35. She is probably right. But we still had a good candidate in Kamala.

The fact remains that people did not realize how much Biden had accomplished to get us through Covid, get the economy back on track and all the other good things he did. They fell for trumps BS, did not remember his first term or chose to forget it, would not vote for a black woman, chose to sit this one out, etc…….whatever the reason, we are where we are because voters simply chose to take the easy way out. Whether Biden stayed in or not, the outcome would have probably been the same. We had a great candidate who stepped up to the plate on short notice, did a fantastic job and still lost to an idiot.

The choice could not have been clearer and yet this is what we got. What does that say about this country?
