Well said. As soon as Harris started parading Biden around on campaign events and talking about "we love you Joe" I knew it was over. It doesn't matter that a lot of the circumstances were out of his control, to many people Biden's term is associated with hardship. The Dems had a unique opportunity to sidestep the issue by having Harris position herself as a separate candidate, distancing herself from the Biden administration and pushing a narrative of her having different and new ideas for the country. Instead they tried themselves to the status quo in a moment where the everyman is suffering and it pulled them down like a boat anchor.

It's a damn embarrassment, and the whole world is left weeping. Fucking hell.
