run.

Explain why you think the FEC decides who can be chosen as a candidate.

Explain why you think late July to mid September is "spring".

Explain what delegates do.

You seem to know none of these things, yet claim you are right that Kamala should not have been allowed to be a candidate.

The parties are private organizations. Unfortunately we as a country has allowed them to gain the power to essentially chose our presidents. They aren't bound by the feds how they nominate their candidates.

Nomination process:

• The Constitution doesn't specify how candidates are nominated: This part of the process is primarily handled by the political parties.
• Primaries and caucuses: Candidates typically go through state primary elections and caucuses to win delegates who support them at national party conventions.
• National conventions: Political parties hold national conventions to formally select their presidential and vice presidential nominees

They did none of this.

Show me where Biden was selected as the candidate who was to run.

He was running wasn't he? In the correct time frame.

Explain why you think the FEC decides who can be chosen as a candidate.

I'd be happy to if I ever made that statement.

Explain why you think late July to mid September is "spring".

Again, never made that statement. In fact I specifically said July and said that is summer time.

Explain what delegates do.

Explain what a ****** is for.

You seem to know none of these things, yet claim you are right that Kamala should not have been allowed to be a candidate.

So you are just going to fail? Wow. Good job deflecting and once again being too cowardly to answer questions on an internet forum.

Agree 110%. It was so obvious Biden wasn't playing with a full deck of cards. IMHO, Kamala probably should have taken over as POTUS ~2022. When you don't know what direction to go in when somebody is literally telling you where to go, it's time to give up the Presidency.

I don't think he understood what you were referring to. It took like 10 pages for us explain "Sleepy Joe" to Rob and I'm still not sure if got it and that's just a nickname. 2 election cycles over the course of 9 years can get rather confusing.

If trying to delay/stop counting the electoral votes = insurrection, does trying to stop other gov't agencies from doing their job = insurrection???

I don't see it in the COTUS either. It's interesting though, basically the whole nomination process could be used to put in whoever "they" want. Hypothetically, Trump could run for nomination again, handpick who wants to be the nominee for his VP and then drop out citing that's he's dropping out due to age, etc and hand the nomination to his hand picked candidate. The DNC has opened up a world of possibilities.

Amazing isn't it? They actually want the riots.

We have similar thoughts.
