    I assumed we were just talking about the decision to run Harris but I guess nobody said that!

    If we’re talking about as the INITIAL candidate, I wholly agree with you. That would have been plenty of time for her to campaign and gather support. I think she would have done very well because the issues she fights for were VERY relevant last year. She’s not perfect but she’s the closest thing to the “voice of the people” next to Sanders. I’ll bet she would have even picked up more votes from center and right.

    The biggest mistake the Democrats made wasn’t running Harris, it was running Biden. Even considering how he fumbled some things (Gaza for one), he was a decent president… But everyone knew he was too old for it.
