    Probably like 95% of their votes are already baked in through pure inertia, it’s possible she could have run no campaign at all and landed roughly where she did.

        Probably would have done better if she had done nothing.

        Hell they’d make successful decisions then immediately reverse when they were shown to be good ones only to go full warmonger.

        No. She ran a campaign. She was all over social media. She had commercials. She was doing rallies. She was pretty active.

        In a way that was the problem because she was not giving the speeches and answering the questions that motivated people to vote for her. Her inability to move even a fraction left on some key issues just gave more fuel to the dumpster fire of apathy and resentment that the Democrats keep perpetually burning and really ended up suppressing turnout. People would rather stand alone in the cold than huddle around it anymore.
