No that's not why.
They turned out the youth vote on abortion and college loan forgiveness.
Looking at the CNN numbers this morning, I am hoping against hope that the Democrats take a clean sweep. They deserve it. We deserve it. The idiots who voted on abortion and college loan forgiveness deserve it.
I can't wait to see Dems deal with an emboldened, yet demented Joe Biden.
Great analysis and points

This is well summarized and stated
May I quote you on this?
Both key issues you cite do NOT belong in Federal Govt.
That is largely why Conservatives cannot address them
through Govt, and Liberals require representation that believes in managing these issues through Govt.
The representation shifts to Statism candidates because Liberals depend on Govt for these issues and rights.
And the "votes against Liberal Statism in Govt"
hoover around 50% against vs 50% for
That is why I believe the correct response to this trend
Is to demand and enforce a separation of Internal social and domestic "public welfare" policies through a separately elected representative system (that allows optional and relative tax credits and funding by party proportional to the populations of each state district per party precinct and national/statewide party platforms that are treated as internal "political religions and creeds" that govt cannot regulate or mandate nor prohibit) -- from external public policies limited and defined specifically in the Constitution which require consensus to be enforced as mandatory and paid for with agreed system of flat fixed taxes such as on land which can be quantified objectively and uniformly.
To this end, I asked members of the Green, Libertarian, Georgist and Constitutional Parties to co write a petition including both a Vote of No Confidence and three proposed reforms for studying :
1. Preferential voting including the option of adding none of the above as a first, second or third choice, so losing votes do not necessarily go to other parties unless specifically approved by the Voter in order of preference. This way Voters vote Yes, No, and specify alternative choices as well.
2. Proportional representation by party, using both party precincts to set up cooperative based democratic representation, governance, and economic support so that people can represent and fund their own party platforms and policies, and electoral college districts to manage public policy to reflect consensus by the people per district, state and national levels. (I also suggest organizing interparty councils for mediating conflicts and communicating agreed position statements to media and govt to facilitate the democratic process of formal legislation and legal, judicial and Constitutional Convention proceedings so these are based on consensus where the policy affects the entire public)
3. Segregation of Internal and External administrations and jurisdiction, by separate means of representation and taxation, where uniform policies paid by mandatory taxes must be based on consensus, and anything subjective and not agreed upon is reverted back to states or parties to manage locally through the interparty councils to facilitate to determine which people or groups per district and state agree to fund and follow which political beliefs and policies that align with their respective creeds, BEFORE submitting consensus based position statements to the internal and external elected administrations to follow in order for the government process and policies to reflect the representation and consent of the people.
I am working on drafts of both the "Vote of No Confidence"
www.vote-no-confidence.us which may differ for each of 5 major party divisions in Texas and the proposed reforms, and require multiple websites for each political group (Republican, Democratic, Green, Libertarian and Independent/Other/None of the Above including Constitutional Party, Natural Law Party, Tea Party/SAM/Forward Party, Christian/Anarchist, Communist/Socialist etc. for those who prefer not to associate or rely on the other 4 major Parties for representation and/or need "Direct Representation" in addition to other representation).
But just posting this and asking people to collaborate on public statements is enough to get the reformed representation started, as organized by likeminded groups and creeds.
Thank you and please advise about citing your assessment of the situation. I think these points you make are perfect!
In the meantime I will cite your message here on USMB as the source. Thank you

Republicans look like they are going to take the House majority by a slim margin and the House Freedom Cucks are already making noises to McCarthy, threatening to derail his quest to be Speaker if he doesn't agree to multiple investigations including (surprisingly) Hunter Biden. So I expect the next two years will be filled with Republicans doing what they always do. Putting no substantive policies forward, waging culture wars, and going on a vendetta of congressional investigations which will go about as far as Benghazi did.
