When they thought they were winning, it’s cause Biden appealed to disaffected republicans (no attention is paid to the fact that Trump added on to his percentage of registered republicans compared to 2016).
Not only that, ALL the moderate Republicans running lost. All of them lost and now the GOP has more fascistic politicians and straight up QAnon people headed to congress.
What this really proves is that the GOP has truly moved so far to the right, that there isn’t going to be anymore quote on quote “moderate” Republicans for these centrists to work with. The Bush era style neo-cons barely survived the onslaught of the Tea Party after 2010 and you can see this with conservative voters and how much they hated McCain and Romney after 2012. Democrats didn’t seem to get the memo or pay attention to what conservatives were saying openly about how much they disliked these old ghouls back in the mid 2010s. Trump was treated as a whole different thing but in reality, he was the endgame result of the Tea Party. Imagine if they had Trump or someone similar in 2012 at the height of their movement and they probably beat Obama back then.
The Democratic party basically has reinvented itself as the smug, college educated rich people’s party under Biden. That’s the result after all their attempts of reaching out to suburban white people and moderate Republicans.
I agree with you entirely, but in this election they didn’t want poor working class votes. They advertised Biden as the “middle class president” and they made several comments that were in the vein of smugly mocking the poor, like Biden talking about the “uneducated” like they were subhuman. They didn’t even try to pretend to care about the working class this time around, they either ignored them or talked down to them.
That’s the future of the Democratic party. They no longer even pretend to care about the working man.
