The real mandate is for Democrats to stand for a fairer economy.

@rbreich THANK YOU! I’ve been suspecting as much since the election. And, in a terrible sort of way, it kind of makes sense. The people who wanted Trump to be President in 2020 still want him to be President just as bad in 2020. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the people who didn’t want him to be President. It’s not that millions of voters changed their votes from Democrat to Republican, it’s that millions of people who voted Democrat in 2020 chose to stay home in 2024.
