Vice President Kamala Harris quickly racked up endorsements after President Joe Biden exited the 2024 race, but some made the case for an open convention.

      They’re trying out new talking points, unrelated to “Is this lady gonna try to end democracy or not,” for reasons for people not to support Harris

      She was a prosecutor being another. Of course, that’s only when talking to the left; when targeting semi-conservatives who are just too sensible to want to support Trump (which is a sizable fraction of the Democrats’ base), I suspect they may soon start trying crypto-bigoted arguments like about her laugh or that she’s unstable and crazy. You know… you know what I’m saying.

          I still remember when the GOP tried to make a scandal about a video of AOC dancing

          Like what in the fuck kind of Nathaniel Hawthorne bullshit is this… WOMEN DANCING WHAT THE FUCK WE MUST PUT A STOP TO IT

      You’ve never heard that term in American politics before?

      It’s not uncommon

        Just because a bunch of worthless chud journalists write blog posts using the word doesn’t magically change the definition.

          Coronation is a word that’s been commonly used in US politics - this isn’t unique to this election.
