In another timeline RGB just retired early enough Obama put a different justice in lol. In another timeline they chose a better frontrunner who could actually win with people across the aisle (Bernie was viewed differently in 2016 imo). I can't shit on the Merrick Garland incident too much, but kind of a case where the Dems didn't hold up enough of their end of the bargain to retain seats.
