Combine that with how horrible Ws term went, particularly at the end, and theres no question why he did so well. I dont think were likely to see anything like that again, on our side, for a long time.
Biden squeaked it out because people were so sick of Piss Wigs endless nonsense that they came out in droves to vote against him and Joe was safe.
Hillary was hampered by the decades long propaganda campaign against her, the fact that we had eight years of a Democratic President and, for whatever reason, suffered from likability issues.
Unfortunately Harris carried the baggage of the perception of Biden. They did a really good job but no one knows it. Her message was drowned out by the billions in dark money and she didnt help herself by saying she wouldnt have changed anything.
Ultimately though, she and Secretary Clinton are women. And that is apparently still a big problem.
