Live updates: Harris has support from enough Democratic delegates to become presidential nominee, AP survey finds

Let's also do something that will actually help achieve it.

The only problem is that RCV has basically bipartisan opposition in stronghold states. You see it being blocked in red southern states, but it also failed to pass in Massachusetts, which is as blue as they come.

RCV makes it likelier that the currently prevailing party ends up as the #2 vote on more people's ballots (i.e. eliminating the need for "vote blue no matter who") and that threatens their overall presence in government, so they do whatever they can to stall efforts to implement RCV.

There are two camps of Democrats:

• The ones who want a very open fresh nomination process to emphasize the differences between their party as good faith across in picking their candidate when compared to the GOP.
• The ones who want the process done ASAP so the focus can turn to fund raising and campaigning, because they feel Harris is the natural and best candidate.

The Obamas fall into the first camp. I don't think they are anti-Harris. They just want to ensure as much transparency as possible.

I don't think either camp is wrong. They both have their merits. But the group who want the nomination process done and dusted as soon as possible are clearly in the majority.

Almost like it was planned!
