Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
Yeah, it’s funny how the truth and facts don’t always fit into a single paragraph. When you make a wildly ridiculous sweeping allegation, and EVERY fact contradicts it, it takes time to properly tear it all down, only to have you double down with “Don’t bother me with facts, my mind is made up, and you’re a big poopy head.” Nice.
for most of this country’s history we did not choose a presidential candidate until late August.
We still do, when do you think it happens? It happens at the conventions, which happen at the end of the summer.
I know I’m really stupid, so let’s review the time line:
June 27 - Biden tanks the debate in shocking fashion
July 15 - Republican convention, where Trump is nominated for President.
July 21 - Biden dropped out
August 19-22 - Democratic Convention
November 5 - Election Day
So, Biden blows the debate, and wastes 3 weeks before dropping out.That left a month to have a national primary in 50 states, in time for the convention. And before you suggest the convention can be postponed - it can’t, especially a month out. Too many plans, reservations, tickets, deposits, arrangements, caterers, entertainment, etc.
And even if they could, when do they move it to? The election was only about 8 weeks beyond that, and the Republicans had already been running their candidate since a week before Biden dropped out. How much time were the Dems supposed to waste, so they could finally launch their candidate to go after Trump 2 weeks before the election, probably with Harris as the nominee anyway? Who had a chance of beating her, especially on such short notice, and after she’s been essentially running for the last 4 years? Go ahead, I dare you to say Bernie.
What a fucking joke, we had to choose a doomed to fail candidate because there is only 4 plus months left. We need that time to fundraise! Fat lot of good that did you huh?
Yeah, she lost anyway, due to several factors, none of which had anything to do with no primary, but to believe that the chaotic shitshow that you’re suggesting would somehow have been better, is delusional.
Admit it motherfucker, you were wrong and we were right. Which is to say left.
Nope, I just explained how wrong you were, and how your fantasy was literally impossible. I’m not a fan of either, but none of it was Harris’ fault, or even the DNC’s for that matter. It’s just one more way that Biden failed us when it was most important, by not dropping out. He did few good things, but on balance, his term was a disaster. He’ll settle into the Bottom 15 of presidents.
