(11,919 posts)that article didn't show up in my search. That seems like a discussion of using a UAW location for a procedural nomination.
The comment I replied to seemed more in line with the divisive crap in the Fox "news" article
Reuters sent it to my phone.
Thanks, ehrnst.

(11,919 posts)as the Reuters article states:
Although Bidens delegate numbers mean his nomination is a formality, other primary candidates are still expected to be introduced to the audience as nominees as part of the pageantry of the week-long event.
It's just a customary formality. Fox "news" remains the only site slanting it in a shitstirring way that I've now seen a couple posters use here today. Unlike the smear being attempted, Sanders is not demanding to be nominated as a way of causing trouble for Biden.
