    Unpopular opinion: Kamala was a solid candidate.

    If that is an unpopular opinion then the statement is definitionally false.

      This statement implies popularity = good, universally.

      In the 1800s, slavery was popular. Hence, should a candidate have run on preserving slavery?

        No it doesn’t. A candidate needs a lot of qualities to be “good”. One of those qualities is the ability to be popular on election day. And unpopular candidate isn’t a good candidate. A popular candidate might be.
