I dont understand why democrat feel like they pretended there was no one else except Biden - Kamala to be the next president when they had a normal person like Walz. He seems more qualify, energetic, and likeable than Kamala.
I think the timing of Biden deciding not to run was perfect. If he had dropped out before or during primaries, I’m not sure we’d have all this energy and momentum.
In a democratic situation, I think if party know alot of people not supporting him and he should step down, they should have announce it before so the voter base can decide who they want. Giving Kamala an advantage doesn’t seem democratic.
Tradition. Tradition is frequently stupid. That’s why they had to sweet-talk Biden into calling off his bid. Granted there are reasons to do it that way, but nobody cares much anymore, they just didn’t want to stick their necks out and be called traitors, even if there was little to no risk of splitting the party.

Because Biden wanted to be president again and the incumbent always gets the say. Glad it was different this time.
Correct. This is how it’s always been.
It’s only been mentioned about a bajillion times. Go learn why switching out the incumbent is a bad idea. Go.
Switching out the incumbent seems to be working pretty damn well right now.

Walz didn’t run in the primary.
Our choice was biden, some blue dog conservative Dem from Minnesota, or rfk.
Biden was the best of the lot.

Idk about you but I’ve literally never heard of the guy before.
He blew up for me over the past 10 days.
But the New York times wrote an article about him as a teacher in 2006 the year he first ran for Congress.
