LOL, nah. Pretending people were too sexist to vote for Hillary and some white male neolib would’ve done better is nothing but a fantasy neolibs tell themselves to try to excuse their corporate bootlicking.
Yes, conditions in 2016 were markedly different. Biden was the VP of a highly successful president. Hillary had been demonized by the right for 2 decades and by the left for 1 decade. By the forward progression of time, Biden was weaker in 2024 than he was in 2020. Conversely, he would have been a stronger candidate in 2016.
Listen, every other “X could have beat Trump” is a hypothetical. Trump has only ever been beaten once, and I don’t want to carry on a factual debate with a Qanon MAGA hat that doesn’t believe in logic, just “feels”, so good night.
Well clearly someone’s emotions have gotten the best of them. Have fun wallowing in your hypotheticals and lashing out at people meaninglessly. After 8 years of Obama, America was not voting for Obama 2 immediately after. That is a crazy take.

Well, and a preemptive excuse for shutting out AOC.
True! But also shutting out AOC is itself an example of said corporate bootlicking, so it’s not so much of a “well, and” as it is an “including.”
Biden won against Trump, unless you are part of the MAGA cult that believes he lost in 2020.
And the conditions in 2016 were markedly different than they were in 2020, unless you don’t believe in the forward progression of time.
In other news, a tautology is a tautology.

Edit: Obama 2, now more boring and uninspiring!
I was there. Biden was not the solution then.
Biden squeaked by only because Trump fucked up the pandemic so badly. That does not mean he would’ve won in 2016.
