First, I legit believe that Biden chose Harris as his VP as a pure accident. Biden had made a claim he was going to put a black woman on the Supreme Court, but when asked about his VP, he said something to the effect of "Yeah that too." Since there weren't exactly a lot of national level black women Democrats to choose from, he was basically stuck with Harris.

Then they were stuck with Harris running for President because of something about how campaign finance laws are worded. Or something about how advertising on TV and billboards work. Kamala's name was already registered on all the forms. I believe the deadline for even registering to run for president had passed them by as well.

I truly believe the Democrats didn't want to run her at all, but were stuck because Biden has a massive ego. By extension it's Obama's fault as well for manipulating the 2020 Democratic primaries to get Biden the nomination. Thanks Obama.

Say what you will, but I don't think Liz Warren would have fumbled the bag this hard.

Not at all. She's a competent speaker (not a good one, but WAY ahead of Holocaust Harris), and she actually has some progressive-ish policies that she actually believes in. Harris isn't even platitudes, her word salad is too confusing to be described as such.

Believe it or not, a century late to that claim

Brace on trueanon mentioned something about Biden only agreeing to step down if Kamala couldn't bad mouth him. This would go with his ego and probably doomed her from the start.
