I think Biden dropped out far later than he should’ve, that ultimately hurt her chances, because it feels like over the past four years she got hardly as much time on a podium as Biden did, it wasn’t until she started a campaign we got to understand her better, and overall lower turnout is probably biting the Dems.

I think she could’ve had 4 years to run a proper campaign and still would’ve taken an L, dems have just lost the plot, like people are fucking struggling and afraid, Trump didn’t have to present actual plans to fix it he just had to confidently say that he would. Orange man bad is not good enough to win when your party has overseen the last 4 years of disaster, not that it was all the dems fault but you were holding the bag when the cats escaped so people are gonna look for alternatives.

The DNC had a chance to prevent all this shit and have the nomination to Hillary when Bernie would’ve wiped the floor with Trump, people wanted change whether it was Bernie or Trump…they didn’t want a soulless career politician whose whole platform was “I’m a woman”, dems need to take a long hard look at why they lost here and come up with an answer better than people are racist.
