Pretty much all of these armchair autopsies of the election are just an excuse for people to air out their grievances about dem policy they personally have under the guise of good faith recommendations. My armchair autopsy is much better of course:

1.The Vibecession. The economy was the biggest issue for people voting, and when people are unhappy with the economy, their thought doesnt go deeper than "blame the party in power." While every economic indicator is currently trending positive, none of that matters when the republican messaging of "look at these tic tacs" won out. vibes will beat out fact every time. Which brings me to point 2

2.Right wing media dominance. Even beyond the outsized influence Fox News and right wing radio have long had, there is simply no equivalent to outlets like Prager U and The Daily Wire on the left backed by millions in funding to push political content online. MSM outlets like CNN at best carry water for the right in the name of appearing unbiased and at worst show active hostility to the left. Twitter being bought out by a fascist billionaire was just the icing on the cake. Right wing narratives are being amplified unchallenged while the left struggles to even gain a foothold with their messaging. While some of this is almost inevitable due the way social media algorithms favor the clicks generated by the specific brand of sensational, alarmist, conspiracism the right deals in, the fact is that the dems are about a decade behind in terms of how people currently consume news and political info

These are far and away the two biggest factors that cost the dems across all demographics
