10. They don't want a candidate they haven't spent years targeting with smear campaigns and sham congressional hearings.

They've been caught with their pants down.

The problem is that people actually like Harris and WANT to vote for her. If their argument actually mattered to anyone, that person could refuse to vote for Harris or Democrats. As far as I can tell, no one who might have voted for Biden is actually mad about Harris taking his place.
