   Biden's dropping out is; Harris' coronation less so. A fundamental   
   hallmark of 'democracy' is the will of the people to select their   
   candidate. In 2020 they made that perfectly clear when they wholly   
   rejected Harris in stunning fashion and selected Biden. They didn't get   
   that chance this time around. The choice was made for them...almost in   
   dictatorial fashion. So much for 'the right to vote.'   
      
   And that's all fine. If democrats want those to be the rules, great. But   
   the collective cries of 'democracy' ring hollow, if not hypocritical.
