(3,986 posts)You don't lose the House, Senate, and White House when you are doing well on policy and delivering. Of course, there were other factors to include... Biden's serious issues and a lack of a primary did not help us.
The job of the politician is to convince and to lead. My fear is there is this Carville dangerous notion that voters will flip-flop back to you without us changing. IF we deliver big next time we are in power...IMHO, we will not see such shifts in the elections again. We can and must maintain majorities for the foreseeable future. The GOP is an illegitimate group and a dangerous one.
It was a powerful moment back in 2016 to watch a demagogue destroy the Republican Party all by himself.
Where we are today as Democrats must change.
Among Democrats, 14 percent think the system is working either very well (1 percent) or somewhat well (13 percent), while 80 percent think it is working either not so well (32 percent) or not well at all (48 percent).
