I agree, but I lament how voters quickly forget the chaos from the first Trump administration, and how much they didn't care about the DOGE agenda. They think they voted for a lower inflation (which is a very questionable premise by itself), but they didn't realize they were voting for the whole package. I definitely wasn't surprised, and American people deserve this. Hopefully the voters come to their mind in the next election, and hope it's not too late.

  even more stupid are Democrat party leadership who could have won past elections in a slam dunk, have they had thought about transition strategy in advance

    They did... It's clear their strategies are at best outdated, or at worst more focused on a neoliberal policy over a proper socialist strategy (hence, them blocking Sanders out twice). I know it's small fries given current issues, but this is part of why I think (or thoght) the biggest focus for the people should be getting more states to adopt ranked choice voting. That's the only way out of this game theory disaster.

      The current push is to outlaw that across the country. Just happened in Missouri I believe.

        how disappointinig. Yet another front to battle on.A bit insane how a position like "I want my vote to matter more!" can become a partisan stance with the right propaganda.

And yet those people are so quiet at best. At worst they think "it has to get worse before it gets better". But yes, I do wish some signifigant portion of the voter base would simply inquire one step further on their represenatives. Trump had no action plans for this, and when sworn in he passed 100 EO's and left Inflation as "tbd". Still is, as far as I know.
