    That’s not what he said. The turnout for Biden was lesser because his “nothing will fundamentally change” message was for the donor class and the literal opposite of what people needed to hear. Then Kamala was finally “allowed” to take over the campaign and when asked she essentially said “everything Biden did was great, I wouldn’t and won’t do anything different.” which was also the literal opposite of what people needed to hear. It’s what the monied class needed to hear though, but although their money can break a candidate they can’t force people to vote or be excited so the turnout wasn’t enough to beat the trump cult of personality.

    Everything Trump did was Trump’s fault, but Bidens inaction and Kamalas intent to keep doing “nothing” doomed their campaign. Of course add to the mix “Israel is perfect and doesn’t ever do anything wrong, we’re never going to confront them” didn’t help either.

      Except my entire point stands for trumps first term when he regularly broke the law and failed to be held accountable. Long before Biden was relevant again.

        That’s fine, but that’s not what you said so that’s not what I was responding to. You were responding to a comment questioning what givesomefucks said. Now you’re saying it’s about Trump’s first term, but that’s not what the original comment was about.

        Edit: I think I was the one misreading the original comment
