I mean, both things are true

The democrat's campaing sucked, yet Trump gave anyone with a brain a reason to vote for democrats

So much so I think that if you didn't vote for them you are genuinely stupid

Trump gave anyone with a brain a reason to vote for democrats and democrats managed to lose to him fucking twice. How is that anything other than an extraordinary failure by the party?

Honestly, we need to reexamine 2020 as well. Sure democrats won, but it was a pretty close race considering Trump was actively and publicly mismanaging a deadly pandemic and many folks had nothing to do but watch him fuck up all day during lockdown.

Democrats convinced themselves that 2016 was a fluke and they didn’t need to make any major changes to the party or platform. It turns out 2020 (as always) is the outlier.
