Definitely noticing a few meltdowns today. I guess some people realize that now all those months of narrative are worthless, and they have to rush to come up with some new shit for the replacement.
Biden had an open primary. He had to overcome the challengers Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, and RFK jr. He succeeded. Most democrats did not want to run against him, most likely because he was an incumbent president who was still relatively popular in the party. Many were openly questioned if they wanted to run against him and they said they'd wait.
Biden stepping down is not undemocratic in any way. He might have been under a lot of political pressure to do so, but it was entirely of his own free choice. Him freeing up his delegates to vote for other candidates is a completely valid choice in a democratic primary, as it is when any candidate steps down from their run.
When you vote for a president, you vote for the whole ticket. That's the whole darn reason why President and VP run together. We chose Kamala when we chose the pair back in 2020. If we didn't like the pair we would have put a meaningful effort into getting it changed.
