I think you're underestimating how much the democrats alienated their base by pandering to republicans. You are in your own bubble. We all are. My bubble is former democrats who have removed themselves from party but also didn't want Trump. So yes, many people just stayed home.
She got the same amount of votes on average as past Dems so your over estimating it. 2020 was an outliner of fake voting or peak Trump hate. https://i.nostr.build/YNA8HfDe5jAZWgaG.jpg

They really really hated him. 😂 Everyone around me was like OMG literally Hitler and he uses spray tan. So, they elected a Marxist airhead and someone with obvious dementia. 🤷🏻♀️ I don't really get it, but I guess they decided to not double-down on the airhead, this go around.
