    They ran Harris because she was the only viable option when it was clear that Biden was not. They did not run Harris thinking she would win at all, they ran her out of desperation because the incumbent was flatlining. It was not a choice, and it certainly was not one based on demographics. It was a “Hail Mary” and it failed as it was likely to do from the outset, and everyone who was paying attention knew that, yet had no choice but to hope for the best.

      lol, you believe this? I don’t find it hard to believe that they put Biden though a primary, just to have him drop out…

      IMO running Harris was the plan from the beginning. You know, which was kind of the problem, hijacking the primary.
