That’s more coicindence than causation tho…

Like, what’s more important than that is they were both:

  1. Historically unpopular within their own party

  2. Backing policy significantly to the right of the Dem voting base.

  3. So little charisma it was basically a negative

  4. Bought and paid for by the wealthy

  5. Openly antagonistic to anyone who didn’t only say positive things

  6. Redfused to even open a dialog with the left, and a willingness to pre-emptively acquiesce to demands from the right.

Bonus:

Bill and Hillary ran as a “two for one” so she was seen as a continuation of Bill. And Kamala couldn’t stop saying she’d do everything the same way as Biden. They made themselves in “establishment candidates” when the only party that’s every worked for was Republicans. To make matters worse, trump was still running as anti-establishment and people were falling for it.

The only good time to be an “establishment candidate” does well is when the average American already has a good life…

That hasnt been true in a while, the majority of voters these days weren’t an adult the last time shit was ok. It’ll take a generation before the next “establishment candidate” has a shit, because it’ll take that long for people to trust the establishment again, even if we hit the ground running in 2028 and start fixing shit day 1.
