I see what you mean, but I was talking about the HHH from 1968.

He may not have won any primaries but however many votes he had in 1968 it was more than Kamala had in 2024.

I don’t know what Bill is talking about but if it’s wrestling that would track.

And? What difference does it make?

In February he was still skillful enough a negotiator to make a deal with Mike Johnson on aid to Israel and Ukraine that really wasn't what Johnson wanted the deal to be.

In July he couldn't hold his own in a debate with Trump, who is pretty much of a loser when it comes to debating.

Something happened. One of the many possibilities that was anticipated in the detailed nomination rules that the Democratic Party has put together.

You sure? Newsom promised to replace Kamala Harris with a black woman Senator but did Biden say that his VP would be a black woman or just a woman?

No, I would just be disappointed if you didn't understand that Democrat is a noun and Democratic is an adjective, and that deliberately using them in the opposite way is a sign of contempt.

Truth.
However, Republicans are known for reaching out to the people who don't use much brain power for critical thinking.
They prefer low energy,sloped forehead knuckle dragging types.

This is how they were able to brainwash so many into believing the astronomical bullshit they vomit daily.

I could not find the Citation so i.may have confused the selection of kamala harris with katanji brown Jackson

"Biden, who won the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination in large part because of strong support from Black voters, noted that he committed during that campaign to name a Black woman to a lifetime post , opens new tab on the high court and would keep his promise. "Our process is going to be rigorous."

Party is a noun and democratic is an adjective.

The terms noun, verb, adjective are usually applied to single words.

"Democratic Party" is a proper name.

It’s using the word as an adjective that’s a problem.

It’s similar to Jew and Jewish.

S-P says it well.

It's the use of Democrat as an adjective that is deliberately contemptuous. It's a fine noun.

Adjectives that pertain to proper nouns are capitalized.

Democratic - but only when referring to the Party. A democratic process is lower case.

It's the Republican Party, but a republican form of government.

LOL.

"He's a Jewish accountant." Fine in many contexts.

"He's a Jew accountant." No way that's OK.

Similarly, using the noun Democrat as an adjective is done to be deliberately offensive.

Trump will be slightly better for you personally than Harris if the national economy is the same under either.

But it won't be. Harris will actually be better for you because the economy as a whole will grow faster under her. Income inequality is bad for economic growth.
