[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]

This is a near-sighted point of view. History will recall a 2024 POTUS election that featured a match-up between an embarrassing stain on America's legacy who was nominated for a 3rd consecutive time and a nominee that was chosen by party leaders and donors as a replacement for an incumbent that backed out of the race just a few weeks before the party convention. The Dem Party could have separated themselves as the party of normalcy and stability during the Trump era but now it's a matter of one side playing down to level of their competition. Fortunately for the Dem Party, Harris is still the obvious lesser of two evils thanks to Trump being who and what he is but it's still all a disgusting mess.[/quote]
