Nomination process:

• The Constitution doesn't specify how candidates are nominated: This part of the process is primarily handled by the political parties.

Then why are you saying the COTUS was not followed regarding her nomination?

• Primaries and caucuses: Candidates typically go through state primary elections and caucuses to win delegates who support them at national party conventions.

"Typically". You think "typically" is some type of mandate of law?
Seriously?

• National conventions: Political parties hold national conventions to formally select their presidential and vice presidential nominees

The DNC delegates chose her to run in advance of the convention.
You think the delegates are not allowed to do this?
Show me the rule. One that is not "ThxOne says".

They did none of this.

Incorrect. Check the dates before you say the wrong info again.

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

He was not selected by the delegates at the DNC. He was presumed to be the candidate, but had not been selected officially.

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

Oh? Must have been that frog in your pocket, again.
"Show me where she registered IN THE SPRING of 2024 with the Federal Election Commission." -Thxone

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

Hmmm, the quote above very much says "SPRING".
Forgot your own post again?

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

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

The above is just great irony.

Instead of deflecting with a question you can't answer, how about you stick to the topic and tell us what was immoral and unethical about Kamala being nominated?

Tell us all about the lies and deception.

Still waiting.

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.

Except you completely failed to give me a simple answer to the simple question.

WHAT IS THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE MONIKER "SLEEPY JOE"?

You claimed it had nothing to do with sleep, then applauded Thxone for posting a definition of "sleepy" that is totally ABOUT sleep.

So can you answer the simple question, or not?
Drop all the other bullshit, and give me the etymology.

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

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.

The "world of possibilities" that has been the allowed process all along?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Then why are you saying the COTUS was not followed regarding her nomination?

I didn't say that.

"Typically". You think "typically" is some type of mandate of law?
Seriously?

Did I say typically? Ask the author of the information.

The DNC delegates chose her to run in advance of the convention.
You think the delegates are not allowed to do this?
Show me the rule. One that is not "ThxOne says".

So you are saying there was prior knowledge that Sleepy Joe was going to bow out and Kamala was going to run?

Incorrect. Check the dates before you say the wrong info again.

She announced in JULY.

He was not selected by the delegates at the DNC. He was presumed to be the candidate, but had not been selected officially.

So neither of them were then.

Oh? Must have been that frog in your pocket, again.

Here we go again. Above is what I said. Then you asked this dumb *** question below.

Show me where she registered IN THE SPRING of 2024 with the Federal Election Commission. Show me where in the spring of 2024 she announced her intentions to run for president. Show me in the summer of the year before and up through the spring of the elections year where the primary and caucus debates for Kamala took place. Presidential primaries and caucuses?"

You really do have to put some effort into ******* reading Rob otherwise you just come off as retarded.

The above is just great irony.

Like you would know.

Keep waiting. You haven't answered my questions and I asked first libby.

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

I didn't say that.

Sure you did. The words that you posted:
"Kamala should not have even been a part of the election. To be nominated to even run there are steps. None of which she took.
1. Meeting Constitutional Requirements:

• Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
• Be at least 35 years old.
• Have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

"None of which she took".
The very first of the "steps" you posted were COTUS references.

You sling so much bullshit, you can't even follow it.

Did I say typically? Ask the author of the information.

You posted the words. Did you not want to?
Another case of you proving yourself wrong, and then denying you did so?

So you are saying there was prior knowledge that Sleepy Joe was going to bow out and Kamala was going to run?

"Bow out" of what? He had not been selected by the delegates. He was not the chosen candidate.

She announced in JULY.

AND? The DNC was held in August of 2024.
July is BEFORE August in each calendar year.
Been that way for a long while now.

So neither of them were then.

Oh? You might want to check facts on that.
As usual, you are wrong.

Here we go again. Above is what I said. Then you asked this dumb *** question below.

And yet you haven't explained why you think the FEC decides who can be chosen as a candidate.

You really do have to put some effort into ******* reading Rob otherwise you just come off as retarded.

You repeated a whole lot of words that are not relevant to your belief that Kamala should not have been allowed to be chosen by the DNC as the candidate.

Can you skip all the bullshit and tell us the facts you think support your claim?

You've offered none so far.

Like you would know.

Obviously I do. That's why I said it.

You post an inane and irrelevant question instead of telling us what delegates do, and then accuse me of deflecting.

The epitome of irony.

Keep waiting. You haven't answered my questions and I asked first libby.

So you CANNOT support your argument in any way.
Year another dozen threads of "because ThxOne says so".
No wonder you can't get anywhere in life.

