    I don’t like Harris but Biden was far less competent and suited to the moment.

    Obama’s biggest mistake was playing it safe with a DEI hire for an ideologically bankrupt, incompetent old white guy for his VP.

    Harris doesn’t have charisma with normal people (though she is apparently great at getting fundraising from the rich and powerful…) but at least she showed some kind of awareness of how to play politics unlike Biden who stumbled through his presidency and failed campaign for re-election like a dementia patient sleepwalking out onto a busy highway.

      Biden was a politician whose time had passed. After Obama, the party should have moved in a new direction, even though Obama was as corpo-establishment as they come. Instead of going in a new, fresh direction, they appointed Biden, and we were right back to the olden days.
