@CountValentine, @biobook.
This guy is using other words to say what I've been saying. This is what this election is about. It's a threat to democracy vs an old man with quite a few flaws. I'll take the latter at any given day.
I don't know who this guy is, but his argument seems to be that choosing Harris to replace Biden is the death of democracy.
He offers no evidence to support his understanding of what democracy is, and he makes no reference to the rules in our democracy for dealing with this particular situation.
Both parties have rules about how to handle the case where someone who won the primaries is unable to run for election (whether it's due to dropping out, being ousted, being assassinated, dying a natural death, having some disqualifying secret revealed, etc).
If it happens after the primaries but before the convention, then the delegates go to the convention and vote on whom to nominate (after a few days of speeches, discussions, arguments).
If it happens after the nominating convention but before the election, then members of the national committee (RNC or DNC) vote on whom to nominate.
There are more details, but those seem to be the basic procedures.
If you have a problem with the existing rules, then discuss those rules, because both parties have them.
Trump decides tomorrow that he doesn't want to run after all. What are the Republican party's rules for handling this situation? Do you agree or disagree with them? Should they hold a primary in each state, with 10-15 candidates? How will they raise funds for campaigning, with just 3 weeks before the election?
