    4 months is more than enough time to run a primary and a presidential campaign. Entire countries do it in 6 weeks. The party didn’t want to do it because the party wanted to put in their chosen candidate.

      Entire countries do it in 6 weeks when they know it’s happening well ahead of time and both candidates start campaigning 6 weeks ahead of time. That’s unfortunately not how US elections work.

        That’s not how us elections work because that’s how the parties want us elections to work. Maybe more importantly that’s how the US media wants elections to work. It is easily doable though. Once more we all knew the election was coming and the convention hadn’t even happened yet. Easily enough time. Easily. They didn’t want it to happen.

          Yes. If things worked differently then something different could have happened. What’s your point? How does anything you said relate to the reality of the position Biden left Dems in?
