We're really, really tired of the media trying to paint Kamala Harris as the duly-elected Democratic Party nominee. She wasn't elected. Not one voter cast a ballot for Kamala Harris in 2024 and so few did in 2020 that she dropped out of the primary that year before Iowa with precisely zero delegates.

She was installed, selected by Joe Biden and the party just went with it. They could've had a snap primary and let voters -- you know, the ones who rejected Kamala in 2020 -- pick a nominee. Yet they didn't.
But because the media and the Democratic Party want to pretend they're the 'defenders of democracy', they have to pretend things didn't play out the way we've all seen them play out.
Which is why The New Republic is playing the 'Kamala's campaign is grassroots' card. And failing.
How Harris's supporters built a campaign powered not from the top down, but from the grassroots up:https://t.co/MbtaH9FLg4

They write, with a straight face:
Imagine, for just a moment, if Kamala Harris’s supporters were prone to the sort of political idolatry that characterizes Donald Trump’s devotees. It’s a thought experiment suited to an election for which the word historic feels inadequate to capture either Harris’s political ascent or the sheer number of unprecedented events that led to it. There is the aberration of Trump, the twice-impeached, feloniously convicted, rape-adjudicated former president—a bitter old racist returned for a third time to usher in the white supremacist autocracy that his attempted coup failed to. In any election, President Joe Biden’s age and enfeeblement since taking office would have been an issue of concern, but under the threat of Trumpism, Biden’s disastrous debate performance jettisoned the false narrative that he alone was a bulwark for democracy. Harris—elected in 2020 as the first woman, first Black, and first South Asian vice president because her résumé of legislative and prosecutorial public service made her uniquely suited for the job—should have been recognized as a better candidate than both of those men from the start.

OMG -- LOL.
This is insane Kamala fanfic and nothing more.
How stupid would anyone have to be to believe that a woman who inspires zero enthusiasm from anyone has some kind of grassroots up campaign as opposed to one entirely directed and astroturfed from the top down?

Stupid. Like The New Republic staff.
How many primary votes did she get? pic.twitter.com/0YKojbpNSQ

BUT GRASSROOTS! Or something.
She didn’t win a single primary delegate in 2020 or 2024.
This is “grass roots” only if your grass is George Clooney, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.

She's a woman of the people. Or something.
If by grassroots you mean DNC machinations and media top cover, then sure.
— Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) October 13, 2024
That's exactly what they mean.
Installed by party bosses, never received a single vote in the primary.
Not grassroots.

Yeah. Memo to The New Republic: words mean things.
“Built a campaign”? She was shoved on stage with zero votes when your preferred geriatric crapped the public bed.

We all saw how this played out, too.
the fact that you need to lie about this lets us know what her weakness is

It sure does.
This is just ridiculous, even for you guys…
— Rebecca Downs🇺🇸🟦🇮🇱 (@RebeccaRoseGold) October 13, 2024
It sure is.
Grassroots?
She didn’t even receive a single primary vote.
What’s your definition of grassroots? https://t.co/ReYRa63obl

We'd love to hear them define 'grassroots', for sure.
She was literally installed by the Washington DC Democrat establishment. https://t.co/WzRSDPR6E7

Quite literally. And we all saw it.
Zero votes. Zero. https://t.co/4ZpMUR0vRR

ZERO. VOTES.
No one even voted for her what even is this 😂 https://t.co/UZnz0HxuXT
