She could have been okay if she stood for anything other than the status quo.

She had to stand for something - I think that she was so unmemorable as a VP that people would have either looked to her past as a prosecutor, or to Biden’s massively unpopular policies on Palestine when trying to define her as a candidate.
…. So she leaned into Biden’s Palestine policies. Like a fucking idiot.

I think that being the alternative to some dinosaurs wasn’t enough. I think she also had to have policies that departed from theirs. Alas, she didn’t and the U.S. decided it wanted something different. (Or the election was swayed by Musk’s illegal vote buying lottery scheme, which he’ll never be punished for, or perhaps those unaudited last minute code updates to voting machines swayed the election, but we’ll never know, because justice is a myth and democracy has always been just performative enough to prevent another rebellion in the U.S.)
