The failure of the blue wave starts and ends with the nomination of Joe Biden as the Democratic Party Candidate. Someone with Bernie Sanders' credentials is needed to gain the workers' vote. Joe Biden's resume is all about continuing Reaganomics. The rich never get richer by enriching the poor. The DNC for the last ~50 years has worked left, only enough to appease the upper middle class view of social justice. The GOP has sown lower class division. Both use fear against the working classes.
