One of the biggest defeats for Democrats, possibly ever. The coalitions and people Democrats spent years pandering to have turned their backs on them. Biden has beaten historic inflation. Stock and other markets have recovered, making new all-time highs. There is no recession, and unemployment remains low. The U.S. has supplied Ukraine and Israel with endless arms (though poorly executed).
However, it wasn’t enough to beat a convicted felon who is most responsible for the current state political discourse, and the most responsible for the spread of disinformation, a candidate whose previous campaign members were tried and convicted for various crime, a candidate who stole dozens of boxes of classified secrets and fumbled the coronavirus response early on, only to be saved by the greatest fiscal stimulus fraud in history: the pandemic PPP/unemployment programs.
To allow this to happen, Democrats must have failed to sell their achievements, and Biden had to be the worst advocate for Democrats during his presidency. Democratic leadership had one job: to agree Biden would be a one-term president and groom the next candidate as soon as he took office, a candidate just as strong as Biden was in 2020. This candidate would relentlessly sell the achievements made by Democrats. It’s a tragic loss, and Democrats may take a long time to recover if we’re being real.
