I’m going to take this point up about Kamala becoming a candidate, because I think it’s important to address this difference.
—Donald Trump committed felonies to try and invalidate millions of lawful votes. That’s not “saying mean things,” that’s attempting violate Americans’ civil rights. If we no longer understand the difference, we’re in real trouble.
—Kamala became the nominee through completely constitutional and lawful processes.
This isn’t the first time an incumbent decided not to run again. In 1968 when LBJ decided not to run again, the primaries had already started. People had already voted for him. Later, RFK (senior) got in the race, but after some states had primaries, so some voters who would’ve liked to vote for him didn’t get the chance.
And every primary, we hold them on different days—so by the time my state and others vote, it’s already decided, and out votes are meaningless. This happened in the primary process every time and no one says a thing.
Some states don’t even have primaries.
There’s just no comparing these at all.
