Voter turnout was the second highest since women got the right to vote. Voters came out and narrowly voted for Trump in seven key states. Many didn't like him, but didn't believe that the Dems actually cared about their issues. And while Trump is crass and wish he were nicer, at least life during his presidency wasn't bad for them.
This was the most important election in our life time and the best the Democrats could do was pick the next person in line.
The last two elections were also the most important elections of our lifetime.
Agreed. And the best the Democrats could do was give the next person in line. It didn't work in 2016 and it didn't work in 2024.
