          Indeed. And at least you could say rightfully point out that Hillary won the popular vote by millions and that the electoral college system is this regressive dogshit thing that led to Trump. Can’t even pretend that’s the case now.

          Love to run the candidate who had to drop out of the 2020 primary before she could even receive a single vote because of how bad she was. It’s after the election and I’m actually still unsure what the positive pitch to vote Democratic was. If you left Trump out of it, what was the message? What was the promise or agenda to vote for Democrats?
