But Harris was "black" so that seemed like an obvious vote-getter with 
the Democrats' traditional base, even though a lot of blacks see her as 
more South Asian than one of them. Either way, lots of obvious 
virtue-signalling points for including Harris on the ticket. Too bad she 
was such an unlikable candidate. In any case, America really dodged a 
bullet when she failed to excite the electorate.

The Dems have only themselves to blame for their president parlous 
state. They ended up running Biden when he was well past his prime 
because he was the only one who had a chance against Comrade Bernie and 
then saddled him with Harris who was much more an anchor than a sail. 
They must have seen how depleted Biden was because they hid him away as 
much as they could and counted on their allies in the media to deny his 
decline. Then they staged that first debate with Trump months earlier 
than usual and finally EVERYONE could see that Biden didn't have another 
term in him.

Personally, I think that debate happened so early because the people 
pulling his strings were certain he was too far gone to run again but 
hadn't been able to convince him - and Dr. Jill - that he was done so 
they had the debate BECAUSE they knew he would shit the bed AND BE SEEN 
TO HAVE DONE SO. It was so bad that they were finally able to get the 
House and Senate to (largely) abandon him. Finally, Biden understood 
that he was done and stepped aside.

But then, rather than having a proper convention to choose a new 
candidate from among several prospects, they essentially appointed 
Harris. I don't really understand how that happened and can only 
speculate that none of the other potential candidates thought they had a 
chance of winning from a start that close to Election Day and just 
decided to give it to Harris unopposed. They raised a bunch of money and 
gave it to her, she blew it all, but failed to impress as a candidate.

The Democrats messed up all the way along by not building a bench of 
potential candidates going back to Obama's time in office. Everything 
else follows from that.
