Biden’s voice was strong and clear, and the crowd was far warmer to him as an outgoing president

    Biden’s job was to save the party from a Bernie Sanders nomination. The DNC and the corporations couldn’t have that.

        Misogyny was a small part of it and mostly used as an insult to people that had questions. Kamala hasn’t been accused of any crimes as far as I know. That’s the biggest difference between the two campaigns, aside from the fact that everyone is relieved Biden is leaving office by choice. Hilary might have even been able to win this election, but I definitely would rather have Kamala over Hillary.

          And people apparently preferred trump over her but even people who hate her have to admit that she’d have been bettEr.

            It would be hard to have been worse than Trump. But that’s hardly an endorsement when a literal rock would have done better.

                  The problem was, with Hillary’s “It’s my turn!” nonsense, she managed to come across as more egotistical than Trump…

                  Hell, compare the slogans “I’m With Her” and “Make America Great Again”, it doesn’t matter that the latter is a racist dogwhistle it still sounds to the common man like a rallying cry to empower the nation whereas the former just sounds like a call for obedience to Queen Clinton.

                  She really needed to at least pretend to be relatable, but she didn’t, Trump got his Supreme Court picks, and now anyone with a uterus is in danger of dying in Texas because doctors are rightfully worried they’ll go to jail if they try to provide medical care.
