I honestly thought he was going to lose by an embarrassing landslide last time. I wasn't just hoping, I was convinced from here in Australia. Heck I even put $100 on Kamala, first time in my life betting on politics.
Strange times indeed.
Nah kamala is just super unlikable, dems shot themselves in the foot again. Instead of having an electing where dems could pick their fav candidate the dem establishment picked one of the most unpopular ones. But anyone will a brain cell can see kamala is the better choice over trump but still, americans lack commons sense
If they would've continued with Biden they would've shot themselves in both feet, maybe their arms as well. Think Kamala was considered a much bigger threat as well. We'll never know what would've happened if there was an internal election for candidacy, could create a rally behind the flag effect but also a lot of throwing mud against your ally causing part of the Dems not to vote in the election at all.
Yeah I agree biden was worse then kamala, but they needed to elect a candidate the democrat way not just pick their own corporate dem
