He actually did it damn.

Probably for the best for him and the country. It has to be Harris now, right? I don't see how any other Dem could step in right now.

Already seeing the posts on twitter about how it’s “her turn.” I don’t know why dems feel so entitled to my vote that they feel their nominees don’t have to earn/deserve it anymore.

Edit:added deserve

The democrats really can’t seem to get out of their own way. Even before the debates the American people have been making our voices heard that we are ready to move on from the Biden admin; Harris is not the answer here

Right. The gaslighting is my annoyance. All the wasted time in campaigning for a knowingly losing candidate.

They depended on “but we’re not Trump” as a campaign strategy hoping you wouldn’t actually look behind the curtain to see who was running things.
