democrats have gained a MORE RELIABLE coalition, but not a LARGER coalition

because their coalition is MORE RELIABLE, they can clean up in low-turnout special elections

but there's reason to believe that advantage could vanish in a general election, because general elections are inherently high turnout, meaning the dems' superpower gets nerfed

Those special elections have also been higher turnout than usual and Biden literally got the most votes out of any POTUS in 2020.

In fact, higher voter turnout in general favors Dems, which is why Republicans fight so hard to suppress voting and have even openly acknowledged when more people vote they lose, so it seems like your logic is backwards here. Republicans have traditionally benefitted from low-turnout voting such as special elections, the country's overwhelming rejection of Trump and his extremism is what's turned that around, in addition to the recent loss of bodily autonomy rights and the acknowledgement that, yes, the USSC & GOP will take your rights away if given the chance and it's not just talk
