I would say yes, it’s great Democrats are winning special elections at a greater rate this year than back in 2017 and Trump’s unpopularity is definitely helping Democrats.

However, let’s be reminded that Trump had to be elected again in order for this happen. We can’t keep waiting for any Republican POTUS to be elected in order to win elections. That’s too lazy.

We have to stomp out GOP revisionist history whenever and wherever it crops up

Right. But how? Fox and the like aren't going to be forced off the air and the internet.

Breaking up the media companies and system is a better approach and allows more healthy competition with the media as opposed to media giants and excessive disruptive technology always sucking too much of the oxygen in the market.

Your second paragraph makes me kind of laugh in a sad way. The ups and down of American politics is torturous. But, your point is correct and we shouldn’t have the ups and downs so hard in the first place. People should be smarter at what they’re voting for and do it consistently. We should also have a safe real life version of Jurassic Park so it’s whatever.

Honestly, just like corporate sales departments push their sales executives to sell deals no matter the odds, the Democratic Party should do the same in how it elects Democrats.

I would love the DNC to get Democrats to think of red states like LA and OK as must-win states, just so that it raises the stakes. I know it may be a low probability of happening but why not?

In the mindset of a CEO, I don’t want to hear more Democratic Party insiders talk about how 2026 is going to be difficult for them in the Senate. I want them to bust their ass and win.
