She wasn't who they wanted in 2024 either. If there was a real primary she would have been demolished.
The Democrstic party was stuck between opposing Trump and opposing leftism and categorically chose to oppose leftism. That's been the conundrum they can't figure out.
I dunno. They seem to have figured it out.
I had meant doing both, but yeah, you're absolutely right: they figured out their preference real quick.
I dislike Kamala, but because of bidens hubris, she was the best choice for 2024.
She immediately got access to bidens war chest and was immediately able to start campaigning with infrastructure and money…
Biden dropping out so late made Kamala the only real choice…
She was a terrible candidate who always chose the wrong way to campaign, but unfortunately she was the best candidate.
I really don't get this. The convention was still 2 weeks in the future. Why even have a convention if 2 weeks before it is too late to pick a candidate? Or do we just admit everything is fixed before the convention anyway and stop bothering?
Biden had $1billion dollars in his war chest.
The democrats needed that money to start campaigning, no matter the candidate.
Until they had an official candidate, the money couldn’t be transferred, potentially taking multiple weeks.
Kamala, since she was part of Biden-Harris, could use his funds day 1.
I agree that they could’ve had an open convention, but the $$$ was too attractive
That worked out great.
I'm pretty sure that Kamala was the establishment's first choice in 2020 then, after voters rejected her, they switched to Biden and stuck her in the VP slot.
