Lol, no he wasn't. A soggy potato could have won that election, but the DNC insisted on choosing a candidate who would do such a bad job on power that Trump might as well have won. To the point that a lot of liberals have forgotten that the Biden administration even happened

It's a nice way to feel good about yourself, but terrible way to ground yourself in reality.
