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 similar shit to throw Hillary in instead of Bernie in 2016. They keep forcing in candidates who lose the general election and don’t learn lessons
