many polls which showed her defeating trump unquestionably.

And if we were counting actual votes, not the imaginary value of areas of abstract landmass, then it would have been accurate and we would have had a competent person with political experience in office for four years during a pandemic.

Who knows how that alternative history would have gone down. I can only assume that it would have been far better for our nation's feelings and attitude, which is arguably far more important than even policy. A strong, morally solid population votes in everyone's best interest, a scared and isolated population votes for whatever seems to give them comfort.
