WASHINGTON -- Four days before the Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, the party's proposed platform names the wrong candidate for president.
The Democratic platform — essentially a document outlining goals and policy positions the party supports — has not been updated since a draft was released July 13, eight days before President Joe Biden abandoned his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
The committee in charge of compiling the platform worked for more than a year to draft it, including leaving room for key voices to comment and make changes earlier this summer. But the language set to go to the floor of the convention to be approved by delegates hasn't been modified since before Biden left the race. And the rules body is not scheduled to meet to update the platform before the convention begins Monday.
Harris hasn't released a detailed list of her policy positions since taking over the top of the Democratic ticket, though her campaign aides have suggested she no longer adheres to some of the more liberal positions she took during her first run for president in 2020, including endorsing a ban on hydraulic fracturing. The policy platform, which normally spells out a party's positions with heavy input from the presidential nominee's allies, currently doesn't provide insight into her direct views on key issues, either.
The platform is nonbinding. However, some Democrats criticized Republicans for failing to be more transparent while approving their party’s 16-page platform during the GOP convention last month in Milwaukee — including modifying the document to more closely adhere to former President Donald Trump’s positions on abortion and other key issues.

“Convention - perfect time for Gropin’ Joe to jump back in it!”
Biden can drop back in. At the least, his handlers can say that without a roll call of delegates, Biden is still the presumptive nominee. That will be comedic genius.
I don’t think it will be Biden.
I also have my doubts about Harris.
I still think either Hillary or Michelle have a shot at this.
However it goes, the whole thing is chaotic.
However it goes, the whole thing is entertaining.
Pass the popcorn, make mine well-buttered
Yup, Harris isn’t The One….for my $ it’ll be big mike
Will be nuts to see Big Mike come out of no where and like magic be the nominee.
Doesn’t matter WHO or WHAT the Dems pick as a candidate.
Remember, only 81 shopping days left to BUY AMMO!!!
Harris has oly been promoted so the DNC can resume getting $$$$$$$$$$$ from donors who objected to Joe
Kamala was
“Selected, not elected!!!”
(Throwback to Bush/Gore, and that slogan was Very Effective)
Harris is Obama’s 4th term. With more socialism-to-communism, and further destruction of our economic system.
The Marxist revolution is their goal.
Cackling is her policy position on many issues
Now that right there would require even more 🍿 than I have on hand.
“I still think either Hillary or Michelle have a shot at this”
^
Hillary is yesterday’s news, and Big Mike would only have to read off the Teleprompter for a few months before handing the reins to VP Gruesome.
“Harris is Obama’s 4th term.”

Any woman, but especially Big Mike, (having checked all the boxes) is a shoe-in.
(Men voted-in the 19th Amendment).
C'mon, man! She told us her taco preferences - isn't that enough??
(Do I really need a SARC tag?)
You can clearly see how the media would sell Big Mike.
Really black (not Jamaican or Indian).
Female (sort of)
Dark Horse dramatically nominated by acclamation at the Convention.
A return to the halcyon days of Obama.
Husband with fewer problems than Emhoff.
New chance at a better VP choice.
The media could gush over Obama from Aug to November and really sell it as a Second Coming.
And note: this is not necessarily about convincing 100 million actual Americans to vote for Michelle. This is all about plausibility so that when 100 million ballots are counted for Michelle, the country shrugs and says, “Well, it was pretty story-book. I guess a bunch of people voted for her.”
Dem party platform is easy: Duplicity
Deflecting
Underhanded
Plagiarize
Liar
Implicate
contentious
Instigate
Tactless
Yappy
“Remember, only 81 shopping days left to BUY AMMO!!!”
Check
Yes, Cackling.
Wonder how soon she will Lay the Egg.
“a draft was released July 13”
Before the assassination attempt on President Trump failed? Expecting it to succeed?
