Progressives enraged as Democrats reportedly privately admit Trump isn't an 'existential threat to democracy'

[DigitalDrifter]

This has got to infuriate the entire party!

Liberals on social media seethed in reaction to Democratic lawmakers reportedly admitting behind the scenes that former President Trump isn't a "threat to democracy" as their party loudly claims.

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein appeared on The Bulwark Podcast Tuesday and revealed what "top Democrats" have told him off the record as they panic over whether they should support or abandon President Biden on their ticket.

"Threatening" to replace Biden with a 3rd candidate (like Newsom) and by-passing Harris is a threat to democracy.

What do you base that on?

When you vote in a primary, you aren't voting for the candidate, you are voting for delegates.

In fact, the notion of the candidate being picked in primaries is a relatively recent one.

Securing the primary vote guarantees you committed delegates based on the percentage of votes each candidate received. Biden received over 3800 delegates, nearly double the required number. Democrats have no choice but to move forward with Biden, yet, they continue to pressure Biden to drop out .. and it's pretty evident who they have in mind: Newsom.

Newsom? The guy who bankrupted California?

Trump will eat him for lunch.
