I am sort of willing to believe the “she lost because she’s a Black woman” lib analysis. She was a shitty candidate, as was Hillary, but it’s not like Biden was a good candidate. He was sundowning from the start, he picked a cop running mate and his policies were “nothing will fundamentally change.” Maybe what he had going for him was the pandemic, general anti-Trump anger was stronger, and reverberations from the George Floyd protests but idk just seems like he was just as shitty as Hillary and Kamala but was able to beat Trump. Someone tell me I’m wrong

Edit: also I’m not saying this is the sole reason, far from it, but I can’t help but feel they do have a point and it played a role

Crazy that their whole strategy was appealing to moderate republicans and swing voters and maybe those people aren't too cool with voting for a black woman regardless of how much of a centrist she painted herself as galaxy-brain
