The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don't quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

    The only reason Brandon ever won was because of covid. If 2020 had been a "normal" year, this would have been how 2020's electoral map looked.

    Because yeah, as others have said, the Dems just have nothing to offer. It's the same as 2016 - Trump does represent an alternative, it just happens to be barbarism.

        Well they would have protected abortion. Which was under threat. During a Democratic administration. To which the Democrat candidate is currently serving as Vice President.

          Would they have? They didn't the last 4 years. Or the 8 under Obama. Or the 8 under Clinton. What evidence is there that the Dems would have done this?
