Also stupid: ignoring calls that you’re too old, dropping out way too late for a primary and handing off to your VP who was not particularly popular last primary.
Biden did a lot of deeply frustrating and very wrongheaded things, but Garland for AG, imo, cleanly takes the cake. I genuinely cannot think of a more feckless, functionally useless, and societally harmful nomination that he made.
Continued the initial push of laying her foot into the collective asses of the MAGA collective. That first month or so was great and Dems needed that energy.
Gone against Biden and condemned the situation in Gaza AND remind everyone that Ukraine is still going.
Not listened to the idiot Dem “strategists” who seem so fucking convinced that courting modern Conservatives is a good idea.
Had she done these three things and even the shit communications of the Dems could not have stopped the word of mouth and internet celebrity status she would have had.

Also putting a heritage foundation sympathizer as your AG.
Not accounting postal board members who would remove the scum that is DeJoy.
Letting Israel genocide Palestine without cutting off the weapon supply. While also dragging us into shit with Iran.
