We had a primary?
Yes. And Biden was chosen, which includes Harris being next up if Biden couldn't perform the duties of president for any reason. If Democrats didn't want the status quo, they should have chosen someone other than Biden.
How did nobody notice Biden's brain no longer works if there was this robust primary process you describe and we all just missed it?
You missed it. I was well aware of it, and concerns about Biden at the time, and I don't even live in the US.
Not everyone else's fault if you don't engage with the political system until less than a month before the election. That's what this entire post is about.
The party not allowing debates and threatening everyone to stay out so only an ice cream millionaire who was leaving congress anyway did a quixotic "run" in an attempt to hide how bad Biden had gotten is not a real primary. Just because you don't grasp verbal irony isn't everyone else's fault.
