[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now you understand why he didn’t announce he wasn’t running for reelection earlier. Instant lame duck. [/quote]

He still should have done so, months ago.  A year ago, preferably.

+1000 would have served the Dems well in swing states if Harris were nominated through the typical primary process.[/quote]

Y'all don't get it. If there had been an open primary, it 1) would have made Biden a lame duck during the time the Dems were fighting for funding for Ukraine and Israel 2) split the Biden coalition prompting the "dems in disarray" headlines as progressives, liberals, moderates and Ind/GOP never Trumpers fought each other over the delegates and a winner all while Trump just kicked back like he did for the couple of days before Harris consolidated after Biden's announcement.

Sure, it wasn't the most open and transparent process, but really, who else was poised to inherit the war chest and infrastructure than Harris? Personally I would have preferred a Whitmer/Beshear ticket, but not if it was going to come with factions of the party threatening to stay home.

This was a much better result for the party and more importantly, the country.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that. 
What the nation saw was a candidate being selected by a few powerful people in the party.  And, once that was decided, there was no way in hell any Democrat who wants to advance their career would challenge that decision - you don't buck the party elites by challenging a black female candidate.  
And, despite the fact that just weeks before selecting Kamala, people were seriously talking about swapping her out of another VP because she has been so ineffective, these party elites knew the war chest was hers.  So, the decision was made to select her and work feverishly to remake her into someone the voters would like.  You see, if the party elites sing her praises, the media will sing her praises, and the Democratic voters will fall in line.

This whole process has not been organic.  It has been planned, contrived, and executed by those in power.  And, the Democratic voters have fallen in line, as always.  And, they will keep her away from the media as long as possible so that the "remake" will translate to votes.  
We can call her the "Stepford Wife" candidate.  [/quote]
