    They’re trying to argue they lost because they didn’t learn any lessons from Clinton’s defeat? 🤦🏻‍♂️

      They didn’t need more in person events, we heard all we had to hear and made a decision.

        I’d be surprised if the average voter could state one item from her policy proposal.

          I voted for her and can’t recall. I did so mainly for the good work done in the administration the four years before and honestly I really like walz.

            biden kinda gambled and lost on her, because she was the only choice because of funding so late in the game.

              more than that. since the election had already happened you have that people voted for her in a position to become president if something happened so technically if he had won and stepped down she would just automatically become president. Its really the only decent choice in that situation without having to try and run a last minute special election or such which im like not sure would even be possible.

          I thought the overall consensus was that she didn’t need a policy and voters were somehow okay with that.
