It's 2 days after Biden has pulled out. Harris has absorbed all the funds (my understanding is that is what happens because she's on the same ticket with Biden). "I have enough delegates behind me." Record donations flowing in. Most competitors falling in line.

It's hard to not look at this and see a carefully orchestrated campaign to put Harris on track for president when she likely wouldn't have stood a chance in an open democratic primary. Given the war chest she now has, she is the de facto candidate. Others that for sure have ambitions are falling in line because they understand this and want to maintain their chances of at least securing senior positions given the biggest role is now out of reach.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party voters had zero say in who their candidate is. This is not a partisan issue. This is blatant undermining of the democratic process, and it should worry everyone - within the US and in the Western world.
