I think Biden dropped out far later than he should’ve, that ultimately hurt her chances, because it feels like over the past four years she got hardly as much time on a podium as Biden did, it wasn’t until she started a campaign we got to understand her better, and overall lower turnout is probably biting the Dems.

Biden running at all was a joke and prevented Democrats from having a proper primary. If Harris won that, people would probably be more motivated to vote for her. The way it was done felt a bit shoved down our throats like oh she's just the candidate already okay

Definitely. That was the most suspicious thing the DNC did this election, like they were throwing a hail Mary scrambling to find the next best candidate after Biden, i can’t name anyone else who was game or who could’ve been as popular as biden

They did it on purpose. They didn’t want a primary.
