Quite wrong. Being anti-Trump, anti-GOP is not the same as being pro-Democratic party. I doubt very much if any meaningful number of people went to the polls thinking that their votes were ratifications of what Jeffries and Schumer are doing or not doing.
A lot of Democrats won because voters looked at the economic and political chaos brought by Trump and said "whoa." Eight million people don't turn out in the street nationwide because they're happy with the way things are going. Mayor-elect Mamdani received more votes than the total turnout in some of the recent NYC mayoral elections. Two Democrats won seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission, the first Democrats to be seated there in this century.
Voters are not happy and the person they are most unhappy with is the president and his lackeys. Watch for an uptick of Republicans in the House deciding to retire. And I expect some long-term Democrats to read the room and also opt to quit.
But for today, I am enjoying the fact that Andrew Cuomo lost two elections this cycle.

smilesmile. Bench the knee-breaker and don't send him a Christmas card.
Most of the polls were won by the DNC candidates because they were the best of the bad choices.
Much like the reason we got Trump the first time, the other candidates were such turds that he was essentially elected by default.
Same in this election.
Thought the Almighty Trump endorsement could overcome such minor obstacles, B. But Trump threatening NYC if they elected Mamdani
Reminds me of this:
Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government's confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another?
Bertolt Brecht
Great choice. An alleged turd (id est, a women) or the explosive diarrhea and his accompanying brown splatter that we are stuck with.
