There is a between "good now" and "will become good". Both are referred to as optimistic but they're completely different. The lesson here is that "good now" will never win an election, ever.

That said, I still really want to see an analysis of swings between 2016 and 2024, not just 2020. It might be that Kamala's "good in some ways, bad in others" nuanced rhetoric was actually very effective and led to the strongest incumbent defense of 2024.

Looking at the conditions that got FDR, JFK, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden elected I have to wonder if theres some kind of perception that the Democrats are the crisis party, although its probably mostly due to their comparatively forward thinking and Republicans tendency to screw up.
