2024, as 2016, there was much more at stake. We lost the supreme court because of that, and in case you haven't noticed trump is very close to test unitary executive privilege with THIS supreme court, which means we will effectively have a dictator just before the midterms unless the Supreme Court, or the voters are able to stop it, and based on the previous actions of the supreme court, I don't hold out too much hope for them.
She influenced a lot of voters in the critical swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, and her lack of endorsement, was a critical issue for many voters in Michigan.
I am absolutely convinced that VP Harris would have done everything differently, and brought all parties back to the negotiating table, because that was part of her four point plan.
