The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

      I mean, realistically we knew it four years ago…

      Its why we kept trying to argue Biden needed a better VP. But moderates told us VPs don’t matter.

      I can hold my nose for Kamala, but fuck man. If there ain’t a real primary next election I’m over the party.

      I’ve voted D for president for literally 20 years now…

      08 was the only time I didnt just vote against the Republican party.

        Oh my god stop with the “moderates told us” stuff, it’s such an obvious attempt to split people apart.

        If the DNC doesn’t take this as a wake up then I don’t know how we’re going to avert catastrophe. But I can already see another primary in 2028 with no challengers because the DNC scared them all off to protect the incumbent democratic president. And I’m not sure what happens with 3 sham primaries in a row.

            Oh wow, I’m really frickin tired. They weren’t in a row. My mind jumped from 2016 where Hillary Clinton already had control of the party’s assets to 2024 and 2028. Sorry about that.

              No problem.

              I won’t go so far as to say 2016 was rigged, but the DNC definitely tipped the scale for somebody who already was going to get the nomination regardless.

              The fact of the matter is, Bernie pulls more support from independents than he does centrist democrats. He proved that the left is taking over the party, but we aren’t where we need to be yet.

                He also proved that the party will fight tooth and nail against the left but then just expect to win without trying against the right.

          They don’t care. They’re all corporate removed anyway, they’ll thrive under Republicans, except for the few of them who do actually care and would be too noisy.

          Those who voted for them are the ones who should worry – those whose existence and well being actually do depend on Republicans not being in power
