   Are you sure you don't mean 2020?  If 95% of Democrats voted for her in   
   2024, why didn't she win?   
      
   To me it's two things - 1) she's female and Americans have always been   
   resistant to a female president  2) The Democrats changed brand names   
   midway through the campaign, from Biden to Harris - people didn't have   
   time to get on board.   
      
   I don't think it's anything other than that and I think your statement   
   "Never before has a putative presidential campaign failed so badly in   
   getting anything right." is unjustified and not cited by any tangible   
   means.  It's just rhetoric, and bad rhetoric at that.
