Accidental rise of Kamala Harris is a symptom of an unserious age

Help me out here. Kamala Harris is the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate? How on Earth did that happen? And what about the other guy? You know, the sitting president — Joe Biden? I realize he withdrew from the race in the constitutionally mandated manner, by posting a sullen document on X, the digital platform formerly known as Twitter. That was well done. Biden managed to make Elon Musk happy after all these years. But why did Joe go? He never said. Actually, he made it clear that he thought his magnificent record of him in office “merited a second term.” If that was true, why not put it to the test, allowing those randos we call “the voters” to decide?
