    By the time that Biden stepped down, there was no time for a primary. (And let’s be honest, that farce ran before wasn’t a true primary.)

    She was the only person that could, at the time, get everyone into lockstep with her. She was also competent, experienced and skilled.

    Aside from Israel/Palestine, her political positions weren’t particularly offensive either. (She should have thrown Biden under that bus, but I get why she didn’t. Hell. Biden should have dove under for her.)

    I would have much preferred another; though they would never have manage as well as Harris did… particularly as Biden gave grudging support for her.

    In the context of that moment in time, she was the only person with a chance at beating Trump, and that’s what made her “best”.
