This was Hillary's strategy for winning in 2016, believe it or not. This was revealed by WikiLeaks.

No way they could've predicted that backfiring, right?

Just imagine how much better the world would be right now if she fucked off and allowed Bernie to win

To be fair, the onslaught of negative Trump coverage also helped him lose the house in 2018, the general in 2020 and a shit load of easy Republican house seats in 2022.

People seem to forget that a lot of folks stayed home in 2016 because they thought it was impossible for that clown shoe to get elected. No one believes that anymore.
