Holding the House and Senate is a Herculean task.

4. really frustrating how undemocratic our system has become.

it was never perfect, but it had been improving, if slowly.

as of now, democrats win the "generic ballot" -- more people prefer democrats to win congress -- yet we're only 22-24% likely to win the house (22% according to 538, 24% according to predictit).

never mind that we should be winning in a landslide given how horrible, inept, corrupt, and disastrous the republican party has become.

it's infuriating that the house race isn't even close. it makes no sense that we're a longshot to win the house, yet here we are.

gerrymandering and other factors have made far too few house races competitive. and this is the part of our federal government the founders wanted to be most responsive to the people.
