Then again, incumbent losing election in USA is historical fail. Losing popular vote twice is too.

And the same people who gloated about deliberate cruelty are already starting to act like the cruelty is suddenly bad. The same people who yelled about Clinton emails were clapping epical corruption the whole time.

Biden is not president yet and you are already trying to claim some moral high ground.

"incumbent losing" based on elections with rules changed at the last moment by activist judges and a growing list of inconsistencies... with at least one whistleblower who saw illegal actions in one state. (Illegal votes affects "popular vote" too.)

"Cruelty and emails" and the people talking "unity" are the ones who were silent when Obama built cages, droned hospitals and called 1/3rd of Americans "deplorables", "gun toting rednecks" and now "chumps" and "ugly"...

"epical corruption" The difference is there's hard proof of Clintons (and Biden's) corruption... there's still no hard proof of Trumps "corruption". Even leaked taxes has nothing illegal mentioned.

"Moral high ground" when comparing Democrats vs Republicans its easy to claim high ground against Democrats... They set a VERY low bar. So low that they lost to Trump.
