A simple explanation for our loss [View all]

There’s only one reasonable explanation why our vote totals went down so much. While Trump played to his base, we did just the opposite. We went after Republicans instead of focusing on our base. Regardless of reports of high enthusiasm, our voters didn’t show up. There were many women who were extra enthusiastic, but a lot of Democrats didn’t bother to vote. Running around the country with Liz Cheney didn’t sit well with many liberals. The high water mark of the elections was the debate where Kamala eviserated Trump. Day by day her advantage slipped away.
