Democrats are terrified of what the future holds for them in the United States Senate.
The party currently controls half the seats in the chamber, giving them, with Vice President Harris’s tie-breaking vote, the narrowest possible majority. But some in the party — like pollster David Shor, recently profiled by Ezra Klein in the New York Times — believe demographic trends put Democrats at grave risk of falling into a deep hole over the next two election cycles.
That risk exists even if Democrats continue to win more votes nationwide. “If 2024 is simply a normal year, in which Democrats win 51 percent of the two-party vote, Shor’s model projects a seven-seat loss, compared with where they are now,” Klein writes.
In other words, Republicans could well get a 57 to 43 Senate majority, the GOP’s biggest in about a century, even if Democrats win more votes.
This sense of impending Senate doom is the backdrop for many of Democrats’ debates right now — the messaging fight over whether the party should embrace “popularism,” the legislative fight over the reconciliation package that may be Democrats’ last chance to legislate for some time, and the frustration with a conservative Supreme Court majority that looks likely to be entrenched for years to come.
Democrats’ main problem is that they’ve been doing poorly among white voters without a college education, who are spread out across many states, while Democrats’ voters are concentrated in fewer, bigger states. (This is why Shor has been arguing that the party needs to change its message to better appeal to such voters.)

Oh man may it be so.
Perhaps we have hit rock bottom? One can hope.
Not nearly enough, especially with their fingers on the voting scale...
It’s not the ‘messaging’, it’s the ‘message’......................
the DemoNaziCommies will continue to “win” the Senate as they have their Election Theft Machine firmly entrenched now in all of the key states
So, why are they so determined to jump off the cliff for Bernie’s Bill? Maybe they figure they’re doomed in any event.
“So, why are they so determined to jump off the cliff for Bernie’s Bill? Maybe they figure they’re doomed in any event.”
They’re going for broke. This is their only chance to get leftism into law.
Not at all.
Because even if the GOP were to win 75 seats all we would hear on ABCNNBCBSMSNBC is AOL, Pelosi, Schiff and all the usual suspects 24/7 reporting on how terrible everything is.
1. Election fraud is now codified and accepted
2. Even IF the repubilcants somehow overcame #1, it isn't as if they would do anything but share power with the dems and give them whatever they want anyway.
Well faith hope charity let’s have some faith and hope - if the nazis and the commies and various occupiers were overcome surely we can manage. I have not yet begun to fight.
Writer is talking 2 cycles. Off year(2022) always favors the party out of the WH. 2024 may be a bigger wave for the reasons the writer stated but we have to think of ‘22 first. No excuse for the 2 losses in Ga.
Please don’t join ME in the trenches. Had you been in France it would still be a Vichy government!
Not scared at all. They’re in charge of the vote count.
agreed (but it took over 40,000,000 corpses before the Nazis were “defeated” (and they’re back)....
it may not be easy to restore honest elections here today
we will see
hopefully yours,

We have to accept that demographics will help the left long term. Fraud can be dealt with even if it’s only addressed in red state legislatures.
I’d like the majority in 2022. I’m impatient.
Scared enough to stop counting on election night.
Does massive organized Democratic Party voter fraud count as an “excuse”?
