It mattered that Democrats didn't run a campaign that could actually win

What I am saying is the Democrats were irrelevant. It didn't matter who they ran. It didn't matter what their policy was. Not being Trump should have been enough to win by a landslide if people weren't too misinformed or apathetic.

If you care about beating Trump, then whether the Democrats ran a campaign that could win is extremely relevant.

Not being Trump should

Ok, but it's not.

Ok, but it's not.

Agreed. That's the interesting question to me. Why wasn't it simply the decision between democracy and fascism?

Did people not see it in that perspective? Or did they see it that way but still choose fascism? Does that mean people don't believe in democracy anymore? Or are they so convinced by propaganda that fascism is the only way to save us from an imaginary threat?

The reason matters because that determines what is needed to solve the problem.

No, it's perfectly coherent; you're just being a baby because I called your actually incoherent comment incoherent.
