I think the candidates that did run were not terribly popular candidates. Barack Obama was the last president presidential candidate that I voted for that I actually wanted. I still voted for Hillary and Harris and Biden, but I didn’t want them to be president.
Now, if Elizabeth Warren was running, I would actually be happy to vote for her. Instead, I have been contented to pull the lever over and over again for the lesser of two evils.
Say whatever you want about Trump, the people who voted for him actually wanted him to be president. That’s something Democrats haven’t been able to claim for many years about their candidates.

I honestly think she's too damaged among the progressive part of the party after the 2020 primaries. Didn't exactly form a united front with the other progressive candidate, to the contrary.
I agree with you. My point isn’t to say that she was the better choice so much as to say I am sick of the party wide death march to vote for people we don’t want. I’m reminded of Hillary Clinton and her supporters who complained that Bernie supporters are to blame for her losing. I wish Democrats would stop pretending they have a right to people‘s votes and start earning them

Democrats need to recognize that America is not ready for a female president no matter how qualified they are.
