The primaries haven't even been held in most states. Also disagree with the premise of the OP. Just because Democrats are not foaming-at-the-mouth crazy about their causes like the righties are about their insane "causes" doesn't make them "emotionally disconnected" or "trying to lose". Enough of this nonsense. There will be plenty of time for recriminations IF the election doesn't go well but why should we automatically assume that it will be bad? That's just buying into the corporate media line. Yeah, traditionally, Democratic voters don't get out much to vote during the midterms but that doesn't mean that that's how it always has to be. As long as we GOTV, we can at least hold the line in the Senate. If you don't feel like the Dems are pushing things the way you think they should, well, get thee down to the local campaign office and/or DNC and TELL THEM! Don't know that the DNC is spending time reading our posts for ideas. And if you think that you need more from the Dems for them to "earn your vote", well I don't know what to say. You've no doubt been paying attention to what President Obama and the Dems in the Senate have been trying to do and what the Republicans have been pushing in the House. Which agenda do you want to support and/or see enacted into law? That should help make up your mind quick enough, shouldn't it?
