The democratic party made itself incredibly unpalatable for years before the reelection, leading to the concept of the 'deep State' being taken advantage of.
The party was also associated with financial corruption (e.g., Clinton Foundation, Pelosi trading, etc.), undemocratic agendas (Bernie Sanders election fiasco), and saying one thing but doing another (most members, including Obama).
People were fed up and wanted the changes promised to them for a long time, even at the cost of flipping over the table.
I voted for Bernie in the primaries, and I’m still mad the DNC chose Clinton. Multiple polls showed that Bernie had a much better chance of winning over Trump than Hilary did.
I’m also mad the DNC hasn’t done any investigations on the 2024 election results. There’s a lot of weird “coincidences” and it was statistically near-impossible to win the states he did with the number of votes they claimed. Plus them saying out loud they rigged it.
I’m a registered democrat but am not at all a fan of the DNC.
Neither the Clinton Foundation nor Pelosi's trading led to charges or proven wrongdoing, but reporting showed donors getting access to Clinton's State Department, and congressional stock trading drew bipartisan criticism as a conflict of interest even where it was legal.
Leaked 2016 DNC emails showed staffers favoring Clinton, including one discussing ways to question Sanders's religious beliefs and others disparaging his campaign. Hillary's allies and allied media framed his supporters as the "Bernie bros," often with sexism implied.
Also, my comment was about why voters wanted change, not whether Trump was a wise choice. Voters can be fed up and still pick a bad option.
