Miller appeared on Fox News on Sunday, where he went off on a rant about the Democratic votes were thrown away as the party rallies around Vice President Kamala Harris.

"They held a primary. They had ballots. They filled out circles!" Miller shouted on Fox News. "They went to the voting booths. They spent money on advertisements!"

Still yelling, Miller says that Republicans also spent money running against Biden.

I don’t know if that as a theory works out in practice. You never primary a sitting first term President. It would arguably have looked worse if he walked away after one. It would look like the Dems don’t take the office seriously.

What the fuck do I have to do around here to find somebody who "won't take the office seriously" like that? Resurrect the Federalist Party?

A Cincinnatus/George Washington mentality is exactly what I want in an executive!

Yeah, I hate this rhetoric in general of "this is how it has to be done, we never deviate from the way we've always done it".

Cause the status quo has just been great, hasn't it everyone? What "worked" in all previous instances of less than 50 presidencies over the span of almost 250 years will surely continue to work in every context of the modern and future eras. Surely.
