And as expected, you blame the candidates for being "lackluster." You makes some interesting points, but you did not mention how Gore lost due to a massive act of electoral fraud, that Clinton lost because of Comey's 11th hour announcement that they were re-opening their investigation into her emails, and Harris lost because of racism and misogyny.
Of course, that is based on a passing read. I promise to read it in full, and ask that you consider an explanation I wrote for the loss in 2024:
