      More importantly; it kinda doesn’t really matter if anyone complains about it because philosophically what Dems are doing just isn’t democratic. They’re not giving anyone a choice. And Kamala calling up the delegates to make them back her to discourage any challengers is completely undemocratic. Jessica was so completely off base when she tried to argue there was an open primary when in some states like Florida they just chose to not hold a primary at all.

      No, it's the fact that the actions reflect the will of the voters that makes it democratic.

    Ok as a leftist, this episode is my biggest disappointment with Jessica. Is she out of her mind? She thinks “earning” the nomination by Harris calling the delegates and privately getting them to agree to vote for her and scaring away any competition instead of inviting it (and then prevailing) is a democratic process?
    If this is what we are going to get for all her positions going forward, I’m probably going to have to quit watching the show. Bri had some etiquette issues, but she wasn’t this nuts.

Even if that is 100% true (could be - I sure don't know) we can not just assume that 81 million voter support Harris equally along with Biden just because the voted for Him - that is just conjecture. Essentially, this is mainly about the president and not the VP. Its not called a vice - presidential election.
