They’re both historically unpopular candidates, Biden took his first hit after the Afghanistan pullout and never recovered from the low 40s of approval, took his 2nd hit with Israel and is trending downward still.
But we’re still gonna pick the non-dictator option by a huge popular vote margin. The other 40% are cheering the dictator.
The problem it’s the swing state morons, who either don’t bother voting or “protest” vote for some third party and end up enabling the fucking dictator. Those are the only possible sleepwalkers. And there really aren’t that many of them.
Do you think it’s ironic how Hillary was so willing to drive them away by calling them deplorables, yet it only enabled them further by sloganizing the fact the Democrats hate them? I don’t see the rationality in both accepting you need more voters in these swing states, while simultaneously pushing them further away. Seems like this is part of the downward spiral.
Hillary Clinton was a fucking horrendous candidate and represented everything wrong with the Democrats. They should have put an honest to god progressive up there.
The Democrat superdelegates didn’t want Sander because he threatened to alter the economic arrangement of Democrat donors, aligning instead with popular politics. Hillary was more of a Democrat vision than a viable candidate. Biden is too but he succeeded relative to Trump’s failure.
Ultimately nobody wanted to take the L on that one, this goes back to Obama too. Everyone knew how fast it would fall and how bad it would look and when it was put on the table they delayed it, Trump included. IMO it’s one of the best things Biden did and showed his integrity on the topic, he was willing to be the loser and think about others, and go against the interests of the military contractors etc.
Biden actually took full credit and responsibility for that on a few occasions, I think he explicitly stated “this responsibility rests with me and me alone” or something to that effect. So “blaming” Trump for this good thing is ironically giving Trump credit.

That’s the one Mr Trump started after a really bad plan, right?
