This. Getting Biden in as a VP would threaten the legitimacy of the democracy, which was already in jeopardy by the DNC shoving the candidate through very weak primaries.
No, I’m not being sarcastic, and actually I am quoting Vlad Vexler. The trheat to democratic trust is that Biden was squeezed through without proper opportunity for party members to compare candidates. Twice (the Bernie Sanders case also being pretty murky.
If Biden was brought in as Vice President, then ppl would just assume that something shifty is happening behind the scenes, again.
The stated threat to democracy is via a threat to trust in democratic structures.
Don’t get me wrong. I am neither American, nor conservatives (even on non-US levels.)

i guess so, but that would a problem with the DNC specifically. And aside from it not being a direct democracy, i’m not sure there’s a huge problem with that, because you can still run an independent alongside the primary DNC runner for example.
I’d try to avoid the Putin/Medvedev president -vice switch vibes…
