Why, and how is it, after all that has transpired, Democrats are expected to lose in November?
Are Democrats really that poor at messaging?
Or is it that they are very poor at prioritizing the issues that most of America is concerned about?
After all that has happened, including an attempted overthrow of our government, and including the possible banning of all abortions, why are Democrats in such precarious political position?
Why do so many Americans hate the Democratic Party? If they don't hate the Party, then why is it so difficult for Democrats to win elections? After watching the Republicans in action, one would think the Democrats should win by a huge landslide.
But most people think the Republicans will win in November.
Is it really the fault of the media?
Does anyone have any idea why?

I have some answers for you, Kentuck.
First of all, there were the lockdowns. Depending on the state, we were pretty much under house arrest. Here in Half-Whitmer's Michigan, you could buy lottery tickets, and weed, but not garden seeds and plants. You couldn't get a screening mammogram or colonoscopy, but you could get an abortion, because (in that dumb broad's own words, "Abortions are life-sustaining." (Like screening mammograms aren't???) We watched small businesses--restaurants, mom & pops, etc.--close their doors, often for good. And when criticized for it, Half-Whitmer whined that her family had been impacted, too, because her daughter missed her prom and graduation.
Burn Loot Murder riots, which destroyed cities, cost many people their businesses, claimed a couple dozen lives, and inconvenienced thousands who got their groceries, prescriptions, and other necessities from stores that are now burned out hulks, as compared to January 6, when a mob of costumed and unarmed clowns stormed the capitol and delayed the election certification for a few hours. Objectively speaking, which was worse, kentuck? And what happened to the perps in both those cases? The George Floyd arsonists and thieves were bailed out and back on the streets within hours, with funds raised by the VP candidate (among others,) while the J6 clowns languish in jail for a year-and-a-half with charges amounting to not much more than trespassing.
Schools. We have been told that our children belong to the radical teachers' unions and their weirdo teacher/members (see Libs of TikTok,) and that if they choose to indoctrinate them with radical gender theory, and radical race theory that is none of our business because they know so much better than actual parents. And if little Johnny wants to wear dresses and be called "Princess" in school, well, they will allow it, and what goes on in school stays in school. MYOB, mom and dad.
The Biden Administration Ministry of Truth, and the attack on Freedom of Speech. 'Nuff said.
Inflation. That affects most of the country more immediately than overturning Roe v. Wade.
Scarcity of items on grocery store shelves. I'm an, um--age-enhanced person, and that has never happened in my life. It's frightening, and reminds me of pix I've seen of store shelves in the old Soviet Union.
The Biden Crime Family. It's been said so many times, but if it were Don, Jr. (or any R son or daughter) with the record of graft and corruption that Joe has, it would be headline news 24/7.
Oh, there is so much more, but my fingers are getting tired of typing. Maybe my CC friends here can add to the list.
