    Then I’m not sure I’m getting your point. She was popular enough to win the general vote, so in that sense she was the right candidate. But she lost to the swing states, do you think Bernie would have fared better in that regard?

      My point is simply “being more popular than Trump isn’t particularly meaningful”. Maybe she was popular, or maybe she was “better than him” to most people.

      She was shoved down our throats, not chosen by the voters.

      If I remember the polling correctly, a lot of people viewed Bernie favorably. He even polled better than Trump in the Red states.

      But almost nobody viewed Harris favorably. They only tolerated her.

        You mean dick cheney isn’t the voice of the electorate?
