From what I can tell, much of the 49% that voted Democrat is actively rooting for the starvation of America right now. It's not a good look when basic food staples are becoming cost-prohibitive and your party is seen to be supportive of it.
Then there are the Democrats with actual power in Washington, they're just doing what they always do: making speeches and voting for the interests of the wealthy, who don't even need the money anyway.
48.3% of those who voted in the 2024 presidential election, voted for Harris. However, those voters represent less than 1/3 of all eligible voters, far from a majority.
