For registered Democrats: how do you feel about not having a choice in the nominee? Seems odd that there wasn’t at least some attempt at a process and maybe one televised debate?

To be fair there's a lot more context missing: 1. Joe Biden defeats a dozen D's via democratic vote to become nominee in 2020 2. Joe Biden, as is his now ordained role, chooses Harris who succeeds him in the event of death or impairment 3. Joe Biden defeats all challengers to his 2024 nomination, with Harris known to be his running mate. Democrats (I'm registered Ind.) made their choice and affirmed their choice. He had the delegates, and his endorsement was sufficient to shore up enough delegates who's duty it is to choose the nominee, even if that has to be done in a less directly 'democratic' fashion. That's the representative democratic system the DNC has chosen.

OK, so even more context: 1. Joe Biden almost loses the democratic vote, until entire Dem Party apparatus (including Obama, Bloomberg, media, and more) jumps in to sway voters 2. Joe Biden chooses Harris, who got zero delegates in 2020 as his VP 3. Dem Party holds no debates, limits ballot access, once again uses all party apparatus for 2024 primaries. Everyone, including liberals, agree that there was no real primary Among what Dems could ever offer, Harris is probably a good candidate (I still dislike a lot of her stances). But this process reeks of topdown elitism
