10. Just like COVID-19 was unprecedented

and it's effect on "modeling" - whether for viral transmission/mutations - were all over the map... let alone how it impacted the economy, the MODELING for this election was all wrong here.

When Dems saw what happened with Dobbs, THAT was going to be an issue for people, young and old. But then suddenly over the summer, it was summarily dismissed as an important issue - taking your FUCKING RIGHTS AWAY was "way own on the list" - and people started yelling about "where is the messaging on Social Security and Medicare" and parroting 'it's the economy stupid".

Not every election fits neatly into some curve that the statisticians draw.
