but they didn't want her in the primaries
The powers wanted her but realized she is not electable. So how do you get an unelectable candidate into the position? Use the VP slot! Easy, peasy! Does anyone think the election would be close if Harris was on top of the ticket? It's laughable, really. Most voters don't give a second thought about the VP when voting. I feel kind of bad for Joe. Is he even able to realize he is being played? This wouldn't be the first time Harris fucked a guy for a job.
