I'm worried about the Democrats. I'm hearing some of them saying how delighted they are that everyone "even independents" hates Trump and they think "this means we win, right?"

WRONG.
Have ya'll learned nothing? You do not get to win just because Republicans are terrible.

Democrats need to pick some *powerful* enemies. You can't be friends with everyone and win. Trump understood this: picked liberal academia as his enemy.

There are many powerful interest groups in US politics. Democrats try to stay on good terms with all of them.

This makes it very hard to trust Democrats.

This is why people won't show up and vote even as the Republicans make this worse.

Pick a few somewhat powerful enemies. For example? The oil people and bosses (anyone who wants wages low and workplaces dangerous.)

Don't tell me you are "partnering with local business leaders" Disgusting.

To be clear I, personally would prefer immensely that they would win. Their inability to keep power has material real impacts on my life and the lives of people I care about. But, that isn't as true or as obvious to many people.

So, unless there is a tone shift what we have seen will only get worse.
