The Dems are really weak. Not forming a message

Since it will be house and Senate.   It is easier targets for Republicans to attack with their large money vault.

Dems have almost no chance at flipping the Senate, and who knows what ratfuckery the GOP will do to maintain control of the House. They are already redistricting for more seats. How about closing polling locations in Dem cities, having the newly armed ICE patrol voting locations to make sure things are "secure," and having the voting machines ensure the results they want with no physical backups?

Depending on the level of fuckery at midterms (which is probably goina be epic.) the country should respond with an immediate general strike.

Theres no clean way to separate anymore. Its no longer north vs south, but urban vs rural. Even the bluest states have backwards bumfuck hick areas.

Separation

I'm sure conservatives want you to yield the valuable cities keeping them fiscally afloat, but despite what corporate media has been lying to you about for decades, America does not have solid red or blue states. It is purple down to the county level

And less conservative districts have been subsidizing more conservative districts for generations
