It wasn’t talking about whether Harris could get my vote, it was about whether the democrats could get my vote. Once they installed Harris I was indeed out. That’s not the party that’s saving democracy, sorry.
What exactly were they supposed to do at that point?
Biden should not have run. But he's the President, there's nobody "above the President" to order him to stand down.
When he drops out - what exactly is your proposal? The party run a lot of local straw polls in every state to try to figure out who the democratic voters writ large wanted?
What was supposed to happen, my assertion from day one, Biden is not supposed to run. That's on him. An open primary, Harris would get smoked. She's a LOT more polished than she was four years ago, but if Trump smoked her, sure as hell Shapiro, Newsom, Pritzker, whomever smokes her. And a polished white guy governor might have just won last night.
It would have been Newsom. Whatever you guys might say about him - women make up a lot of the electorate and he's a good looking smooth talking guy. Will always remember my Grandma voting for Clinton over Bush I - "he's such a good looking guy". That's even dumber than expensive eggs, but it's true.
