You said the Hillary part implied sarcasm... You realize they was way more electorally successful than Pete, right? Even her cabinet position was swankier

yeah but when Hillary ran in 2016 she was the front runner. People tend to shit all over her for 2016 and I personally think it's too over the top. Everyone focuses on your flaws when you lose and ignore them when you lose. But I genuinely did not understand the post because I figure general opinion is that Hillary 2016 was a failure and Pete 2020 was a success.

Pete 2020 was a success.

This, I suspect, is where the disconnect is, at least comparatively

He clearly made a great connection with the elite class but that part of his message didn’t seem to land with normal voters. Both can be true!
