My response was to your final paragraph. People resent Biden because of Gaza and because of the idiotic way the Democratic brass look down their noses at, and gaslight, the American people. This administration has essentially tried to tell us things aren't that bad when people who should have a solid middle class life are watching their credit card debt pile up. For another example, Hilary Clinton was on I think Seth Myers' show and when he mentioned people being hesitant to vote for Biden again, her response was a condescending "get over yourselves". That is the aspect of the top democratic leadership that not only liberals despise, but conservatives see as evidence of how the left is a bunch of elites with no regard for the common folk. There's a better descriptor that I can't think of at this early hour, but yeah. Those things are the cause of the resentment toward this administration, and I'd wager toward the Democratic party itself.
To be clear, I don't think you're wrong on your other points for the most part, but that last paragraph is missing the point IMO. Edit: I apologized.
