    I don’t think the Democratic candidate mattered at all. Trump is a psychopath. Any sane adult should have beaten him. Harris wasn’t any different than Biden and he beat Trump. Something else happened. Misinformation, foreign interference, and disenfranchisement lost the election.

      I agree, but I also think the Democrats could have run a candidate that did matter. Harris was just another useless establishment clone.

        If they had done that, they would have lost just the same and people would be complaining that they didn’t run someone more mainstream.
