[ABC News] Black Lives Matter slams Democrats for 'anointing' Kamala Harris without primary vote

Vance was not selected as VP. DeSantis would likely have taken the nomination.

 

I don't think jd vance was picked as his running mate yet. So if trump was assassinated u would have likely see the gop do exactly what they been btching about pick someone they want over the people votes.

Like u said Harris was at least on the ticket so its not undemocratic.

 

A question I hear often is why didn't Kamala marry an African American man? Were none good enough for her? Especially since she waited until age 50 to get married.

Technically, she is not African American since her father is from Jamaica (North American continent) and mother is from India (Asian continent)... but still.

 

Why did JD Vance not marry a White woman? How deep does this conspiracy go?
We're through the looking glass here people.
You have convinced me to vote for the Donald. Great work!

 

The Dems (from party leaders to individual supporters), for once, acted decisively, fast, and with discipline, as if they all know what's at stake. The GOP is desperate to slow that down and break it up - their want is an open, messy convention... not this.

 

You raise some thought-provoking questions. I would point out that most people from India are considered caucasian.

But Kamala's situation is a little different, because she has used her race to advance her career time and again. It's literally WHY Joe Biden chose her as VP -- he publicly stated that he would ONLY choose a black female. JD Vance isn't going around marketing his race for advantage.

 

I mean, this isn't exactly a bad resume for a POTUS nominee: VP, senator, attorney general, criminal prosecutor.

 

So go ahead and vote for the guy who's own staff has called him a moron, unfit for office, a threat to democracy, an who thinks like a 5 year old.

 

You have been b****ing and whining for 25 years over your skin color and nothing has changed. Maybe it's you or maybe your blind allegiance offers you nothing.

Maybe yes. Maybe no.

 

Imo big difference between a candidate dying and having to choose another vs one who had clear medical issues for years but was forced out at the last minute.

The Dems havent either. LBJ was able to (and quoting him) "get those n-words to vote Democrat for the next 50 years" off the civil rights movement but what has been done since then to really help Blacks? Seems we were used for votes and keep being gaslit. Trump is the first president to, albeit small, break the cycle up a bit.

 

Tiger Woods is blacker than Kamala

 

If I were to elect a Black woman
It would be Janet Jackson

You know her family history and she’s 100% Black and she would bring peace to the world like her brother Michael

I think Haley had more delegates so she would
Be in front runner position had Trump actually been assasinated.

Since the Republican convention though hadn’t happened yet it likely would’ve been a contested convention to determine who would win the nomination.

To note Harris didn’t automatically inherit Biden’s delegates and hasn’t actually gotten the nomination. Once Biden said he wasn’t running his delegates weren’t pledged to him anymore. Yesterday enough of them pledged to support Harris but its not impossible that there could still be a contested convention.

 

Right, the voter roll call has yet to happen.

The Democrats now have a coalition (progressive left, standard Dems, moderate Dems, former Republicans, and 'no-way-Trump' voters) that quickly came together and are united. The strategy of the Trump campaign has always been to divide and conquer (the same old strategy from 2016 and 2020). They try to peel off Black, progressive, and moderate voters, which is why they are still so focused on portraying this as an unfair process and a backstabbing of Biden.

They are angry and furious that, like in the recent French election, all the factions of the left-center-moderate coalition are united and doing so quickly to beat them. As we saw straight from the horse's mouth - it's so unfair.

 

What has happened is Democrats championed the issues of education, access to Healthcare, job training, higher wages for workers which is contrary to the stance of those issues by Republicans.

Those are the same issues with a higher priority for many minority communities. Democrats work for those issues. Republicans work against them.

 

We've seen it stated even here that Republicans are trying to push an argument that people who voted for Biden in the primaries have been disenfranchised and that the Democrats conducted an "undemocratic coup" to topple Biden. The problem with this argument is that one, even among people who voted for Biden in the primaries polling was showing a lot of openness towards another candidate. Two, the one thing that really unites Democrats is Donald Trump.

The Progressive Left and Moderate wings of the Democratic party disagree on a lot. What they don't disagree on is that Trump shouldn't be president again.

 

Politically, not only does this not register, but it can also backfire (seen as dishonest and concern trolling) because Biden's exit has an extremely high approval, ranging from 70% to over 90% among Democrats and independents. And "coup" isn't exactly the word I would use for a man that caused Jan 6, lol.

 

Most Jamaicans are of African descent. thanks for proving your ignorance
