Handing VP Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination without having her compete in primaries is a throwback to less democratic ways of picking nominees, a political scientist says.
They were busy handwringing about how John Kerry was a coward, Gore was boring, and Howard Dean yelled real loud that one time. And, in the meantime, their friends they were running cover for were pulping the American economy for everything they could get, squeezing the vulnerable for every last little drop of blood they could manage to extract, and then throwing a lot of them in prison (profitable! it’s just a smart decision) to get rid of them.
Corporately owned media. Their bottom line is money. Not truth or enlightenment. And most of these owners literally salivate at the thought of being part of the group of fascists that get to make the rules and rake in the resources. Much more than anything we need to see a dissolution of many of these groups. At least in terms of news coverage. There can still be news platforms of course. But the focus should be on the journalist themselves. And their reputations. And not monolithic easily corruptible institutions.
The entire two party system + electoral college is undemocratic.
So why is this tabloid arguing solely about Harris? Where was all this handwringing for the last century?

Dukakis looked silly in a picture while the Reagan admin was committing treason
