I muse on this as well but recently I'm struck that the entire conversation is something of a distraction. Everyone is focused on the current administration, what they're doing right or wrong, contrasting it with Biden, etc.

My question is - how did we even reach this point? I understand people didn't like Hillary Clinton and the way they dealt with Biden's age was abysmal when he was in office.

But I have literally never seen anyone express that they wish Clinton had won over Trump back in 2016. I find that really strange.

I won't say I never see it because I do but the reason you rarely see it is Bernie Sanders. The DNC played dirty when it came to Sanders in 2016 and it tainted Clinton's entire campaign and it really continues to taint the DNC to this day. A lot of Obama to Trump voters would've voted Sanders and progressives never forgot or forgave how the DNC treated Sanders.

Right, I mean...sure. That all makes sense.

But now look at all the changes happening since the composition of SCOTUS changed. It was pretty much guaranteed that would happen with a Trump win. And yet people still went for it.

That just doesn't compute for this guy.
