Cool, thank you for the correction. He gained some votes, but not as many as the Democrats lost. Dem voters largely didn’t switch parties, they stayed home. Do you disagree?
We’ll move on to discussing why millions who voted in 2020 didn’t in 2024 only after you concede the electability argument. It just wouldn’t make sense to talk about what exactly made moderate dems unelectable if you’re unwilling to accept that that’s the case.
FDR (a progressive and the most re-elected and longest serving US president) was first elected 23 presidential cycles ago, and there have only been 59 presidential cycles since the country’s founding. He was far from perfect, but his progressive economic policy and creation of the New Deal coalition to combat the great depression made him the most popular president in US history. You’re welcome to dismiss it as a fluke or insist again that it was too long ago to be relevant but denying that it even happened doesn’t help your position.

Unfortunately a lot of democrats and leftists still can’t get past the idea of a women especially a woman of color being president.
If Biden had not stepped back he probably would have lost some votes but still would have won.

The moderate dems barely lost in 2024 but progressives haven’t even been a rounding error in an election in the last sixty presidential cycles.
Moderate dems aren’t unelectable and Biden showed that.
