You should read your own source. This is basically saying that if Republicans allow it to happen the name could be changed. Talk about naive.

A. No need for name calling

B. It says there might be lawsuits and contests, not that the GOP has to allow it to happen. From the article:

It is possible for parties and election authorities to change or work around these deadlines. For instance, in 2020, the Republican National Convention took place after the deadlines in Alabama and Ohio. In Ohio, the state legislature passed a law to change the deadline that cycle so it took place after the Republican National Convention, and in Alabama, the state's election authority accepted a placeholder letter from the RNC that said the party would certify a nominee once the official nomination took place.

It is also possible that changing the Democratic nominee could draw lawsuits related to ballot access. On June 21, 2024, the Heritage Foundation said it would file lawsuits in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin if Democrats nominated someone other than Biden.

Please point to the place where I name called someone.

You called them naive.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's is not calling someone a name. Ffs. That is a descriptor.

"You are being naive"

Is not the same as

"Dumbass"

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still an insult, which falls under name calling in my book

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Telling someone that they are being naive is not an insult. You should be old enough to understand that by this point in your life.

[–] Vodulas@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Telling someone when they are being naive when they don't agree with you is an insult. It is meant to dismiss them with a hand wave.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

You may find it insulting, but that doesn't mean it's incorrect and it most certainly is not name-calling.
