Interpreting this election to mean that Dems have a mandate to enact your particular ideological hobbyhorse is as ill-conceived as Trump taking the 2024 election to mean voters wanted massive tariffs and mass deportations. Trump won because voters hated the job Biden did. Dems won because voters hated the job Trump did. Period.
