I sure wish more of these people that are all hung up on an issue would vote in the primaries. You know, where you have at least a slim chance of changing things.

Given how Harris was chosen, I'm really not sure this is the year to make that argument.

It was Biden/Harris. He stepped down, but that doesn't suddenly mean that she has to. And with the way the rules around succession and such are worded, especially campaign finance, she was the only choice. Because she was already the VP nominee.

But most importantly, Biden stepped down for the good of the country, and Harris has stepped up.

I think the parent poster's point is that Biden didn't have to win a primary this time, because they didn't have one.

Except there was a Democratic Primary. It's just that no one runs against an incumbent.
