It's a bit speculative that Clinton would not have approved vaccines or
had the equivalent Operation Warp Speed.  In addition, she probably would
not have said that "everything is under control" once COVID hit Seattle.
Nor suggested that injecting with bleach would be helpful.  Trump was just
a complete and total disaster with COVID; I don't think Ted is recognizing
the totality of the failures.

What's worse, the economy fell into shit and that was the real reason
Biden won; the COVID bumbling was just icing on the cake and probably
explains why Biden got more votes than any American politician in the
history of the United States.

Overall, I disagree with this analysis and agree more with
electoral-vote.org's analysis that most elections, and presidential
elections in particular, are all about the economy, that democracy is a
sham, and that who wins is entirely a roll of the dice.  In fact, you may
as well get rid of democracy and let the state of the economy entirely
dictate who does and does not get into office, and stop fucking around
with voting.

Maybe this is what the Powell Memo really said.
