    Unfortunately I still think there is still too much Dem infighting. I expect a big painful loss for Dems this, and maybe even the next, election cycle. Perhaps after that there will be enough focused anger to unseat a Republican president.

      Nah, the independents are pissed off and going blue. I expect the dems to gain ground in November but not as much as they should due to voter suppression.

        Idk. People write off my neck of the woods, historically very purple, as racist and red af constantly…further driving the independents more and more to the right. It doesn’t help that the Dems keep attacking sensible gun ownership.

        Over my life I keep watching many many normal middle of the road people pushed right by the Federal Dems. They either fall in rank with Republicans or just stop engaging with anything outside local elections. It’s saddening but I’ve kinda just accepted it at this point.
