Why didn't the Blue Wave happen?

Biden will probably win but only just. He badly underscored his polling, as did the Democrats nationally.

Im not interested in Trumpian conspiracy theories about the polls and I get that Biden did win the popular vote on a high turnout. Even so...

Trump increased both his vote share and amount. The Lincoln Project made huge efforts to try and shift Conservatives to Biden but it didn't really materialise. In spite of all the things Trump has said and done, he increased his votes with minorities. In spite of his awful covid handling, he is still favoured by people who prioritise the economy.

Im interested in what people think.

I'm seeing the responses.

I already know the answer which none of them cover.

It's what the bankers want; to see us divided and conquered by our differences, and exploited by commercialization. Unarguable facts.

@Amyrakunejo But the bankers don't have access to the citizens. Politicians do. So it's the politicians who continually side with the banks over the people who are pulling the strings.

@Amyrakunejo Who are you saying the bankers are?

@Amyrakunejo Well as a socialist, I look at America and still think its pretty weird that class politics in public discourse is most often played by the right against the left.

Im culturally left wing but for me economics defines politics more than the culture war.

P.S. To me both American parties have a right wing political outlook overall. The left of the democrats are the only none neoliberals.
