People's feelings about the economy is the strangest predictor of change in modern American politics. And right now people are pissed and the GOP's greatest politcal.weakness right now is that they have too much power. It's harder to put the blame on the Dems when the GOP has absolute control over all 3 branches of government.
Honestly, the Dem's inability to put together a filibuster due to Fetterman may be a secret advantage.
I'm assuming you meant strongest and autocorrect gibbed you. But yeah absolutely there's discontent. My point was more about where that discontent is placed. For a lot of people it's placed at some abstract thing, for others it's at some invisible elite, and other still the very visible elite
You'd need enough agreement to bridge the gaps there. Which seems feasible locally but not so much state-wide and definitely not nationally