All the examples I've provided, including Sleepy Joe's biographer, aren't enough? I honestly have a hard gime believing anybody can be this dense. I'm switching to "Don't know where to go Joe" because clearly you are having a difficult time with "Sleepy Joe" despite the sources I found for you, despite the numerous examples of other non-literal nicknames we provided, etc.

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

If you say so. I lok forward to more candidates from Team Blue that weren't democratically selected. I can wait for "Constitutional Crisis" when the GOP gets in on it.

He doesn't even need to read, we all witnessed it in real time. The second time out of 3 elections the DNC ignored the will of their constituents.

You can't explain the etymology of "sleepy Joe" without it being a hypocritical moniker, given that Trump is always falling asleep in public.

So, you're going to change to a new one? Have you notified Trump and the rest of the right wingers of this change?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

Half the post you act stupid the other half you act like you won something. None of the post is you answering my questions.

Yet another post where you fail to support your narrative with facts.

That narrative being your claim that Kamala should not have been allowed to run for POTUS, legally or otherwise.

Here is your "support" of your claim:

If you say so. I lok forward to more candidates from Team Blue that weren't democratically selected. I can wait for "Constitutional Crisis" when the GOP gets in on it.

Explain how Kamala wasn't "democratically selected".

ThxOne shared all of his beliefs and feelings about it.

Kamala should not have even been a part of the election. To be nominated to even run there are steps. None of which she took.

1. Meeting Constitutional Requirements:

• Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
• Be at least 35 years old.
• Have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

2. Competing in Primaries and Caucuses:

• Candidates participate in a series of state-level contests called primaries and caucuses.
• These contests award delegates to the candidates based on voter preference.
• Primaries: Voters cast secret ballots to express their preferred candidate.
• Caucuses: Meetings run by political parties where participants openly express their support for a candidate, sometimes through methods like dividing into groups.

3. Winning Delegates:

• The goal is to win a majority of delegates to secure the party's nomination.
• The way delegates are awarded can vary by state and party; some use proportional allocation, others use winner-take-all, and some use a hybrid system.

4. National Nominating Convention:

• The party holds a national convention where delegates from the primaries and caucuses officially cast their votes for the presidential nominee.
• If no candidate secures a majority of delegates in the primaries and caucuses, the convention may become contested, requiring additional rounds of voting to determine the nominee.
• The presidential nominee officially announces their vice presidential running mate at the convention.

In summary, to be nominated for president, an individual needs to meet the constitutional requirements, actively campaign and compete in state primaries and caucuses to win delegates, and ultimately secure a majority of delegate votes at their party's national nominating convention.

Nothing but "because ThxOne said so".
A pathetic, self-entitled stance, as usual.

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

I just watched 4 interviews with Mayor Bass and Newsom. Not once did any of them denounce the riots and looting. All they kept talking about is how bad ICE and Trump are. If they really cared, you would think they would at least put a message out and tell all these rioters that they need to stop or they will be prosecuted. That's the idiotic left for you. Don't blame yourself... Just pull crap out of our butt to blame someone else. If the Republicans did this, the dems would call it an insurrection.

This sums up how the dems feel about the LA riot.

Do you even read or watch we post? Why should we bother responding to you if you're not going to read what we post? It's not a hypocritical moniker because "Sleepy Joe" IS NOT LITERAL!!!!!

(Literally) "Which way do I go Joe's" own biographer cited Biden's incoherence as why (not literally) "Sleepy Joe" stuck. Wiki says the nickname is because (not literally) Sleepy Joe was viewed as mentally slow. Please review post #14,431, in which I clearly state why people refer to (literally) "Which way do I go Joe" as (not literally) "Sleepy Joe." Since the wiki entry covers nicknames of all POTUS's, I assume it's a relatively unbiased source. It's probably safe to assume that Biden's biographer is left leaning. I doubt there are better sources than those. The fact that you cannot accept that "Sleepy Joe" is not literal is just more evidence of how deeply TDS has affected you.

I told you why I didn't post the etymology, and we both know you don't care about the etymology or you'd look it up yourself. Furthermore, I've posted dozens of times, that I'm not using the word literally, so it's etymology is useless for this purposes of this conversation. Why can't you understand that?

But since you can't seem to accept "our" word that it's not literal, how about Wikipedia? Or Biden's biographer? Or some random dudes on Quora? How about Liz Cheney's take on Sleepy Joe?

The PEOPLE decide who runs the country. Liberals and Democrats have taken away our right to choose, our ability to choose by telling us who we will vote for. THAT is not how it works. That is NOT how the COTUS was written.

You keep using the word fail. It's your most used word because that is your life and you are pissed about it but to lazy to change it. Just sit around cucked in the corner being a do boy for the far left.
