Why No Blue Wave?

 This explains it well.  And here is another.

Laurie asked... "Why do you think the democrats have trouble getting people to vote for them - that they almost lost the election to a terrible president / candidate?"

My answer is fairly simple...  Biden and the DEM Party's relatively progressive platform.

As long as the DEMs seemingly want to:

• let a large number of asylum seekers / border jumpers into the USA, refusing to deport many who are here illegally and going as far as to give them "sanctuary" from the Federal Immigration Officials
• give trillions of tax dollars to legal and illegal residents who are poor with pretty much no improvement expectations or accountability
• give trillions of tax dollars to public employees / unions with pretty much no improvement expectations or accountability
• blaming the justice system and police officers for legal and illegal residents making bad life choices.
• demand that a fetus is NOT a human and deserves few protections

I am pretty sure the DEMs will have a hard time winning over more moderate states / districts.  Socialism is the wrong word, but Progressive DEMs seem unapologetic about their believing that everyone is "owed" a bunch of things that many of us believe people should work for.
