    It’s ridiculous to think that Harris couldn’t have done what she wanted. Once you’re named the nominee, that’s it. They’re not going to back out.

      If she was unwilling to break from him because of his wishes, even if she was theoretically able, that speaks volumes about her as a leader.

          IF there is another election, HitlerPig will get 98% of the vote, and he’ll use his “popularity” with the American voters to justify defying the Constitutional prohibition against a 3rd term.

              He will do anything to preserve his slim Congressional majorities. They give him credibility, even though he is legislating through Executive Orders anyway.

              I expect that he will find an excuse to impose Martial Law and suspend elections until peace is restored.

              OTOH, if he allows elections to happen, it’s because he is confident that their cheating strategies will win, and we’ll even see strong blue districts flip.

              They will use polls reflecting current voter anger at weakling Democrats to justify the obviously fraudulent results.

            Elections are run at the state level, so they won’t be that interfered with.

            Not that it will matter; rigging the states with Republican state governments is more than enough

              There are plenty of treasonous Republicans at the state level, managing elections. They were very active over the last four years getting MAGATraitors into influential election positions. Rolling Stone had a landmark article last year identifying hundreds of MAGATraitors in important election positions around the country.

              Besides, between Muskrat, Russia, and China, and probably more, they have the best hackers on the planet to manipulate the process.

      The problem was her campaign was largely run by Biden’s people. He clearly was interfering with her campaign and she kept trying to make the most of it.

      I mean, that was the line from centrists anytime someone wanted any hope from harris that she might be less of a lapdog for netanyahu than biden was.
