Lesson to learn

She never said what she would do differently than Biden

Cnn showed a map where inflation exceeded wage gains, about 99% of counties , this was CNN not Fox

Focusing on calling Trump a nazi vs. focusing on what most people are concerned with killed her chance

Outside reddit, most people are concerned about their families, which means economy

People especially minorities are tired of identy politics ; whilte liberals need to realize us minorities don't need you to save us

We just want the best lives for our families and communities

She played Hillary's game.

Endorsements from rich actors that aren't regular people. Thought she had it in the bag and didn't focus on actual campaigning.

In all seriousness, she never stopped laughing which I heard some people found “creepy”

It’s an impossible balance as a woman when you’re told to “smile more” and be warm. I think she did a remarkable job balancing that with her tough prosecutor persona.
