Trolling?

The U.S. Supreme Court restored Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to the Colorado primary ballot, ruling that the state lacked authority to disqualify him after his actions three years ago during the siege on the U.S. Capitol.

You mean 3 people Trump installed and a grifter who has taken millions in bribes invalidated the 10th amendment for a man who tried to overthrow our government

    C’mon man. Kamala? Don’t fear. Don’t respect. She’s garbage. This is all fake. But if she’s elected, this country is done for. Too bad. But maybe that is what we deserve.

you know who else you voted for?

The DNC, a private org, can choose their nominee however they want. The presumptive nominee removed himself. Trump’s team tried to get the 2024 Republican primary cancelled and name him the nominee  

Same party and political ideology that a private business can discriminate now upset that a private organization will pick its nominee

Of course it's going to be Kamala.  Even if anyone was dumb/narcissistic enough to throw his/her hat in the ring, she has the CA delegation, which is massive.  I imagine someone will throw a turd in the punch bowl in order to raise some campaign funds and get on that gravy train for a short while.  But this will be a done deal by the convention.  The Dems need to dot every I and cross every T to do this transition correctly because the GOP lawyers will be out in full force to try to fuck things up, and this SCOTUS may not care about a plaintiff's standing if it means flipping the election.  Don't even open the door there.  Do it to the letter of the law and relevant rules (which I think is what imma is getting at) through the convention.  

Still - loving the GOP concern trolling that somehow votes are being thrown away when their guy tried to just shut down the whole primary process earlier this year.  They seem so concerned about all the Dems votes not being counted earlier this year.  I need that same concern come November given that is where the real threat lies.

Hmm, where have I heard this before?

Ah, yes: https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3476977

Y'all need better talking points lulz

80 million people voted for Biden to be POTUS from Jan 2021 to Jan 2025 and that's what we will get. Was every president prior to the 70's not democratically elected because the parties didn't give a fuck about primaries? Has every politician that's ever resigned or refused a nomination subverted the will of the voters?

Next time you see lead paint chips recommended on Texags, remember you don't have to eat them just because all of your friends are.

This is absolutely going to SC.

While it was the right thing for Biden to step down, this is a Briar Patch for Trump. He doesn't even have to be right.

Would be smart to have someone else, who actually knows that they aren't going to get the nomination, say they are putting their name up. Let them speak at the convention, and get votes.  Then it wouldn't just be a fait de accompli that Harris is the nominee.

Good. Fucking do it. There's no one on the planet that understands that there's no such thing as bad publicity better than Donald Trump. Let's spend the next 4 months talking about the GOP trying to pull out all the legal stops because they're too scared* to face someone born post 1950. Every fucking night.

i don't understand the speculation about how it might even get to the courts? i mean...he won the primary, he declined the nomination, so now somebody else will be the nominee. i mean will they actually legitimately try to argue that there should be no democratic nominee? even in our insane timeline rn that's not gonna happen. you can't force someone to run for office.

Somehow the argument will be that Biden both must be the nominee but should resign the presidency 

Biden must be compelled to be the nominee even if it kills him. Again, it's flood the zone with bullshit and lawsuits to see if any of it can get a foothold.

What can SCOTUS rule?  There is not a democratic nominee. Biden has ended his candidacy. 

Biden has to, in his official capacity, snuff out all that seek to threaten the republic. It is his constitutional duty. His hands are tied.

on my TL, one of the not so surprising groups to worry about are Black men...

I think you're making a mistake in looking at it on the basis of merit as opposed to looking at ways the GOP can engage in ratfuckery.

It’ll have at least 3 scotus votes in support.

The 12th amendment clearly lays this process out.  It's one of the cleanest written amendments in the whole Constitution.  Plus it comes from 1804, an era that many justices have a hard-on for, the immediate aftermath of Marbury v. Madison.  

-There are no longer primaries, or even general ballots, for the VP slot.  It is treated as one federal ticket, administered by each of the states popular vote which feed into the EC.  And then as a fail-safe the convention system comes along decades later which lasts until 1968.  Which then evolves into this current primary system we've known for 56 years.  In none of those incarnations, have voters cast ballots for a VP directly which then dictate the statewide electors vote their EC ballot.  For a short while, you cast as an EC vote for both POTUS and VP, but that changed rapidly.  And again, at no time, were "the people" ever voting separately any longer for a VP.  And there was never any major party VP primaries.  

the whole "Americans were duped, this is unconstitutional!  they wanted Biden, now they get Harris!  Fake!"  Presidents select VP candidates every general election prior to, often before the convention.  If something were to happen to that POTUS nominee/incumbent between the selection and the general (death, assassination, resigning, incarceration, etc.), the party can move up the VP to the primary spot or open up the convention.  Nobody voted for Gerald Ford for VP.

Yeah this isn't surprising. Young black men, to be specific. This group was already gravitating to Trump and having a black woman is not going to help that at all frankly. Note I'm not talking about Trump winning this subgroup outright but getting 25%-30% of the black male vote. 

The hope is that there's upside with youth, women, independents, and that the Democratic base - of which black women in particular are a foundational part - is energized. If that proves true it's a worthy electoral trade off. If it doesn't you were probably never winning the election anyway because those were the same groups Biden was failing to reach.

I want President Harris, and I want Mayor Pete as Chief of Staff

Yeah the Trump campaign getting prominent rappers in the fold is specifically to target young black men

Here’s hoping mama and auntie let them have it for thinking of voting Trump

I've been wondering about the foundation for this behavior for years. I've asked some of my black female friends and I couldn't get a firm answer. Is it the male dominance trump puts out that resonates with them? Male Hispanics, especially Cuban males also.have been said to be drawn to this way of thinking.....I guess even at the expense of their right to vote ?

I could type a long answer as to why, but its rather simple; men don't take very well to women outperforming them.

Would we be shocked if there’s a segment of black men who already don’t think they have any rights because of the system they live in?

The more compelling speculation would be who Kamala picks for VP.

Those were related to pulling an insurrection. Which he did. 
 

Which in a normal democracy would be automatically disqualifying.
