    unelectable candidate.

    It’s a FPTP system. She literally just had to be not worse than Trump. She was fine.

      trump’s base was excited. hers was alienated.

      centrists think that that “marginally better than trump. sometimes. if we have to.” is sufficient to win. It’s not.

      Fix your shit and you’ll win.

        Because she was only fine, and humans are illogical idiots who need to be externally motivated to act in their own self interest.

        I know I sound jaded, but it’s beyond stupid that he won. A vote for a literal corpse would’ve made more logical sense for anyone who isn’t far right wing. But fuck critical thinking, I guess.
