Primary would have refined the message.

Democrats were certain of victory when on 20 August, "US Vice President Kamala Harris' election effort has raised around $500 million since she became the Democratic presidential candidate," having "raised $200 million in the first week of her campaign while she quickly wrapped up support to become the party's nominee." Reuters. In total, "Vice President Kamala Harris spent a remarkable $1.5 billion in her hyper-compressed 15-week presidential campaign." NYT. Every 'expert' has an opinion on Donald Trump's victory. "The natural election advantages once enjoyed by incumbents are gone. A century of expanding govt has twisted capitalism into a system of state support for everyone, but it has lavished far greater benefits on the rich and powerful than the average American," so that "Nine in 10 Americans born in the 1940s grew up to earn more than their parents; today fewer than one in four say they expect to achieve the same progress," wrote Ruchir Sharma. President Joe Biden is mainly responsible by blocking the primary process so that Harris didn't have to defend and explain her message to the voters. "Democratic strategists, pundits and lawmakers have publicly blamed the loss on Biden's refusal to exit the race until late July, even as his unpopularity in polls surged and an increasing number of Americans said he was too old to serve another term." Forbes. "A Democratic Party fit for purpose would have won in a landslide. The question isn't why Democrats lost with 48% of the popular vote rather than winning, as they hoped, with a sliver over 50%; it's why they didn't completely crush the other side." "Unfortunately, except that it despises Trump and loves to spend money, it doesn't seem sure. Its most energetic activists and many of its leading thinkers, allies and enablers have embraced a radical form of postmodern identity politics." Bloomberg. That is repulsive to most people. A vindictive and bitter Biden is trying to engineer a scorched earth policy (wikipedia) in Ukraine to make it difficult for Trump to bring peace. "US President-elect Donald Trump has said his administration will focus on ending the Russia-Ukraine war, as he lamented the killing of people in the conflict." ET. Just two months before Trump is sworn in, Biden permitted the use of Army Tactical Missile Systems against Russia, clearly designed to increase casualties and block Trump's efforts at peace. TOI. Not content with that, "The Biden administration will provide Ukraine with controversial anti-personnel mines in its war against Russia, a US official confirmed." CBS. Anti-personnel mines were banned in the "1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production, and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction" in Ottawa. United Nations. This makes Biden a war criminal. However, "Biden's dangerous, last-minute ratcheting up of US-Russia tensions may serve as an accidental catalyst for the advent of 'President Trump the peacemaker'," wrote Patrick Basham. We pray for Trump's success. Stop the suffering of innocent people. And children.
