.....if you really believe that the 2020 election didn't have any significant peculiarities, then you need to figure out what happened to the 10 M voters that didn't vote for you this cycle....didn't vote for Trump, or Stein, or JFK Jr either....they just didn't vote...they disappeared - at least politically speaking.
Joe Biden got those votes while running a campaign from his basement, and he is NOT charismatic. Most of the voter ID laxity from 2020 was carried through to 2024, so that doesn't explain it. Also, the "get out the vote effort" was more robust in 2024 than it ever was, even in 2020, and it had MORE money to do it with as well as federal and state support - so this also does not explain it.

So what was it that alienated this group SO much that they would make the effort then to vote Dem and not vote at all now?

You know that I believe that a significant portion of those 10 million ghosts were fabricated. But setting that aside and assuming they were real, then I would look equally to policy and candidate choice. Bypassing the primary process to put in a DEI candidate that couldn't even garner a single delegate in the Dem primary vote in 2020
was both foolish, and quite frankly, undemocratic. It also shines a light on the whole DEI agenda that the Dems have been pushing as well.
