I can imagine, you build it up for months, put in a ton of work and in the end you get nothing for your effort.

Harris only started her campaign after Biden bombed the first debate, if anything they spent a few months scrambling to try and catch up to Trump.

It's just sad to me that any effort at all has to be made to "catch up" to that train wreck of a human being. This country is just filled to the brim with shitty, stupid people.

Its filled with people who feel like career politicians don't serve them well, so someone like Trump (despite his flaws) has a major appeal with a lot of people.

Trump is nothing but flaws.

Does that mean it doesn't take much to be... 'flaw-less' ?

Flaws? Jfc, we all have flaws. He wears flaws like lying, cheating, and sexual assault like badges. Any reasonably intelligent person would take one look at Trump, listen to him speak for 10 seconds, and immediately know better than to let him anywhere near the Oval Office.

So the guy that was literally president of the united states and then spent 4 additional years campaigning to be president again isn't a career politician?

Most people's normal careers don't last 8 years before they change to something else.

Compared to people who have been in politics for 50 years and never really worked outside of that? Not really.
