    You know, as someone outside the US, I was pretty confident in this election. Harris seemed like a candidate that could stand against Trump in a way that Hillary Clinton never was.

        Hillary was the lightning rod of the party for 20 years. If thought that that had something to do with it. There’s something we aren’t acknowledging.

        It’s because after she was the nominee the same campaign team that Clinton had took over. All the good work her team did was for nothing as everything was scraped and 2016 came again
