A Left Wing Cannot Flap Alone, Which Is Why We Needed Dick Cheney's Endorsement

With that said though, given that the US economy really is in a pretty decent spot right now, better than almost anywhere else... yes, I think that I entirely agree with what you said about the US electorate being so spoiled that they don't realize how good we have it.

I think what we saw was that, when individual voters experience rising grocery prices and skyrocketing rent, being told the US economy is doing really well sounds hollow and out-of-touch.

Insofar as it being his most decisive result, it isn't about the numbers. It's the fact that he barely squeaked it out the first time, lost outright the second time, was indicted almost a hundred times, was convicted of three dozen felonies, and in spite of all that, this election was essentially over as soon as the polls closed, and there was absolutely no uncertainty of the outcome 24 hours later. You could call 2016 a fluke and 202 a correction, but in many ways, this is a confirmation that the Democratic Party is broadly lacking in credibility with voters and painfully lacking in competence with regards to managing campaigns and messenging, at the game of electoral democracy in general, and worst of all, unwilling to adapt even in the face of catastrophic defeat, as we are seeing with the wizened neoliberal losers in command continuing to demonstrate that personally empowering themselves and enriching each other is all they really care about.
