Shortest Primary Season ever? Now that Kamala Harris has the delegates... [View all]

I think we have a presumptive nominee, and we should switch back to General Election Season on DU. That means Harris would be protected by DU rules, as Joe Biden was before he stepped down.

It’s late so I’ll wait until tomorrow to make an announcement, but in the meantime feel free to voice your support for or objections to this proposal.
