As I write this, the Democratic Party primary process is over. It never began. Kamala Harris has begun campaigning. She is already considering a VP running mate. This despite the fact that former President Obama has asked for an open and competitive convention. And former New York mayor Bloomberg has advised to take our time, and do “it” right. Numbers of columnists and Democratic politicians have sought to censor debate on Harris’s qualifications by accusing critics of a MAGA racism and misogyny against the first black female candidate for president. In democratic contemporary America, this has been a proven and effective method of suppressing open debate in the pages of newspapers, church basement discussions, and college campuses. No need for arrests, the breaking up of demonstrations, senior editors censoring journalists.
