but redistricting by the repubs makes this difficult. Plus this is where a large majority of money is spent is keeping control of the house, where they can fuck up shit and control the debate by controlling what bills get put up in the first place.

The Senate is great to hold onto, but the House is where the Democratic majority is needed for meaningful chance in terms of legislation.
