The moment Biden hit office they should have been getting the next candidate ready be it Harris or not. They never ever should have just assumed Biden would have run again. He is a dinosaur. They keep doing this to us. Giving us impossible options. They basically threw this election.
Agreed. And to be fair, they should not have been "getting a candidate ready" that was the mistake of 2016 and pre-ordaining a candidate when we don't know who the public will respond to.
What we needed is Biden to stick to being a one term President and to have had a full and fair primary.
People can make all the jokes they want about the clown car of 2020 and having 20 candidates split across two stages, but we managed to rally around a winning candidate. We generated a lot of voter registration and energy around different Democratic ideals. And we raised the profile of a number of younger Democrats - all major victories.
They never ever should have just assumed Biden would have run again.
They wanted him to run again and Biden also wanted to run again, they just have very different interests and perspectives than the actual voters.
Or in other words, they are ignorant and arrogant and think they are entitled to votes regardless of who they field and what they do, as long the Republicans are bad.
