The vice president called Trump before making a speech to supporters in Washington, DC, to congratulate the Republican on his reelection, an aide said.
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.
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.
Primaries allow many ideas and voices to rally behind one. It helped in 2008, 2016, and 2020. Many canidates started tossing out ideas, the good ones sticked to the person in charge. We never would have gotten Biden to consider legalizing weed and higher wages without it.
And we didn’t get one. She was appointed without the public really getting a say. When Biden was declared the nominee for 2024, I didn’t get my mail in ballot yet in California.

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

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?
