Look at the choices. A convicted rapist and felon raised in the lap of luxury whose only first term achievements were a tax cut for the rich and setting up the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Or a charismatic career public servant raised by a single mother, vowing to help the working and middle classes.

Close or not, Democrats lost to option number one. That in itself is damning.
