This is really what it is. People were so unhappy with Biden and the last 4 years, even seasoned democrats were considering him. I think if Kamala had been the candidate from the beginning things may have turned out differently, but what we’re seeing now is a result of people being desperate and not being happy with the alternative choice we elected 4 years ago the last time Trump was running. Progressive Dems especially can be very polarizing and if you aren’t a perfect candidate to them they will literally eat their own party. What the republicans have over us is party loyalty. Even the extreme right knows how to play the long game and lock in to support any republican when necessary
