They never ask regular folk on the street why something like this happened because they run away and hide from that narrative like it's a plague rat:
The democrats, as predicted by many (including myself), not only failed to keep their 2020 campaign promises but are actively making things worse for average citizens just to please their mega-donors, the war industry, and the corporate ruling class.
That's it. That's all it takes.
All the banal rhetoric about "messaging" or trying to blame a large share of the results on racism or the most ridiculous take of all -that the democrats had moved TOO FAR left- are smokescreens so the corporate infotainment machines can avoid talking about the collapse of this entire predatory capitalist system like vampires avoid sunlight and for the same reason... once they expose themselves to that reality what little credibility and relevance they still have will burst into flames and crumble into ash.
It can't happen soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.
