I do see some downvotes and challenges true but there is too large of a percentage that are blaming everyone but themselves for putting us in this position by dissuading people from voting this last election. I'm sure a large part of it is just the tankie instances brigading though.

B-but what if I just want to be like 90% of Lemmies and bitch about bOtH sIDeS and how the "Democrats are 98% Hitler" but literally not want do the bare minimum (voting) so that Republicans can win again and I get to keep bitching?

Would that I could. If it were me alone I probably would have left the country years ago. But I have my husband and he is close to his family. They are already unhappy that we don't live in the same state as them. (My own family are pieces of Trumper Evangelical shit and I don't speak to them anyway)

While I'm glad he won and the message this sends to Democrat leadership, I think making this claim: "It seems the pendulum is swinging back towards left-wing politics" is very premature.

He won a Democrat primary in a deep blue city in a blue state, the same that elected AOC.

I don't think this really signals much other than, yes NYC likes leftist candidates, as we already know from AOC. This may or may not signal any kind of larger pattern about American political feeling as a whole.

If the same doesn't happen in cities and states across the country, it will just be disregarded as a fluke.

It's not guaranteed the employer will contribute. Half of them (including mine) do not. It's simply a tax deferred portfolio in that case.
