Kamala Harris closer to being nominee as DNC approves early virtual roll call vote
CBS News (archive.ph)

The Democratic Party will select its new nominee, virtually, as soon as Aug. 1, according to new rules passed Wednesday by the party's convention rules committee.
The Democratic National Committee also established that the party's candidate, which is likely to be Vice President Kamala Harris, must pick a running mate by Aug. 7, Ohio's current ballot deadline, which remains in effect. Harris' team is planning to finish the vetting of the VP field and expects her to pick her running mate by that date, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The DNC's newly adopted rules, the result of a long process that preceded President Biden's departure from the race, also establish a window for any Democrat to qualify and appear on the roll call ballot.
Harris' presidential campaign, and anyone seeking to challenge her, will need to file paperwork with the DNC and obtain digital signatures from at least 300 delegates, with no more than 50 from a single state, by July 30 at 6 p.m. ET.
That a challenger will meet that threshold to contest Harris' nomination is unlikely at this point. No notable Democrats who could challenge her have stepped forward; instead, the most likely figures quickly backed Harris. And in the days since Mr. Biden dropped out and endorsed her, Harris has won endorsements from well over 3,000 of the 4,000 pledged delegates. The number of delegate votes she would need to secure the nomination is 1,976.
"Many of you have probably seen the reporting that Vice President Harris has received expressed support from the majority of pledged delegates, and might wonder what that means for this process," said DNC Chair Jamie Harrison. "Delegates are free to support who they choose, and we are glad that they are engaging in this important moment in history. As a party, we have an obligation to design and implement a fair nomination process for delegates to officially express their preferences."
The committee's rules established that if it's just Harris who qualifies, the party would hold a roll call vote virtually as soon as Aug. 1, and not in person at its mid-August convention in Chicago.
If Harris does have a qualified challenger, Democratic Convention Chair Minyon Moore said the party would delay the roll call vote until Aug. 3, in order to allow candidates to make their case to delegates.
In May, the DNC made a push for a virtual process because of Ohio's Aug. 7 deadline for major parties to submit the names of their certified candidates for the November ballot.
While Ohio Republicans passed a law that pushed that deadline to Sept. 1, because it does not go into effect until Sept. 1, DNC officials cited potential litigation from Republican groups as a reason to go ahead with the early virtual roll call vote.
"If we take chances with state processes and deadlines, Republican groups could make the argument to challenge Democratic votes on the post-election side, arguing that our nominee should never have been on the ballot in the first place," said DNC outside counsel Pat Moore. "We should not and must not give them that opportunity."
Moore and other officials added that the nominee must have a running mate by Aug. 7, because Ohio requires both names to be certified by then.
"Failure to certify both nominees in advance of each state's ballot access deadline opens us up to very real political and litigation risks," he said.

Some are saying that Trump is losing it over Kamala’s rise in popularity.

I know that I've been a doomerfaggot all week, but the prospect of these debates concerns me. One, because we know the moderators are going to try their hardest to sink Trump, and two because I'm worried about Trump slipping back into 2020 form instead of presenting the one we saw last month in terms of restraint and demeanor. His 2020 debate performances against Biden were objectively horrible. A lot of that was due to the moderators, but the point still stands.

The prevalence of premarital sex has skyrocketed since the sexual revolution, to say nothing of shotgun marriage fixing many of said mistakes. You are being pedantic.
There is at least one person alive who survived Potter's Syndrome and has no greatly diminished quality of life, Abigail Beutler. It's not unlikely that the prognosis for this disorder will improve. How poor a prognosis does it have to be to justify an abortion, by the way? The most common disorder for which abortion is elected is Down's Syndrome.
Retarded. Welfare exists, charity exists, dad can earn more money etc. There's a reason fathers make more money than single men.
Very retarded. We're talking "2% higher prevalence than baseline for X complication" kinds of risks here, not "60% chance of maternal death".
If you want to be sterile, chop your balls/ovaries off. Unbelievable that anyone would complain they need an abortion because they can't wear a condom right.
It always comes back to rape babies.
The benefit of restricting abortion is not that the three mega retarded rape babies born a year are a massive boon to society. The benefit is treating pregnancy and parenthood seriously, not something you can Ctrl-Z away.

Because if there's one thing I can count on the Donald for, it's him shutting his trap when he's genuinely upset and the media ignoring chances to broadcast every stupid thing he ever says when he says it.
For sure. It's not like the man made a whole cult of personality twitter clone when the previous ownership took his account away from him.
Look, if there's anything we can count on Trump for, it's that if he was genuinely pissed Kamala's the best the Democrats can offer he'd fucking say it instead of the media reporting it as quasi-anonymous rumors.

Whenever a movie or show has an example of a fake social media site where everyone is commenting on a topic there is always the one weirdly thirsty commenter. I had hoped that would be exaggeration.

You guys watched Tucker Carlson's interview with Dr. Ben Carson?
I've never seen someone be so calm and quiet while simultaneously smashing skulls together. I suppose if anyone is qualified to smash skulls together, it would be Dr. Carson.

Yeah, I remember the Biden/Trump debate a few weeks ago, too. I remember everyone saying they would try their hardest to make Trump look bad and it backfired harder than Ballistic High-Speed's RPG-7. That debate single-handedly ground the Biden Bandwagon to a halt and exposed normie America to the fact that their current leader is a fucking vegetable.

Plausible deniability because the whole point of having an unusually early debate before the DNC convention was to expose Biden's dementia so he could be replaced. It was a balancing act of trying to tone down how much of a win it could have been for Trump if he had a crowd. Versus not exposing how far gone Biden truly is.

The bigger racial voting question I see is how people who are neither white nor black will respond to Kamala. When Obama ran he was seen as a symbol of peace and unity following the Bush years. He stoked the fires of racial animosity and since then the behavior of blacks toward other ethnic minorities has been demeaning if not openly hostile. They are clearly favored over all other "people of color" and represented in politics and especially entertainment media way out of proportion to their numbers. During the Summer of Love Latinos and other groups living adjacent to blacks had to set up neighborhood watch operations to keep their business from being burned down. A black president means something very different now than in 2008, so will Latinos, Asians and other groups accept it?

Yeah. Glasgow is a city. An Air Force base is also a small city. People - families - live in an Air Force base. This particular Air Force has fuck-all when it comes to NSA facilities.
The highest number of Reddit requests comes from New York. The highest per capita requests comes from this random ass Florida base. Not anywhere near Washington DC.
This works like 13/50. They clearly took the # of Reddit visits and divided it among the local population. All of these 100k visits could’ve been just one Tranny Janny and their obsession could’ve biased the entire base’s population. Reddit gets millions of visits every day. 100k visits over the history of Reddit is a small drop in the bucket.

This shit started coming out in droves two minutes after she announced her plan to run. They're just trying to will it into existence at this point.

In that instance CNN was clearly making their own power play to fuck over Biden. They weren’t being fair in the name of journalistic integrity, they had an ulterior motive to humiliate Biden on the national stage. Do not expect the same treatment in future debates.

Here's a fun fact. Drag Race episodes are recorded one year in advance for production time and editing. This entire season is dedicated to rallying people to vote against anti-drag laws (that are only being pushed because there's an obvious lack of gatekeeping / tranny wrangling) while also being a 'charity' season.
The only way this could have been pre-planned is if someone had 500 IQ and predicted she would be the potential nominee now. OR... there's a genuine conspiracy to replace Biden by the end of his tenure.
Otherwise?
Complete coincidence that happens to work out at the moment.
Also, fucking end me, this is such embarrassing shit.
