No they got killed because the Dems dont control the Senate, they got killed because the dems in general and the progressive wing in particular have no interest in fighting the boring state level trench wars that the GOP uses to control the US with, when AOC takes her game to Indiana and OK, when Bernie sets up shop in Georgia and works out a way to win there then the Dems and left wing policies in the US will work.
The left has to sell their policies in the red states at a state level, to win state seats in the south, until then they will do ####, the right wing everywhere has a huge advantage over the left, they only care about winning, they will adopt any policy that helps them win, the left doesnt really care about winning never really has
