The Dems pissing off the most volatile part of their electorate (the youth vote) probably didn't help either

Yes, but no. More years for context (count in millions)

2016: 66 Hillary v 63 Trump

2012: 66 Obama v 61 Romney

2008: 69 Obama v 60 McCain

2020 was a rarity in terms of turnout, 4 years of trump motivated a lot of angry Dems, but 4 years of Nothing will fundamentally change doesn't really excite the base. Add on top of that the Dems last second changed their nominee to a person who dropped out of the 2020 primary because she did not have a base.. If I remember right, it was so bad even mayo Pete had a higher percentage of the black vote.

I admit I was at least hoping for some federal-level gridlock, but it looks like it's quite possible that Red MAGA will have *all* branches of the federal government soon. in c/[email protected]

It was Merrick Garland, and he did, Newt didn't care because denying the judge was the point. The Dems could have forced it through anyway but refused because 'they go low we go high" and "it would mean the repubs can do it later"

Look at the vote totals, (as of right now) Harris 66 mi vs Trump's 71, compare this to 2020, 81 Biden vs 74 Trump.There is also this Pew article which shows the breakdown of non-voters

The simple conclusion is that the singularly most important thing a politician can do is excite and move their base. For how awful/low energy his campaign was this year, trump still excites and moves a base, while kamala was confused about what base to cater to- first calling Republicans weird then copying their platform and getting the dick Cheney approval.

This all could have been avoided if the Dems actually had a primary this year, but I think the DNC is actually afraid of progressives taking the party back over
