      Yeah, I’m starting to think there was never an opportunity to win. I’m thinking it came down to punishing the administration for the economy and none of the other arguments mattered at all.

        Tons of arguments mattered, all of them against kamala. She said to hell with progressive voters and tried competing with trump to win conservative voters. From celebrity republican endorsements, calls for stricter immigration policy, following Trumps lead on proposals like cutting taxes on tipped wages for some reason. Plus all us voters who couldn’t delude ourselves into being okay with genocide.
