    I’m still mad the DNC didn’t hold a primary election when they all got together in Chicago (I think that’s where they were I could be wrong) after Biden dropped out. Would have been way better optics.

    Also still think Biden could have just stayed in and won because sexism and propaganda was way more effective against Harris than another old white guy. Harris not that inspiring for voter turn out either in my opinion.

      He should never have ran for a second term. The moment he did, he never should have backed out. Terrible strategy all around.

      I agree about the Biden thing. After the terrible debate all the campaign needed to do was invite Trump to a cage match fight. No one would have remembered the debate and we would have an old, but sane president with cancer instead of an old malignant narcissist.

        You guys are delusional. You’re gaslighting yourselves. Of all democratic match ups against Trump, Biden polled the worst. Harris polled second worst. Biden would have lost even worse that Harris did. Then that debate… There was no recovering from that debate. You also had major donors refusing to donate. Harris was bad, Biden was worse.
