4. Democrats have an observable benefit against Trump in terms of voter optimism. For both Biden and Harris, polling numbers were initially significantly higher when they first hit the scene. When it actually came time for them to express their platforms, however, voters were turned off.

America is a country that is far more liberal than it is conservative. It arguably always has been. People wanted to like Harris, polling data shows this. The Democrats have such an unpalatable platform at the moment that they aren't able to take advantage of that inherent advantage.

You guys can argue about the size of Trump's mandate and what parts of his platform actually appealed to Americans, but the fact of the matter is that if Trump succeeds after years of fairly unpopular and arguably unsuccessful policy making from the Democrats, he is going to sweep in the midterms.

If the Democrats are going to win the midterms, they need to reinvent their platform and separate themselves from the Biden administration, and they need to do it now.
