Not by the 15 million people of the democrat party who voted in primaries this past year. Not a single one of those 15 million people voted for her.

They cannot comprehend that for so e reason . She never had to run for it she was picked by the elites mainly Pelosi
Again you are reading what you want to read into my quotes. You presented my quote above that says that’s what is typically done: people vote for delegates. Delegates vote for the candidate.
What is atypical is that a candidate stepped down very late in the process.
That is correct. Nevertheless the delegates voted for her, therefore she was elected.
You are partially right. But the fact is that she was voted by the delegates. And none of you have refuted that.
IMO the mention of “typically” is disingenuous.
Factually, what happened was not typical. Candidates do not step down so late in the process.
What happened indeed was what was supposed to happen under dnc rules. No one challenges that but they would repeat the nonsense about “typical.”

You won't vote for her anyway, so why are you bitching?
As a Democrat, I have zero problems with Kamala being the candidate.

Agreed 100%. But since they proclaim themselves to be "the party of democracy" they are in complete denial regarding how their own party behaved these past several months.
You can keep saying it but that don't make it right.
People put a check in the box next to the name "Joe Biden". No one voted for Pete Smith, delegate.

They have to come up with some lame excuses and weasel excuses for her.
Do you deny that the way the party reacted to a late withdrawal was exactly according to the party rules?
If we completely canceled the voting taking place November 5 (and also canceled the early voting already underway in several states) and appointed Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Nancy Pelosi in charge of deciding the next President, and they voted 3-0 in favor of Harris, then according to your moronic logic, Harris was "elected" President.
Meanwhile, the way 99.999% of America uses the word "elected," it does not include the ham-fisted, borderline-corrupt nomination process that resulted in Harris being the nominee.
You know I'm right.
Fine. So they vote for a box next to “Jo Biden” name which means they are voting for Joe Biden delegate. Then those delegates vote in the convention. Is that not what basically happened? If you claim what happened was not according to the rules (though you have admitted that it was legal) then be specific. Exactly what part was not according to the dnc rules?
You are making yourself into a pretzel. Here, tell us which you disagree:
1. People voted for delegates, or more specifically Biden delegates
2. Delegates voted for harris
Which part you disagree with? And which part was “appointed” rather than “elected”?

I neither know nor care what the democrat party rules are. What happened was completely unprecedented and I suspect they simply made up the rules as they went. That aside, I have stated several times that as a private political party, they can legally do whatever they want, including screwing over their own constituency.
They have every legal right to have a group of about a half dozen people who control the party decide who the nominee is. Just don't be so stupid as to tell us this individual was democratically elected as the nominee.
