    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.

      Because Biden wanted to be president again and the incumbent always gets the say. Glad it was different this time.

      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.

      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.

      I don’t understand why democrat[s] […] pretended there was no one else except Biden

      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.

          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.

        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.

    I really hope they did extensive background checks on him.

      He was a teacher for ten years, I highly doubt the dems would have considered him unless they were thorough.

      Even the implication of being involved with a minor could be catastrophic to morale.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
