President Joe Biden announced late Sunday that he is pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, who has faced federal prosecution for gun and tax-related charges. The move comes after multiple statements by the president along the campaign trail saying he would not do so if his son is convicted.

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.
