But we don't want to change. How can we, when these beliefs are the status markers that make us feel special, smart, and moral?
So that leaves Trump. Maybe he can help us win? Maybe if his approval ratings go down, we'll win the next Presidential election?
LOL, no. Trump won't be running. We'll have to beat someone else. Someone who's policies on immigration, climate, and keeping men out of the girls' locker room are more in line with the preferences of the voting public.
"Trump is bad" didn't work when Trump was running! It's likely to be even more ineffective when he's not even a candidate.
Dems need to communicate their platform better. Too many voters are hearing what the Dem platform supposedly is from Republican liars than they are from Democrats. The typical voter thinks the top priorities in the Dem platform is "pronouns" and "open borders" and so on, as opposed to being about affordability and healthcare and so on. I'm not being glib, I'm not kidding. Do better, Democrats.

Democrats are ahead on the generic congressional ballot by 10 to 20 points.

Make your predictions, discuss polls, retirements, primaries, candidates, redistricting etc. here!
Some data points to start us off:
My prediction: Democrats will win back the House but won’t match the 40 seats they flipped in 2018. The support Trump got from young voters and Hispanic voters will crater. A few of the incumbent Republicans I’m most looking forward to waving goodbye to: Mike Lawler, Tom Kean Jr., and Scott Perry.
