I love that you lot complain that it’s not REAL democracy because the DNC is so sneaky behind the scenes, and then in the same breath demand that the DNC undemocratically appoint someone as their candidate who appeals to you and your fellows, voters be damned.
And you wonder why everyone thinks of you as fascists.
It’s the duty of the party to nominate an electable candidate is it not? They had a farce of a primary this year, so the only hope left is a hail mary out of the convention.

Oh, so now you DON’T care about democracy in the party. How convenient, how your ideals change depending on which allows you to scream “BOTH SIDES” the loudest.
Democracy in the party flew the coop when we didn’t have a real primary this year. Having a single candidate is not democracy. It’s a rubber stamp oligarchy.
Why wasn’t democracy destroyed then? C’mon, show a little consistency! Go ahead, it’s not like anyone is falling for the “Very Concerned And Democratic Voter” at this point. It’s quite clear that you don’t give a single good goddamn about democracy except insofar as it allows you to undermine anyone who isn’t a fascist. Like how you decried the DNC for not being democratic enough and then immediately pivoted to claiming the DNC should disregard the voters entirely.
I never said democracy as a whole was destroyed. I said the party is looking for people to rubber stamp it’s oligarchs. If you want to be dismissive that’s fine but at least keep up.
The convention absolutely can select a different candidate.

Just like democracy was destroyed in 2012 when there wasn’t a real primary for Obama. I guess we’ve just been drifting in a sea of fascism ever since.
It certainly wasn’t a good thing.
