I think a big part of their problem is the country is actually doing pretty well.
Having gone through two years of Russia Hoax Gate—when the walls were supposedly ‘closing in on Trump’ every third week, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact the economy is humming along, there haven’t been any foreign policy missteps, we don’t need anyone’s oil because we have enough of our and etc...things aren’t really all that bad. Actually, it’s very easy to argue things are pretty damned good under Trump.
Except, for the border crisis, which democrats pretty much own.
You might note the democrat contenders don’t go out of their way to talk about that lol.
But campaign messages are much easier to manufacture when there’s something out of whack. Obama for example, had it easy in 2008. The economy crashed and the country was done with Iraq. That campaign message wrote itself: all Obama had to do was claim he was the man to fix it.
But these nitwits are deprived a Big Problem that needs addressed—so they resort to manufacturing them. AOC is a poster child for it with ‘the earth only has 12 years’ nonsense.
The hard sell is going to be on the economy. Democrats *really need* the economy to tank within the next year and a half or millions of voters are going to turn a deaf ear to the democrat’s ‘remedies’ to ‘fix it’.
They have their work cut out for them.
And, with only 12 years left for earth, it kind of shoots the need for college (free or not) all to hell.
