I assume this will be misinterpreted - not saying the Dems were fated to lose through no fault of their own (they’re generally left of the American public in ways voters don’t appreciate, and that’s part of what they paid for) but those celebrating bitcoin-minded voters or a rightward swing because voters decided for those policies (rather than just mostly want to not have inflation) are also overly exuberant. nostr:note1sddxmdeps5mk3yz08ayqmfnjkty0adfcay7x9gnnzmnyjtrs8y0q2nz8pa

Given the state of the world, economic turmoil, social unrest, wars, it's understandable people vote for change.
But what you said about Dems being left of most Americans is ridiculous. If you look at voter turnout compared to 2020 or Obama's years, you can see that rather than a shift, former Dem voters just didn't showup. I think it's because Dems are barely distinguishable from the Republicans (Dems == GOP + identity politics), so no actual change.
