Everyone involved in blocking or preventing her release should get prison time and lifetime ban from working in legal, law enforcement, public service.
I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.

They want the chaos. They want government to be broken. That way they’ll pay few to no taxes, they can afford filters for their water. They can afford clean food and drugs.
Another option is for Harris to be viewed as the strong front-runner and still allow for an open process, just with the understanding that few, or even no, viable Democrats would challenge her out of fear of being ostracized. In recent weeks, Democratic Govs. Gavin Newsom of California and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan both said they would not run against Harris.
That would be something of a pro forma process then, still selecting Harris.
Apparently Harris isn’t polling much better than Biden overall:
Public and private polls show Harris marginally outperforming Biden, but that she runs stronger than other would-be contenders with crucial demographics, particularly Black voters. Harris supporters and allies contend those surveys merely represent her floor and that support for Harris would grow once she assumed the mantle as the titular head of the party.
However, it might be that she is expected to perform better in the specific states at issue (assuming that switching up the candidate doesn’t alter which states might be swing states…that’s a substantial change).
Part of me wonders if this whole thing is all just a secret ploy by the NRA to encourage more democrats to buy guns. Because every day I learn something new about Project 2025, and the feeling of "I should be better-defended" creeps in.
I honestly am out of fucks to give about Israel anymore. I don’t care what happens to them except that they stop taking money from my fucking government.
You – as in, the public – wouldn’t be part of this process. The primaries have already happened; the door for a public vote on the matter is closed. This is talking about what kind of party-internal process should happen. She’s talking about whether members of the Democratic Party would get some ability to pick potential alternatives, rather than simply party leadership simply selecting someone.
Whatever happens will happen at the Democratic convention (if Biden steps down and if anything happens at all).
