    Neither am I. Seems the electorate have the collective memory of a goldfish. If the Democrats operate by their usual playbook and simply do nothing, then the absolute best we can hope for is barely squeaking out a win in 2028, which will be meaningless if nothing significant is accomplished with enough time for people to feel it’s effects. Republicans love to take control just before things start to get better, so it’s important to make sure people feel those effects well before the next election cycle so that not only do Dems have something to point to and say “look, we made things better!” but also the hopefully incoming democrat administration will be able to continue the good work and actually improve on it.

      If the Democrats operate by their usual playbook and simply do nothing,

      The biggest danger is that the Democrats will waste all this good voter energy to go back to focusing on feminist and transgender issues instead of the bread-n-butter working man issues that the Democrats used to focus on. TBH, I don’t know any Democrats who think about feminist and transgender issues. Most are concerned about jobs and inflation.
