While she is a uniquely bad candidate, I actually do think she is and was a better candidate than Biden. It's a somewhat weird place to be

She's more visible but he's been on the wrong side of every social issue and generally at least slightly shittier than her for forty years.

Clinton has been wildly unpopular for the past 30 years. Biden may have been uncomfortably pro-segregation, been best friends with Storm Thurmond, and help usher in the neoliberal order, but he was veey popular as the Obama's VP, and that image has carried him a long way since 2009. Hillary massively fails the vibe check.

Yep, Biden is basically riding Obama's coattails even today as President and everyone just overlooks that he was the racist centrist there to placate the "moderates"
