    If we didn’t have the archaic Electoral College system, she would have won. She won the popular vote by millions.

      Bernie would have won if the DNC wasn’t so heavily focused on it being her “turn”. And then it was Joes “turn” after that. Bernie was the only person Trump was afraid of.

      Not saying you’re wrong or anything. Just adding to it.

        This wasn’t true about Biden. The establishment didn’t care who won that primary, as long as it wasn’t Bernie. I think Harris was their first choice, but they flipped to Biden when she tanked.

          Biden absolutely believes he “earned” his time as president. He’s a life long politician that went through all the steps for it.

            That may be, but he’s better at hiding it than Hillary. She seemed to always be making it clear that it was her turn. That message came across much more strongly than anything else.
