The left not giving Biden credit for things that they demanded he do is less bothersome now compared to the sobering reality that the actual voting public simply didn’t like it at all. They don’t like a great economy built with new deal liberalism. They don’t like ending wars.
The left wasn’t showing up in polls because there simply aren’t that many of them, not because polls were wrong. The Squad seems like a total electoral aberration now.

Harris had one of the most scandal free, gaffe free, tonally correct and multitargeted campaigns I can remember. People liked her and liked her VP. It simply has become a very right wing electorate, in ways that likely have a great deal to do with social media.
People will claim she should have run farther to the left but her assessment of how right wing the environment was and what she had to do to win in it was surely correct
They know it’s not true but it’s a thing that won’t get you in trouble with the audience because liberals are nice (this is a big reason it’s not true, ironically)
Things the libs were right about
1. Trump turned out to actually be a fascist. Campaigned as a fascist and more or less governed as one, and when he lost an election he tried to retain power through extralegal means which culminated in a putsch in the Capitol. W for the libs here.
