    DNC leadership literally said they would rather loose than tarnish Biden’s legacy with critique. That’s why Harris wasn’t allowed to differentiate herself in any meaningful way.

      It’s not accurate to say she wasn’t “allowed” - - she was the candidate for POTUS, and essentially literally the party boss.

      Harris CHOSE to stand by Biden, warts and all, and in doing so inherited a bunch of his baggage. I presume this is in large part because she agreed with him, but it may be that she instead chose to hide her disagreement on the advice of others.
