Well they have less than half the corporate tax rate of Minnesota, more honkeys, and a shitload of energy yet are ranked way below Minn. Weird! This Walz guy is some type of super business genius!!

ND is one of the few states I have never been to. Love Maine! Im guessing they are both whitesville

This is the nomination process in this unusual situation. I assume it’s the same for the Republicans. The delegates select the Nom.

People voted for Biden in the primaries. He then stepped down. This is how the nom is picked after that.

It was made clear if they went to the convention that Kamala would get all the delegates. They just did it in advance. What don’t you get about this?

The delegates picked her after Biden stepped down. The endorsement of Biden, along with everyone in the party in Congress, Governorships, the State party delegate leaders, etc made it pretty clear this was the candidate that would get the nod at the Convention.

I wouldn’t say I am happy with how this played out. But not really unhappy either. Kamala did seem to be the best choice for a variety of reasons after Biden stepped down. Thus far she has exceeded my expectations.

This is an unusual case. There is a process in place however. It does not involve redoing the nomination vote or delaying the election (that one is pretty funny TBH, sorry). Quickly googled this for you but I think it will answer your questions on why and how this occurred: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/what-happens-biden-steps-down-2024/

My rights weren’t taken away.

People’s rights weren’t taken away.

the delegates selecting Kamala prior to the convention is a dictatorship!

“When there is a will there is a way” isn’t an answer

This isn’t an answer. This is the process. Delegates lined up in advance of the Convention to go with Kamala.

Sorry I don’t think this is realistic. I think the Republicans would have had a problem with this.

He still could have stayed. He is the Prez. It wouldn’t have been smart So…again…what process should they have used to pick a new candidate after he dropped?

He chose to run again. Ego is a powerful drug. Yeah he got the boot after he crapped the bed. He could have stayed then if he wanted too TBH. In any case…after he drops out how would you propose the next nom be selected other than how it occurred?

Dancing chicks now have the giant ribbon on the stick. This is very impressive.

Right how would that occur in July the year of the election?

They have quite a few big businesses there in Minneapolis that I am aware of: 3M, Target, Best Buy. I don’t know what your point is about the whites. Why isn’t West Virginia crushing, they are white as an episode of Leave it to Beaver and the place looks like Eastern Europe circa 1974. So what is your point again?

This was Biden’s choice to run. He earned it, but it was a bad decision on his part. Now dealing in reality…what way do you propose this could have been handled differently?

In theory sure but a bunch of delegates being shuffled around by some random dudes doesn’t seem that much better. Furthermore, in practice (at least listening to political nerds discuss this on some podcast) they best described this idea of it working as a fairy tale. Not like a West Wing episode that people have in mind. Would have been fractious, a mess, and push the selection back weeks giving even less time for the Dem candidate. Biden focked this up. It has gone about as seamless as possible up to this point. I don’t think many would have imagined it could go better.

This dancing with hula hoops and plastic balls event is crazy. This chicks have serious skills.

How would you propose this have been handled?

I’m guessing Maine or North Dakota is honkeyville, USA.

High corporate tax rate yet they still do fine and companies thrive there Not following your point about the whites. Producing energy is obviously important. Personally just asking to move away from dirty sources as fast as possible without damaging our economy. Definitely a fan of promoting new energy sources through tax breaks and we should lead in this category.
