They constant underestimate how many people don’t vote but disagree with them. Staring down two elections likely to have historic turnout for the Dems, this is the absolute worst time to be trying to capture every seat
Like, their intentions are evil here, but they’re so stupid they’re shooting themselves in the foot again.
