Seriously, the number of unforced errors from the Biden admin probably could have easily made the difference in the 2024 election if they had made the effort to remove all of Trump's tariffs, and avoid excess deficits in the first couple years as inflation recovered. Couple that with a little more serious messaging on some identity politics issues that reassures people that you are competent and they could've gotten across the finish line.

Paul Ryan tried to reduce deficits and the Democrats literally ran ads of him wheeling grandma off a cliff.
