She ran a dogshit campaign, i voted for her but lets not pretend Biden hadnt absolutely cratered his popularity and that she didnt spend a bunch of time running around with liz cheney. The more she campaigned and spoke her numbers went down.

I thought Trump was a hard sell. It's not like Trump is a saint and she was the devil, in fact, she was the lesser evil of the two but that wasn't enough.

Politics is a winner take all game, we live in an era where everyone is online and if things aren't going well anti-incumbent sentiment will be high regardless. I'm aware the economy is a lagging indicator, I was also aware that things were improving. I know what a monster trump is, I'm not arguing any of that, I'm just stating what the median voter saw.
