    The issue is that doing the right thing and doi g the popular thing are often two different things. Covid almost certainly would’ve been better under Democrat control. It very well could cost them politically though. You can’t really compare hypothetical deaths to actual ones, so they wouldn’t have a number to tell people they saved. A lot of people would have just complained that they’re being forced to do things they don’t like, even if it’s good.
