    Hindsight is 20/20; if perfection was easy, everyone would do it. Why they didn’t isn’t going to be figured out by a lemmy strategist. After all, it was her team who got Obama elected twice against a white war POW war hero and a rich white businessman. Not like they were traitors or some shit, lol.

    Look, these are all objective facts:

    • Harris had one of the best campaigns possible given the short time she had and surrounding forces.
    • Trump had ENORMOUS advantages, counter to the implied claim from the original user, claiming “she spent $1b and lost”
    • On hindsight, Harris team could’ve maybe performed better.
    • But, importantly, it should’ve been more than enough.

    So let’s stop blaming the candidate, acting like “if you would’ve thrown a few more pebbles at the tank, maybe you would’ve won the fight! Weak!”

    Given all this, my compromise is this: Michelle Obama should run in 2028 because, like you said, we need all the advantages we can get. Democrats will not get a more perfect candidate.
