This is a hard one. The most consequential election was probably 2012 or 2020. I guess I’m a bit contrarian since a lot of folks have 2012 near last.
Things would be a LOT different had Romney won. My mind can’t even fully process how everything would have changed, some things for the better even. At the very least, the D party probably would be in a better place now had he won. Our democratic norms would not be as challenged. Our faith in institutions would not be completely collapsed. Obviously this isn’t directly Obama’s fault, but you don’t have Trump emerging and Russian spies working alongside a presidential campaign with two-term President Romney.
As for 2020, had Trump been re-elected, I just can’t even fathom what a second term would have been like. Mass death, corruption galore, etc.
2016 and 2004 are among the least consequential to me. Ds were f***ed no matter the outcome. A disastrous Hillary presidency or Donald Trump? John Kerry leading us into the Great Recession?
