I think we'll find there was never actually any chance it wouldn't be Trump. People voted on their perception of the economy. All the shit we were on here wringing our hands about, no one actually gave a shit.
The lies and crimes are just seen as normal political bullshit that everyone does. Outside a couple of communities, no one cared about Palestinians. People thought inflation was bad so they voted for change. End of story.
Trump gained in every demographic. That's not Biden's fault. That's us. A bitter contested convention would have only left us more divided. There wasn't a more electable candidate waiting in wings, not when Biden dropped out and not 8 months earlier.
Wait, it was a surprise that Joe Biden was going to be old in 2024?
Nope. It didn't matter. Wouldn't have mattered.
My point is that the party had 4 years to find some electable candidates and I have to assume malice because what happened was absolutely predictable.
I'm convinced the candidate absolutely didn't matter. It was a referendum on how people thought Biden did with the economy. End of story. I fucking wish it was deeper than that.
