Yascha Mounk joins the ranks of political pundits who are making it clear they have no idea how elections actually work. Anyone who can come up with a way for a party to self-organize a democratically legitimate primary in a month should just go ahead and lay it out!
Another asinine 'solution' to the Biden Problem, this time from Yascha Mounk.
Again, these people think their *entire job* is political strategy and predicting poll numbers. Yet they somehow think that spending months drawing attention to their own party's weaknesses is a good strategy!
How much of a goon do you have to be to claim the duly elected VP is the one without the “democratic legitimacy” problem in this scenario?
The bar for reactionary centrists is so low.
The hilarious thing is Harris would be an enormous favorite in the scenario Mounk lays out. A month firehouse caucus, no states would agree to have a full primary this late in the game would just be a name rec game and who has more name rec than the VP? Whitmer, Shapiro et. ct. would have no shot.
