In hindsight, I think the big issue with her campaign was simply how little time they had. We should have done an actual fucking primary, or Biden should have bowed out sooner, or at bare minimum she should have simply been as inescapably in the headlines as humanly possible because apparently there’s a contingent of dense enough motherfuckers out there that people were searching who was running on election day.
I’ve been calling it carnival barker energy. It’s not exactly charisma, it’s stage presence comprised mostly of speed, energy, and volume. And it’s fucking catnip to morons apparently.
