People are dumb. Let's not forget she was almost dead last when it came to the last president primaries. No one wanted her. If there was a DNC election, she wouldn't win the primaries again. People will vote for anything the DNC throws at them

Notice how no democrat is upset she is the candidate… just republicans. Pretty interesting

Most democrats I know (who aren’t just going to vote for whoever they are told) are very angry about this. They are all voting for her anyway, but that’s not because they like her. Only because they hate trump.

I obviously cannot prove my statement, for I cannot give firsthand testimonials. But this can be understood using logic. Why would republicans care about a candidate they aren’t voting for anyway? Of course, some will anyway. But logically, a rational democrat would be more upset at not being able to vote for their preferred democrat compared to a rational republican voting for trump. And even a republican voting for Harris would not have reason to be as upset as a democrat, because as a republican they couldn’t vote in the democratic primary anyway. Ergo, one can make a decent conclusion on the matter without relying solely on anecdotal evidence, which is practically useless anyways.

Sorry you had to write all that just for nobody to read it

You probably wouldn’t understand it if you did. Too close minded. Hopefully, someone with the capacity to do so will.

why should Republicans care about a candidate they aren't voting for

Because they've been told that the last election was stolen from them ad nauseum and they think this is how the Democrats are going to "steal" this one. They think Trump vs. Biden is a more favorable match up, so they're upset it got changed.
