She performed poorly on the national stage last time she was on it.

So like Joe Biden in 2020 who got elected anyway.

She has a decent voting record but doesn’t have a lot of sponsored legislation.

Who gives a shit?

She has a deep flaw from being a former prosecutor.

That is in no way a flaw, let alone a deep one.

On top of that, 13 presidents have been lawyers, including Clinton and Obama.

I’m not aware of her having a passion to fix any particular problems.

Just because you're not aware of something doesn't mean it isn't the case.

Let's see if she can deliver a passionate platform, it's kinda her entire job as a politician and if I, a hyperaware political person, am not familiar with it, then most people have no fucking clue.

Most people have no fucking clue because she's been in the shadows for four years as VP and I think it was pretty obvious that Obama's former VP was going to get the nomination in 2020.

She still has a lot of time for voters to get to know her and your claim of hyperawareness didn't apparently extend to the fact that a whole lot of presidents have been lawyers.

Biden was hardly a foregone conclusion in 2020.
