    "many Harris allies blaming her loss on Biden and his late decision to exit the race.

    “Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight,”"

    Or, you know, like I said from the start, Biden can’t win and Harris won’t win.

    Too much baggage from being AG, and the same plastic insincerity Clinton had.

    Waltz could have been top of ticket and won. The sense of being genuine glows off that guy.

      Harris could have won, she just needed to throw Biden under the bus like he deserves. Her written platform is honestly fine, I think she could have run a progressive campaign of change, but instead she chose to run on upholding the staus quo. Maybe she wasn’t given the choice by the DNC.

        The DNC has done more fuckery in my lifetime than almost anyone else.

        Who decided John Kerry should get the nomination? Or Clinton, or Biden, or Harris?

      I wonder if that disconnect is a hazard of not having a primary. Even if Kamala had still been nominated from the get-go, splits in the voting and ratios might have indicated what Dem voters were thinking and provided campaign insight.
