    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.
