Not as reckless as her decision to support arming Israel

Got to love the political post failure book industry

Also undemocratic...

But Kamala never would have gotten a shot in a democratic system either.

If you are leaving your choice to run for president to another, I highly doubt your own leadership capabilities.

At least she finally got it right. I'll be happy when we stop paying attention to her and she is a weird footnote in history. Dropped out before the primaries even started, but ended up a presidential candidate. What a farce.

Man.. Yall remember when lemmy was being used as a controlled opposition narrational echo chamber for this failure of a candidate?

When posting anything showing that Harris was making bad decisions would result in bans?

Fucking amazing how those power posters disappeared like farts in the wind.

Since the advent of the modern primary election system in 1972, an incumbent president has never been defeated by a primary challenger, though every president who faced a strong primary challenge went on to be defeated in the general election.

Which is exactly why everyone said it was Biden's decision. A strong primary challenger meant Biden would lose. Should Biden have been convinced to not seek re-election sooner? Yes. But that's still his decision.

The time for Biden to step aside would have been right after the midterms. Maybe behind the scenes Harris tried to convince Biden, but she clearly failed. Maybe Biden really was at the top of his game and no one saw it until his debate performance, but I'm not sure anyone really believes that. Publicly Team Biden said he was doing backflips around the White House, but of course when the public saw him he was your typical old man.

So... whos to blame? I blame the Democratic party/DNC at large. It's clear to me most people who vote Democrat want someone more progressive. The DNC would rather play it safe.

Nobody cares, Kamala. You promised you'd fight and then you disappeared. Your 15 minutes are over.

Nobody can tell a sitting President not to run. People want to play it like taking away Paw Paw's car keys, but this is not the same.

It was on Biden to make the call, he made the call too late.
