Depressed turnout has always been how Republicans win.

Yeah, except this time Democrats suppressed their own turnout

No, right-wing extremist propaganda pushed by the algorithms of youtube and tiktok suppressed the turnout.

That's a big part of it, but not all.

We've seen a global backlash against the party in power, in that context Harris refusing to distance herself from Biden absolutely contributed.

I would note that she stopped separating from Biden when she got the Cheney endorsement and swung hard to the right. That's where the campaign momentum died.
