    Sure.

    But the Democrats decided not to hold a primary that late, and I don’t recall any Democrats running a meaningful challenge to her candidacy…

    So, let me ask again. Who was an electable candidate in 2024?

      Pete B with Tim W probably would have done significantly better even with the gay handicap with the homophobes. Especially if he got more of a running start.

      Not a perfect candidate, but I think a lot of people underestimate how many people truly dislike Harris. For legitimate reasons and otherwise. Running a black woman who a lot of people genuinely didn’t connect with against Trump was goofy. It sucks that it’s the way it is but this is America.
