Not sure what your point is…

My point is, if Dems govern fearlessly, rebuilding democracy, restoring rights, delivering tangible benefits to the people, without fear of what the Republicans might do, the voters will reward them with majorities for the foreseeable future.

It will be much harder to divide voters with fake culture war issues, when every voter can say “I have affordable healthcare!”, “I make a living wage”, “billionaires are finally paying more taxes than I am”…etc.
