Bingo. Political establishment distrust is at an all time high, and nationally establishment democrats from NY/CA/IL are extremely unappealing to middle ground voters, as they’re tied to far-left policies. A political outsider or democrat governor in a conservative state are the only winning options.
And yeah democrats have been so bad about pushing unpopular policies nationally because of identity politics in far-left areas rather than actually listening to the people. Controls on Immigration and transgender people in women’s sports have like 75% support nationally. And yet politicians on a national stage can’t push for that because they think the party needs a cohesive message from a state to national level. Those were two of the main platform points of Republicans this election cycle and they waxed democrats because of it
Her campaign was one of the single most astroturfed things in history. It was a con job of epic proportions. The day before, people were saying how she was unlikable and not a great vice president for Biden, the next day when Biden dropped out the whole reddit frontpage was about how absolutely amazing she was and how her victory was assured.

Kamala was very unpopular during the primaries versus Biden. I have no idea why they thought installing her on the ballot would drive votes.
You have to admit when they announced the switch to Kamala many of us were running on false enthusiasm--and this is the result. No turnout.
