People have "embraced the suck."
We have not embraced the suck, but far too many that would agree with us have.
The unlikely coalition of the left has built a machine that is very difficult to overcome. We recognized it before Trump came along, but many seem to be ignoring it now. In fact, it might be worse than it used to be because the globalists and Wall Street now support her in numbers that are staggering. The flow of money is hugely in her favor.
I do believe we have a chance at victory, but the left clearly has great confidence (with good reason) in their machine. Trump may win the public debate, but I said after Obama was elected that I was not sure the debate mattered anymore. Tammany Hall owned New York politics for a reason - they were viewed as champions of the working class and immigrants. This lesson was not lost on the democrat machine and they have (and are) recreating it with immigration and organization in cities.
