Democratic strategists keep refusing to learn the lesson that presidential elections are about driving turnout. Centrist swing voters are a red herring and the way to win is to enthuse the base. Her positions failed to enthuse the base and so they were bad. It’s much easier for the right to enthuse the base because their base is morons who are going to project whatever they believe onto the candidate as long as they dog whistle enough.
The haters will downvote us for it but damn is it a good time to have a dark sense of humor. It’s out of our control but its still bad to see the humor in the absurdity I guess.
I’m still holding out for ‘President running the country from prison’ which would almost make it worth it.
