Handing VP Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination without having her compete in primaries is a throwback to less democratic ways of picking nominees, a political scientist says.
Putting Harris at the top of the ticket is a pragmatic approach in the context of an election where we’re trying to stave off a fascist takeover.
Also, FEC campaign regulations would have made it extremely complicated to shift Biden’s existing campaign funds and operational infrastructure to an entirely unrelated candidate.
This is a realistic solution in the context of a flawed system that’s under threat from a fascist takeover. Try to remember that in many cases, perfect is the enemy of good.

I agree, but in the context of 2016 and 2020 the shoe still fits
