As far as I remember you guys won pretty hard in 1992 stomping all over an incumbent fresh off a war victory, and then you had the Obama guy winning every day for 8 years. Since 1980 the Republicans had total control of Congress five times and the Democrats 4 times. Also remember that prior to seizing control of Congress in 1994, the Republicans were locked out of the majority for 42 years (last having control in 1952).
So you lose, but you lose lately. Overall the record is even pretty much.
The Democrats were playing the long game with the demographics and the social programs. Get enough people indebted to you and the votes are assured. Don't worry about today, they all have 10 babies each.
The Republicans couldn't compete that way so their long game became the judiciary. You guys can have all the votes you want but if your programs and agenda is destroyed by hostile courts, where you really at?
You guys are losing because you became too arrogant about everything going your way. When Obama came in I bet you guys thought you would never have to look back. When that happens you tend to ignore any rippling current of dissatisfaction and start calling people who don't like you 'deplorable'.
And don't be so 'we don't share that mentality'. I grew up in Chicago and NY, two Democrat bastions. I had an 'in' to that world because my mom was a political reporter back when people read newspapers and I strung along. Politicians are all the same. The party affiliation is just where your money comes from and where your obeyance goes. They are all the same narcissistic manipulating liars and the level of cruelty is not determined by your badge. Of course I'm generalizing, but you're safe to just go that way and you won't get burned.
You guys will get your guy in sooner or later.
Then the country will really suffer.
;p
(advice: pick someone that produces more than 500 ng/dL testosterone. That's a solid pro-tip right there that almost assures electibility provided the mail-in ballots are forged or whatever you guys are doing with that).
(advice to self: the amount of shit I'm going to have to eat if Biden wins is incalculable. Need to call mom and tell her she was right about wanting an Asian baby. Then I would have been able to do the math).
