Because odds are the majority of americans are not for higher taxes, higher gas prices, higher power bills, more people brought in across the border and giving immunity etc.
The democrats had a bad platform and once you were away from orange man bad the message failed.
Thats why they lost their shirts across the nation in the house, barely any gains in the senate and got fleeced in state legislatures.

Think about. Trump lost (one way or another) and you are happy about that. BUT, Democrats did poorly otherwise. They lost ground. They went backwards by any metric when all the polling and media coverage predicted a Blue Wave.

Fair point.
However, the political left most certainly encouraged and pandered BLM / Antifa. So by extension, they are one in the same.
Here is the reality.
The typical Democrat indirectly supports BLM / Antifa. how do I know? I live in a uber liberal Democrat town. Damn near every house has a BLM poster. An LBGT flag flying. BLM murals painted in the street. These people cannot form two sentences without blabbering about systematic racism, equity, or intersectionality, or whatever other buzz word du jour is popular from the left. And these are all white people by the way. They all vote Democrat.
Sure, they don't support rioting per se, but they very much support what the organizations stand for.
