    He waited way too long for the party to pick someone other than the de facto choice which is the vp. He cost Dems their primary. So no. I think she gave Dems the best shot they had given the position Biden put them in.

        That’s ridiculous. Biden dropped out at the end of July. If you expect candidates to run a primary and a presidential campaign in 4 months, in America, you seriously misunderstand how informed the average voter is. People knowing who Kamala is is a big part of why she was the only valid candidate at the time

          4 months is more than enough time to run a primary and a presidential campaign. Entire countries do it in 6 weeks. The party didn’t want to do it because the party wanted to put in their chosen candidate.

            Entire countries do it in 6 weeks when they know it’s happening well ahead of time and both candidates start campaigning 6 weeks ahead of time. That’s unfortunately not how US elections work.
