You forgot ugly, lazy, and disrespectful.

I'm terrified that she blows it in the debate and we end up with dictator Trump going full-tilt. It's so obvious she can't think on her feet. And that's why I thought there was plenty of time for a condensed primary to let the public decide. Whose decision was it to put Kamala in this position? We know it wasn't the Obama's since they held off on supporting her. Was it Pelosi?

Yup, a primary would have been the right thing to do.
Shut up and fetch me a turkey pot pie!
Please explain how you would organize 50 states + territories, etc, to schedule and run primary elections, and still give enough time for a primary campaign. Biden dropped out on 7/21, final names for the ballot were due in Ohio on 8/7. That's only 2 1/2 weeks. Could it have been done in that time?
Good point. But it just seems so weird that the candidate was chosen for us without public input.

That one isn't even satire. It is simply what happened.
It's a bit weird from a modern perspective, but that used to just be the way it was until, I believe, the 1972 election? They were chosen by the party leaders at the convention.
And, also, it was kind of the natural succession. Would I have preferred he had stepped away 3 months earlier? Sure, then we could have had a real primary. But the reality is that there just wasn't time.
No it's not. Not at all.
