Ya'll
This has nothing to do with centrists or progressives
The young black man in Detroit voting for the first time doesn't care where Biden was on the spectrum. The surburban mom in Milwakee thought Trump was too mean. The Indian-American grad student in North Carolina thought Trump was racist.
This election was a refrendum on Trump. Period.
The fact that the GOP congressional and senate folks over performed Trump proves this
It was not a referendum of Trump. Many voters are proud political ignoramuses who don't care about policy and are genuinely disgusted by what is happening in Congress.
It was a referendum on how inspired the candidates made them feel to go out and vote.
Electoral apathy is the poison of American democracy. On a presidential level, wonkiness doesn't work without inspiration.
I can only hope Bidenites like McArthur & co come to their sense next time before they nominate another Clinton, Biden or Donna Shalala next time and lock the GOP in power for another decade.
