Because two years ago, she was the frontwoman of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

When Biden flamed out, there was an opportunity to chart a clear course away from the imbecilic positions and sound bytes of the DNC’s establishment and political consultant class. Instead, she toed the line, and lost. Not to mention, voter turnout tanked because she was just offering more of the same, instead of actually making any attempt to iterate and improve on any of Biden’s positions.

Hey! It wasn't just more of the same. She said she would be open to having a repub in her cabinet.
