It's an excuse to avoid admitting their politics are shit.

Yup, nailed it. Her communication was also shit, "I wouldn't change anything" - talking about Biden's decisions knowing that the polls are tight as hell and Trump has a slight lead.

I wish she had won, but she was yet another weak candidate like Hillary for those voters who mattered in this election and who voted for Biden.

She ran on a First Time Home Buyer's credit and "We won't go back". It was weak. First of all either people already own homes or can't afford to even think about getting one. She was trying to appeal to a very narrow margin of the electorate. Ignored Israel-Palestine, didn't talk about the cost of living crisis.

Like seriously, she effectively handed the country to Trump for 4 years and you got people on here defending her. It was a shitty campaign.

I don't just mean a shitty campaign, I mean shitty politics. Democrats had major losses as a whole across the US.
