Biden never should have run a second time at all. His running scared away any other candates. If he clearly said he wouldn’t run for a second term, they could’ve had a full open primary with a dozen candates or more.
As it was, they did everything they could to discourage a real, full primary process.
Even after he was forced out, he could’ve not handed he’s entire campaign war chest and staff to Harris. And instead had a contested convention where candates lobbied attendees for their votes. Like used be done a century ago. Then given all his campaign resources to that nominee.
no it doesn’t harris raised almost a billion in 3 days. that billion was not committed to biden. not even 200 million of it was before he dropped out. trump won on 400 million.
You dont realize how the majority of money was raised after he dropped out and that trump managed to win with half of the money is relevant to the discussion of ‘only harris could access biden’s campaign funds.’ nonsense reasoning the dnc and media gave for why we absolutely must go with harris as the candidate?
Oh! Now I get it. You’re talking about something I wasn’t. It’s true none of that has anything to do with the rules specifically, like I thought. But instead, you want to talk about some broader point we weren’t thinking or talking about. Okay. Yes your right. It matters to the larger situation, beyond the scope of our immediate discussion. Thank you for explaining.
Np. As for the campaign finance laws im also fairly certain those excuses were a load of bunk too. I dont believe anything prevented biden campaign from returning them to the donors and letting them reallocate.
It’s not an argument. It’s an excuse.
A post-hoc justification, given as a robotic response to my explaining how it’s false.
In this exchange it’s literal nonsense.

Supposedly he couldn’t give the resources to anyone else as they were gathered for a biden/Harris campaign.
Since Harris was part of that there was no problems with her taking it over
Probably some kind of fraud otherwise. Collecting funds for a different purpose.
That makes sense.

I’m not sure how any that matters to any campaign finance rules that might prevent Biden from giving his war chest to another candate?

That’s ridiculous. No canadates steped forward.
It’s a circular firing squad. I choose not to participate. You can if you want.
Because Biden ran.
I said that.
That was the whole point of what I said.
You don’t seem to be participating anyway.
If nobody challenges it’s not a false argument.
Enjoy your circular firing squad.

Like I’ve said enjoy the circular firing squad, I hear it’s your turn next.
People don’t even take turns in a circular firing squad.
I have no idea what you’re talking about any more.
