Did they, though? Or has a generational institution of gerrymandering and targeted voter suppression simply become insurmountable?

or it was the opposition party putting up a shitty worthless candidate that was never going to win.

because the democratic party is total delusional when it comes to understanding the issues American face and are concerned about. the republicans aren't.

the republicans lie though. but most human beings would rather be lied to and listened to, than ignored and told to suck it up because they have it 'so good'.

Gerrymandering has no impact on general elections though

You’re right, controlling how local governments elect representatives and spend money and disseminate media narratives has absolutely no outcome on general elections.

Totally.
