You make it sound like the GOP had a primary. They basically didn't. When you have a single candidate hold rabid fanbase to give him 30% of the GOP voter base while the other 12 candidates cannibalize the remaining 70%, the outcome is pretty obvious. If it was Desantis vs Trump from the start, then it may have been a better representation of what right leaning voters would have wanted.
The Republicans practicing more democracy than the Democrat Party is not the flex you think it is.
As for this, just try and find people on the left who are angry. You may find a couple here and there, but overall, people are breathing a sigh of relief. Nobody wants another RBG situation. Kamala is extremely qualified for the job, and will take Trump to task on every single one of his lies in a debate. Trump paid stormy to spank him, and now he'll get spanked on stage for free.
The party of 'muh democracy' doesn't care who the billionaire donors put into office.

Your entire identity is being anti-Trump. Even if it means being anti-democracy.

Bringing this to the current page:

The only thing I'm scared of is our democracy being attacked by the Democrats. They're taking away our right to vote as we speak.

Prove this

This is a joke right? You idiots attempted to overthrow the 2020 election.
 
The Republicans are in a panic because they revolved their entire campaign around attacking Biden. What exactly were they doing for the nation if it didn't involve a jab at Biden anyways? Now, after billions (?) of dollars and years spent, they can't lean on that anymore. Continually talking about how Biden is too old to lead (Trump is older now than Biden was back in 2020) and how he should drop, but their act was with the assumption that Biden would stick to it and give them the edge they needed. But, Biden dropped out and endorses Harris, who could be their worst enemy. And Republicans are furious about this. It's so entertaining how they are crying that they should receive a refund on the cost of their campaign. This is just desperation of a party that has no idea what to do when faced with consequences for their own actions, wasting people's money because they spent it on attacking someone rather than building up their case. If Trump did not fear Kamala, then he wouldn't find excuses not to debate against her. He got what he wanted at the last debate, so expecting more is expecting too much.

I think it's a VERY credible thing to not want to put an admitted sex offender and proven fraudster in the highest office of the land. I'm sure that 10 years ago, you would have thought the same as well. But hey, bro's before hoes, right?

Seriously, the situation opens up exactly what was expected. Republicans having no clue what to do because they never thought anyone would let go of power voluntarily.

Trump is still waiting for Biden to call his supporters to storm Kamala's house
 
It's telling that he chose to run as a Republican instead. Of course, he's basically called Republican voters idiots straight to their faces, and they cheer him for it.

Kamala and Biden calling 18-24 year olds stupid, to their faces, yet uninformed liberals still voted for them:

Weird how the left loved Trump............. until he decided to run against them.

Just wait until Taylor swift gives her endorsement, the right is going to lose it; they do have kid rock though!
Celebrity endorsements are a microcosm of what's wrong with our democracy

Big celebs endorsing politicians actually does nothing, but it does inflate the massive egos of useful idiots like Taylor Swift

Biden is out of touch, no shocker there. The Kamala quote looks like two clips poorly spliced together.

You're suggesting leftists...Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists...at some point loved a billionaire. How stupid are you, exactly?

End of the day, celebrities are just people. They're free to endorse whoever they want. It's when they start believing that they're qualified to hold political power that they start becoming truly problematic.

Re: the left and "liking" Trump

It's politics, if people think money doesn't get you photo ops with politicians and invites to events - they simply don't understand politics

Yes Trump rubbed shoulders with Dems, because he was giving them money and politicians need to win elections

Trump craves attention so of course he was giving money to Dems including his now rival Kamala Harris

Democrats aren't leftists though, and I'm tired of permitting the false equivalency. The US has no leftist party, relative to global politics. Supporting universal healthcare is a centrist position anywhere you go in Europe, for example.

Left and Right are relative

Minimum wage was progressive once upon a time

In terms of the US political compass the Dems are to the left

It's silly to start pretending there is some universal compass here - the socialists in Europe now hold positions which will be seen as regressive one day - it's the simple result of an ever changing world

Raising minimum wage would still be a progressive move today, as federal minimum wage remains $7.25, well under the poverty line. Progressive and leftist still have two distinct meanings, though. Leftist would be something like nationalizing banks, which actually doesn't seem unreasonable for the ones that taxpayers had to bail out.

In terms of the US political compass the Dems are to the left
A result of Republicans moving so far right that they dragged the Overton window with them. Democrats overall are center, maybe even center-right. The few democratic Socialists among them could be considered leftist, but they hold little sway over the party at large.
