        At this point I don’t think it would’ve mattered. Maybe Biden would’ve been kicked out sooner but the primary would’ve still ended with a boilerplate democrat candidate. It wasn’t Harris who lost the campaign, it was the poor campaign strategy put together by the DNC.

          You do know the DNC doesn’t run presidential campaigns, right? They funnel money to the campaign, but the campaigns are run by campaign managers hired by the candidates.

          Maybe not, but instead they actively avoided their constituents

          If they had run a primary, there would have been far more air time on the issues voters were upset about instead of the neutered politics they ended up running on

            hard to do with only 3 months, and legally they cannot give the campaign money to another candidate that biden had already raise throughout the year.

              Biden had been sitting below 40% approval basically since 2022, they had plenty of time to realize they needed a stronger candidate (OR he had plenty of time to address the concerns of protestors). Instead he waited until the last minute and he pressured Harris to keep his platform.

              If you want someone to blame, i’d start there.
