        The war chest was campaign money for the biden/harris ticket, so if they went with someone who wasn’t on the ticket they couldn’t spend the money.

        This was the convenient excuse they manufactured so they could appear as though their hands were tied when just running biden again, and then kamala when that failed.

          She burned through something like a billion and a half dollars if I remember right. She gave a shitload to rich celebrity endorsements.

            This in particular pissed me off. Soon as the news broke, here’s me:

            “Are you fucking kidding me?! You make the rich celebrities pay YOU, not the other way around. If they have to be paid to endorse you, then they aren’t fucking endorsing you. They’re making their down payment on bribery!”
