    The election was 7 months off at that point. No one knew how long the pandemic would last, how bad it would be, how it would shape the general election, how voting would look in the fall, etc.

    Except China had already gone into an extensive quarentine and everyone was already worried, the only ones downplaying this shit was Trump with his stupid memes. If you thought the pandemic would be over in 6 months you were drinking the coolaid and he absolutely should be remembered for it. What is conceding the nomination going to achieve if people are still going to have to expose themselves 6 months from now.

    Oh sorry excuse me, look at this chart the US can't possibly be this incompetent this will be solved 6 months from now. I don't have to feel guilty about being a coward.

    Look, I’m sorry you fell in love and got hurt, but your ex isn’t responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. You have to move on at some point.

    You are the one bending your back backwards trying to justify the incredible miscalculation of a cucked spineless old man. You are like the ex who still wants to remember the old good times and isn't willing to admit your partner was just a useless piece of shit.

      This is just completely inaccurate -- not even remotely close to correct. You're confusing the most pessimistic early takes (which proved to be more correct, if not entirely correct) with what most people thought of the pandemic when it first hit the U.S. Most people didn't expect major disruptions to go on for months because almost no one alive has experienced anything like this. And there's no way anyone could have known how voting would look in November even if they bought into the most pessimistic takes right off the bat.
