Lets just notice and remember how many people here were not only cheerleading the decision, but literally demanding that he run. They were telling us we were crazy to not want the incumbent to run.
I took a lot of abuse when I was calling for him to step down when it was fucking obvious he was going to get trounced. Harris was a shit choice but she still did way better than he would have.
DNC snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as usual. They’re complicit.
still do get a lot of abuse, some chode above in this thread is still saying we all misremembered and it was a slight gaffe that had been there all along
If Harris was going to be the candidate she needed to face a robust primary, like any Democrat should. It’s not just about understanding the candidate but about forcing them to be better in hard positions.
Harris was garbo in the 2020 primary. Did she even get a single delegate?
Even with that, Harris could have easily won if she would have ignored blue Maga and the third way crowd. If she would have let Walz be Walz. If she would have leaned into being the party of the left instead of trying to be diet republican.
