The ones that were SURPRISINGLY good were the Gex games. Looks like they’re getting a remaster too.
Don’t get me started on Xfinity “10G”.

The money she had access to when she became the nominee was already spent, it would not be replaced if she broke with Biden.

It wasn’t just the money, her staff came from Biden as well. So she would have had to re-build the entire campaign from scratch with 30 days to the convention and 100 days to the election.
It wasn’t possible, and everyone (well, everyone outside lemmy) knew that.
She took a gamble, a stupid one. Stick with Biden, keep his infrastructure, hope for the best.
It was a losing gambit, but it had a better chance of working than going out on her own.
Again, the money came from Biden people. If Biden said “pull the money” it would have evaporated. Harris wouldn’t have had more donations, and her staff would have left.
This is how politics works in this country.
Campaign funds that would have evaporated if she tried to backbite Biden.

Biden was President, you go with what he says or you get cut loose with no time to rebuild on your own.
Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money, she towed the line or lost that with no time to build her own support.
Remember: 30 days to the convention. 108 days to the election. Piss off Biden, lose all his people and all his money. Good luck with the election!
She didn’t have a choice. Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money. She towed the line or had no campaign.
Yup, as usual, lemmings a) not paying attention b) wilfully distorting reality.
Again, no, she couldn’t:

You’re choosing to ignore cited sources, that’s your issue.
If she wanted the candidacy, she had to stick with Biden. Read the article.
There’s a lot of blame to go around, but nobody is going to tell a sitting President they can’t run again. It was Biden’s call and he ultimately made that call too late for any other candidate to have a successful run.
Once Harris was tapped, there’s now evidence Biden hampered her campaign as well:

It’s not “the dems” fault, it’s Biden’s fault. First, for not stepping down early enough for a proper primary, 2nd, for having a comatose debate performance, 3rd, for failing to recognize the economic pain the US public was going through, 4th, for claiming credit for policies that had no effect on the public at large, and 5th for insisting Harris not separate herself from his failed policies.
Someone should have sat him down and told him the economy sucks, people are hurting, and the policies you got passed haven’t done anything yet. But he still stood up repeatedly and basically said “What’s the matter, Jack? Economy is great!” while the public was “3% inflation on top of 3% inflation on top of 6% inflation in top of 9% inflation…”
That failure of recognition tanked his campaign and not allowing Harris to differentiate herself tanked hers.
She should have told him “No, your ideas are why you aren’t in the race anymore, I’m doing something different.” Instead she said, on live television, she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently. That’s the point when she lost, nail in the coffin right there.
Because it was created as a place for US politics. [email protected] was created as the US free zone.
Combining the two creates a US dominated space where world events get buried under US news and politics.
No, there wasn’t. A primary in 50 states takes roughly 6 months to run. They had ONE.
Biden bowed out July 21st.
The convention was scheduled to start August 19th.
30 days. You can’t run a 50 state primary in 30 days. 1.66 primaries per day.
Moving the convention wasn’t an option due to state deadlines for candidates.
As VP she couldn’t take action, that’s not the job of VP. She campaigned on a cease fire and two state solution, you were ignoring what she was repeatedly telling you.
She did, every month between becoming the nominee and the election. Cease fire + two state solution. The problem was, nobody was paying attention.

No. She wasn’t a good candidate ANY time she ran.
