genuinely competitive primary

This is where I think you have to go back to Biden* not going at it as a 1 term president.

Even with hindsight, given when Biden stepped down I'm still not convinced an open primary was the way to go. Neither do I think Harris was a bad candidate nor ran a bad campaign. But I do think not having more time worked against her.

*and possibly Obama for making the deal with the Clintons, as Imo Joe would have beaten Trump.

Actually this is the one bit I disagree with. The more time she had the worse it would have got. The high point of Kamala was when there was relief that it wasn't going to be Biden. It was a mirage.

It's hard to argue isn't it though?

Had she had more time, then could she have distanced herself and come up with some better lines of defense?

What is certain is that more time would have definitely resulted in a primary.
