Not beating the coronation allegations.

Also for those who don't know, "the south got something to say" - she's quoting Andre 3000 at the 1995 Source Awards, a historic moment for southern hip-hop. This whole thing is a joke.

DNC voters are such good little pawns

I’ll never forget how Kamala was such a deeply unpopular candidate in 2020 that she got a total of 0 delegates in her home state. Everything about politics is completely manufactured by the bourgeois

It's clear as day and yet we're the crazy ones for pointing this out.

More and more obvious in the internet age

I'm pretty sure she suspended her campaign well before the California primary election. At least I looked it up and her campaign's Wikipedia says she suspended in December of 2019. That primary was in March of 2020, so it would be kind of odd if she got a lot of votes.

she dropped then because it was the last day before the deadline to be removed from the California ballot

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So she wasn't even on the ballot? Seems reasonable to get 0 delegates for your home state if you're not even on the ballot.

she was not on the California ballot. she got 0 delegates in any state. she did get 844 total votes because she still wound up on the ballot in a couple random eastern states, deadline had already passed on those I imagine

[–] jaywalker@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but the original comment I replied to said she didn't get delegates in her home state due to unpopularity. However, she wasn't even on the ballot and had withdrawn from the primary 4 months before that. The original comment is simply misleading and kind of hilarious given their phrasing "I'll never forget..."

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

She dropped because she knew she didn't have a chance in her home state lol

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 29 points 3 months ago

yeah and now she’s all but pre determined to be president because “it’s what my tv said”

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

I like to frequently point out that Kamala Harris and I have received the same number of delegates in US presidential elections
