You're a tool.
Skipping the primary, there was not enough time to mount a full, proper campaign.
How'd you think it'd go if weeks more were spent on a primary?
Face it, you took the fashy bait and fucked yourself.
Over 3 months of campaigning is more than enough in most of the western world. Some countries don't even allow campaigning for that long. It's a very American thing to think you need something like 6+ months to campaign. Also, not enough time for a full campaign but enough time to sit down with Liz Cheney? What do you think she would've done with the extra time when she's already scraping the bottom of the barrel some republican voters?
Looking at the polling data, even worse? Her approval skyrocketed because people thought (with the Walz VP pick) she might actually lean left, and then it tapered off when she started presenting herself as a moderate.
I think the democrats handled this hilariously badly, and I have almost zero insight into American politics aside from what gets regurgitated over internet news sources.
If a primary was held, whi the hell would the candidates even be?
It's unfair of me to assume, but I do assume that the average American voter knows even less about American politics than I do.
Harris was at least known. Walz even lost his own state, for fuck's sake.
