RT by @ettingermentum: At long lastā€”the 2024 presidential election in Nevada, mapped by precinct. Voting for both Clinton and Biden before flipping to Trump, long-term trends are particularly bleak for Dems in the Silver State. Major losses in Vegas (particularly among Latinos) delivered NV for Trump.

A majority of voters said they wanted ā€œcompleteā€ or ā€œmajorā€ changes to political and economic systems. However, Democrats were seen more as committed to upholding existing institutions.

RT by @ettingermentum: Inflation ā€” and specifically the cost of food and groceries ā€” ranked as a top concern for voters throughout the election. Voters blamed Biden more than any other group for what they perceived to be a bad economy. And they thought Harris would continue the same policies.

This will also probably end up helping centrists out a lot over the next four years. By the time people went to bed last month it looked like Trump was going to win by like 5 points and that Dems would lose every competitive senate seat.

People really underestimate how much of an impact it can have. Beto probably wouldn't have run for president in 2020 if the way votes were counted in 2018 (he had an early lead in his race while Dems were losing senate seats) didn't make him look like "the one Dem who did well."

R to @ettingermentum: Georgia going blue totally changed things. It got Biden over 300 EVs, got Dems a new and exotic flip, and was clearly a result of at least some people rejecting Trump. But that wasnā€™t clear until the end of the week, and the senate wins werenā€™t until January.

R to @ettingermentum: 2020 looked like an outright disaster by itself, not just relative to expectations, on election night. States that people thought would be close (FL, OH, IA) were called early. Trump led all the tipping point states. It looked like the GOP would win 51 or even 52 senate seats.

It is annoying if not surprising that centrists demand that every piece of left-wing rhetoric from the past decade be subject to an electoralist stress test while also saying itā€™s mean and unfair to look back on the electoral impact of their unpopular foreign policy initiatives.
