Unlike in Trump’s first term, Democratic voters say 2-to-1 they want party leaders to fight rather than compromise, even at the risk of not getting things done, per the NBC News poll.
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.
That’s not how us elections work because that’s how the parties want us elections to work. Maybe more importantly that’s how the US media wants elections to work. It is easily doable though. Once more we all knew the election was coming and the convention hadn’t even happened yet. Easily enough time. Easily. They didn’t want it to happen.
Yes. If things worked differently then something different could have happened. What’s your point? How does anything you said relate to the reality of the position Biden left Dems in?
My point is the Democratic party chooses to run it this way. You can’t defend them by saying that’s the way it is, it’s the way it is because they want it that way. They choose it. They can change it whenever they want.
So saying there wasn’t enough time is factually incorrect. There was enough time. Easily. They just chose not to do it. This is the position the Democrats wanted.

Way more than enough time for a primary
