Democrats are not in disarray. Democratic voters didn't flock to change their voter registrations, Republicans did.

Biden ended a war, and pulled off a massive airlift to bring our people home.
Biden provided an additional stimulus, then started putting cash into parents' bank accounts, $25 and $300 at a time, every month, lifting children out of poverty.
He's about to pass infrastructure bills.

Wages are going up, despite GOP refusal to support it.
Mail in balloting is a real thing, good enough for everyone.

Here in WNC, the local GOP good old boys are pissed off and embarrassed by Wheels McNazi and his attention whoring for donations while he votes against anything to help his constituents. The backlash against the unvaxxed/anti mask set is real, and growing.

The doomsaying about the demise of the Democrats is overblown, and designed to sow discouragement.

GOTV. The GOP is 25% of the population, theloud 25%. Independents will break toward sanity.

It's been just under 8 months.

Regarding Don Johnson(D-GA), He lost in 1994 to Charlie Norwood by a 30+% margin. What was the reason?
Charlie Norwood was an inexperienced public servant. Don Johnson was not involved in any scandals. Johnson was a moderate Democrat.
