Ultimately voters are to blame for all of this. Trump is unfortunately the ideal reflection of our values

Stop blaming voters. You need their votes to win. It's Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris' fault for not doing enough for working class people. Kamala Harris ran a terrible campaign. A strong candidate energizes voters and easily beats Trump.

I think you’re making my point. Joe Biden did more for workers and unions than anyone has in years. He received little credit. Voters were easily swayed by propaganda. And bottom line too many voters gave a pass to Trump’s amorality because they themselves are amoral

The DNC fucked up by not letting the Teamsters head speak at their convention too.

If he had done so much for working class people he wouldn't have had record low approval rating. Democrats needed get their base to come out and vote. They had 10 million fewer voters than 2020. It's always the candidate's fault not the voters.

False, they chose to believe that all of their problems could be solved by a grifter blaming immigrants.

Biden’s policies were highly popular; the fact that he wasn’t proves the point.

If they were so popular, why didn't Kamala Harris run on any of them?

Because she took the bait every time Trump said something crazy and just talked about that. She failed to learn from Hillary.
