Democracy is a word that isn’t used in the Constitution of the United States, and there’s evidence that the Founders were wary of the idea. But the Constitution doesn’t govern party primaries, and some level of democracy is advertised (despite Super Delegates). Now, despite Democrats having chosen Joe Biden as their candidate at the polls, they have been given Kamala Harris instead, along with whoever she chooses as her running mate, who voters will have had zero input on. David Stockman laments Kamala Harris’s coronation, writing at LewRockwell.com:
Hurrah, they finally took away Grandpa Joe’s keys. Fortunately, the political upheaval that is sure to follow is no joke. Actually, it begs to turn out more like the Great Cackle that saved America.
What we mean is that the collective Dem Hive on the banks of the Potomac not only defenestrated “Joe Biden” from a second floor White House window, and did so unceremoniously and without regard for his frail infirmities, but it also effectively knee-capped the credibility of the whole Democrat Party by coronating Kamala Harris in one instantaneous fell swoop. And that’s the real hurrah!
After all, the Dems held a “primary” in which 15 million of the party faithful voted for “Joe Biden” because the party insiders had instituted up to 60 rules changes and process maneuvers that closed the door to all competition—most especially Robert Kennedy Jr. Indeed, these procedural roadblocks were so daunting that they surely would have prevented even FDR or the Lord Jesus Christ himself from challenging their handpicked champion of “saving democracy” in America.
Yet these same warriors for “democracy” have already—-within hours of the Tweet signed by “Joe Biden”—anointed Kamala Harris as the new presumptive nominee. Never mind what the 3,896 delegates “pledged” to Joe Biden might think or even what the 747 superdelegates pledged to the donor class might prefer. The beltway insiders and their K-street capos were not about to have an open convention—lest an unseemly row in Chicago open the door to a Trumpian return to the Oval Office. And that’s absolutely verboten because, well, democracy.
