Is there polling data showing that actual Democratic voters feel this way, or is this just another iteration of right wing talking points trying to tell people what those people really think?

Its a distillation of the discussion and talking point trends.

He's absolutely correct as to how things went. It's not a silly argument. However even if he's correct it doesn't mean the Democrats were wrong. After all it's their party and their constituents and if they are fine with it, then who am I to argue about it?

Oh, well after reading a couple of pages I don't think that's a correct distillation. They are just criticizing the process which people are entitled to do. Quite frankly I'm fine with Harris running.

I agree. The shady part was trying to pass off Biden to the Democrat voters as fully competent. So unless they were seriously paying attention or not in denial they voted for him. The democrats knew and thought they could pull it off. But it didn't work out for them.
You are right the pool would have been very different. I think there could be a good case made that Harris would have gotten the nomination anyway, but there is no way to know that for sure.
And like I said in another post all the democrats signed up knowing how the system works or if they didn't that's their own fault. So I'm okay with how the system chose the candidate cause it's their system. I may not like and you are telling the truth about it, but it is theirs and they own it. For better or for worse.

And yet, somehow, the story still managed to get out. But no one knew the details for sure.
If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas.
Here's the thing: Biden ran for reelection. Whether or not he should have is immaterial. His age was known, but rumors of his cognitive state circulated even before the primaries. No details were confirmed, but still, democrats took all that information in, and voted for him anyway.
Then, things changed. Biden may have felt he could do another four years, and there may have been people around him who also felt he could do it. But some didn't, and eventually, Biden himself came to the decision that he could no longer see himself serving another four years, so he decided against running for reelection.
Was this an ideal situation? No. But it's what happened. So we do what we always do when stuff happens: we adapt and deal with it.
If you, who are not a democrat, don't approve of how democrats run their party, and decide on who their nominee is, that's your business. The Democratic Party doesn't have to care what you think, nor do registered democrats. But feel free to present your opinion anyway.
-- A2SG, but still feel free to present your own nominee....there's a space to write that person in on the ballot....
