When do they win? They need all 3 of House of Representatives, Senate, and Presidency to do much of anything. And theyāve had that for, drumroll please, 4 of the last 24 years. Or 6 years of the last 44 years. They basically never win. So they are forced to compromise and then they go to the center to find voters.
And when they do get all 3, Obama passed the ACA, Biden passed green energy, student debt, drug price control, etc,. And the thanks they get is to then lose the midterm elections. Thanks voters that donāt show up!
Biden did historically well in the midterms tbh. If it wasnāt for gerrymandering and a population capped House, Dems would still have complete control of Congress
Yeah my point is that voters did show up. Dems did historically well in 2022 for an incumbent party
Its just that the structure of our electoral politics favors rural areas and gerrymandered districts. Which currently means the red team benefits. Which isnāt the fault of recent voters

Yeah but it still kneecaps them. He canāt even do a sweetheart border deal without the House.
