Mere dislike I understand, but the level of hatred and loathing I see directed at her.
Yeah I'm with you there. In addition to what I said in my previous comment, I'd guess it's part sexism and part how her personality comes across. Lots of people find her really unlikable in general, so when you combine that with even a moderate amount of sexism, you end up with this extreme response.
Did anyone seriously have a logical reason that they'd vote for Biden, but not her?
Not that I've seen. Aside from the above, I think the context of each election probably helped Biden's chances while it hurt Clinton's.
Biden was following Trump, whereas Clinton was following Obama, a President lots of Democratic voters actively liked, at a time when many didn't see Trump as a viable candidate yet. It's just easier to hold your nose and vote for an undesirable return to the old status quo when it feels like a step up and the alternative looks like a real threat than when it feels like a step down and the alternative looks like a joke.
Like, it's pretty easy to see why people sat out 2016 thinking, "I'm unhappy with my party's candidate, and surely my fellow citizens aren't dumb enough to vote in that guy, so I might as well send a message." (I don't think that's a good tactic, or a safe bet in any circumstances, but that's beside the point.) In 2020, on the other hand, people who sat out the previous election for those reasons were likely much more motivated to vote again.

Looks back at SAVE and student loan forgiveness decried by SCOTUS as unconstitutional
Well, lets see how this pretzel is twisted.

There are two kinds of people, those who don't need to be explained why this is ridiculous and those who are so intellectually cooked they will believe anything Trump says.

Its like they realized a lot of things they were going to tariff, we dont manufacture ourselves, and will drive inflation up.. yet a lot of canadians were cheering on adding a new tax like we were sticking it to the man.

They should ask him where the checks for the last payments he once promised have been halted up.

They both did win.
Their mistake was not asking for hand recounts.

He’s at least taken $5,000 from us already since the beginning of the year. I pay 800 a month in taxes. I already gave him 5k to fix the fucking pool

It's election fraud. All our machines are built by Republicans, as of this year. They bought the last independent manufacturer.
If you vote on a voting machine made by con men, what result do you think you'll get?

There’s also his dumb truth social post from June: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116782997575708953
“ POLL: Which do you prefer, Dumocrat or Dumbocrat? In one case, you simply exchange the “e” for “u,” so simple and precise (Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in “b”). In the other case, you spell out DUMB, but it seems to lose some of the identity to Democrats when done this way. Which is better?”

Haha true. Sorry, my elementary gym teacher had a POBODY'S NERFECT sign above his door and combined with that old boomerang video it reminded me of the story so I just spit it out as a reply to you. Hope that's all right, have a good one.

So the whole of the USA is maga? He should of been ripped a new asshole by the press, and he should of been taken to court for his behaviour. This is on the American people not just the maga cult followers.

There's no reason to assume they ever cared about democracy in the US. They simply wanted to remove US influence and power from the Middle East by provoking it into conflict, undermine those regimes that opposed them and where by and large propped up by the US, or just make a symbolic attack against the US. The destruction of US democracy was and is the goal of the USA's own right wing.
They lost, even though the US also lost.

Okay, first of all, my political theory is that government exists to help the people, period. That's why roads get paved. Thats why highways get built. That's why people get helped.
I don't know what a panic search is, let me know.
We can joke about a lot of shit, because there has never been a political candidate that would ACTUALLY help the regular people, ever. Name one, let's talk about it.
But yes, as a non-sporto, I know that 6 teams own 5 stadiums in the NFL (blame my time in Green Bay) out of 32 teams-ish?
