It wasn’t a good reason not to vote for her, but unfortunately is one of the reasons some people didn’t vote. She should have never gone negative and stuck to positive messaging about how they had real plans to help real people.

The problem with that is that Democrats’ insistence on incrementalism in all things had destroyed their credibility when they say that they’ll help people. No, they’ll start some investigations, throw up a hurdle in their own path, gleefully announce that it’s insurmountable, and then scream that everyone who saw what they just did doesn’t know how government works.
You’re ignoring that 2 independents caucus with Democrats. It’s dishonest to exclude them. But you’re splitting hairs because it’s convenient for your excuses.
They did NOT do everything. It fact we barely got them to do much. All this information is publicly available. Their voting records are available to see. None of this is hidden. They are the primary reason most of the bills that DID pass were almost completely neutered because they were negotiated down or stalled. This also happened only a few years ago. We are not talking about last decade.

You can’t just ignore how the government works and the fact that Democrats never had a real majority in the Senate thanks to Sinema and Manchin.
We gave Democrats enough seats. They used them predictably.
No, we didn’t. They had 48 seats, which is not enough to accomplish anything.

Two independents from conservative states that barely align with democrats. Why do you handwave this away so easily???
One of the independents is Bernie Sanders.
Manchin and Sinema were both capital-D Democrats at the time they did everything you wanted.
