I mean, literally what left had to do was repeat "Epstein" ad nauseum and they would have won midterms (exactly what Trump did with illegal immigration), but some of them saw jeans, and went all DeeDee "Ooooh What Does This Button Do?"

Was there actually a left-wing backlash to the jeans commercial? I'm pretty dialed in to the things the left gets mad about, and I didn't encounter the ad or backlash to the ad. Only the right-wing backlash to this alleged left-wing backlash that definitely totally happened.

I think part of this is how social media amplifies stuff. Maybe there were three people on the left who got annoyed about the jeans stuff. They then get so amplified that they are a convenient excuse for people on the right to focus on.

Social media tends to amplify the stupidest and most extreme voices, and since people are incapable of imagining more than 3 other people, they assume that everyone (in that category) holds that viewpoint.

And of course, we all know who holds the keys to the algorithms that decide what to amplify. The idea that they might push things that helps them personally isn't absurd either, and they surely don't like anyone on the left, being billionaires.
