The problem is that there are so many layups for democrats, and they can't/won't get that message to potential voters. It's almost laughable how little most of these affected people pay attention to the world (anecdotally, the people I met while teaching at a for-profit shithole (the actual intended use for that word) were not ones who I would describe as 'politically engaged'). I'm no media mogul, but it'd almost be worth just paying Kendall Jenner to run Instagram ads about student debt or voting rights or that fact that we have an illiterate racist who just raised their taxes manning our nuclear arsenal or any of the layups that dems should score. Instead I'm sure they'll stick with "going high". It'll probably work this time.
