The best way I've seen anyone put it is that by the time the election arrives, you are exclusively in damage control mode. If you want actual change, you have to have it done by getting your personal choice voted in during the primaries.
We had a primary?
Yes. And Biden was chosen, which includes Harris being next up if Biden couldn't perform the duties of president for any reason. If Democrats didn't want the status quo, they should have chosen someone other than Biden.
You missed it. I was well aware of it, and concerns about Biden at the time, and I don't even live in the US.
Not everyone else's fault if you don't engage with the political system until less than a month before the election. That's what this entire post is about.
