People want to downplay this and claim that "if you just ran a more populist campaign..." No. It seems the entire country made a rightward shift. Even in "commie" California, several progressive ballot measures were killed.
This country is going to be fukked for a LONG time.
Been saying this. Her losing simply would say "Aiight, she wasn't the one."
The amount she lost by, and the demographics she lost, as well as the progressive initiatives that got thwarted...we are no different than Hungary and other countries. We are going to the right. Her going left wasn't ensuring a win.
And now we kinda see why. The country is more right-leaning. The calculus, however, did not go in her favor as a bunch of dems sat at home.She didn't run to the left, she ran to the right
They basically left it up to the people who thought "Trump can't be so bad, right? We survived the first go" ignoring the complete botching of a fukking
pandemic that CAUSED HIM TO LOSE 2020! This country is stupid and we have to just come to terms with it.
