why wouldn’t they? Bernie’s interests are aligned completely opposite to the interests of whatever groups that keep at least half of those democrats in their seats. That became much more clear when they happily voted no to Bernie’s “ban weapon sale to Israel” motions.
If Democrats were reasonable, objective people (which they are not), they’d probably look at the fact that the state of Missouri passed a $15 minimum wage, required paid sick leave, AND legalized abortion in the same election where they elected Republicans.
And then take that as a lesson of maybe what they should be doing in order to win back red states.
But they won’t.
They’re in the pocket of the rich and couldn’t care less about people who work for a living.
It’s a bit silly sometimes though, the citizens put initiatives on the ballot that Rs hate and then vote in all the Rs expecting them to implement the stuff in good faith.
If you consider the bigger picture it’s not silly at all.
Democrats spent four years, two of them with the same amount of power that Donald Trump has, letting people get significantly poorer and aiding a genocide. Then, they fronted an openly demented candidate who had a meltdown on national TV. Then, they let the brain-dead candidate crown a candidate who couldn’t even beat Tulsi Gabbard in a primary. After that, they spent three months of campaign time offering no policy changes, but just telling people to ‘be joyful’. Then, after that, Harris publicly affirmed she wouldn’t do anything differently than Biden had.
TLDR: Democrats made voters hate them just that much. You can’t tell tens of millions of people working 100 hours a week at three jobs just to afford a roach-infested studio that you’re not going to make their lives better. Sure, Dems say they support better things, but no one believes them anymore.
Yeah, people decided to try something else or more of the same as people do. That intersection was new republicans shouting they could strong arm the world a better place but kissed that it was a better place only for the wealthy.
People need change when the world is changing but their social contracts all stayed the same.
I really don’t get how people don’t see all this as signs that the average American is drowning and desperately need compassion instead of apathy.

Good question.

This is so confusing. Which party, if any, was supporting those measures? How’d they get on the ballot?
We are one of the last states that can still do ballot initiatives. That’s how weed happened anyway.

I guess that’s what I find confusing. Thanks!
