The campaign squandered a whole lot of money and made plenty of people rich. Parts of the Democratic operation seem more like a multi-level marketing scheme (MLM) than a political movement.
It was infested with myopic tomfoolery of a scale that can easily be described as “corrupt”, but i haven’t heard and specific allegations of anyone actually trying to lose.
DNC leadership literally said they would rather loose than tarnish Biden’s legacy with critique. That’s why Harris wasn’t allowed to differentiate herself in any meaningful way.
It’s not accurate to say she wasn’t “allowed” - - she was the candidate for POTUS, and essentially literally the party boss.
Harris CHOSE to stand by Biden, warts and all, and in doing so inherited a bunch of his baggage. I presume this is in large part because she agreed with him, but it may be that she instead chose to hide her disagreement on the advice of others.
Very little, at least.compared to the opposition.

Can we please stop doing this? It just gives Democrats license to be second worst.
“They’re open fascists and genocidal maniacs, so we can be open racists and do corporate lobbying, they’re worse so why try to be any better?”
Democratic political consultants milked the campaign for a shitload of money and likely led the charge to “pivot conservative so you don’t lose!”
It’s bullshit to assume it was corrupt by design, however.
